Yiannis Kouros


YIANNIS KOUROS! The most incredible runner,a greek,called the 'running god' or 'Pheidippiddes successor'.In case you dont know Pheidippides,he is the central figure in a story that was the inspiration for a modern sporting event, the marathon. Yiannis Kouros holds every men's outdoor road world record from 100 to 1,000 miles and every road and track record from 12 hours to 6 days. See the below video,he calls it a spiritual experience to run such long distances in which you leave the body and the body kind of no longer matters. Deep stuff!
