ROAD RUNNING
A a Day …
Marathon
Between September 2019 and July 2021 , Rupert van Vuuren averaged a marathon a day for 658 consecutive days , in a remarkable running challenge that saw him cover some 28,000 kilometres as he ran for a cause close to his heart . Of course , he had to overcome numerous challenges along the way , from coping with injuries and exhaustion , and replacing multiple pairs of shoes , to rushing around to join club runs and balancing running with work and time with the family . And even though he didn ’ t get to his target of 1000 consecutive marathon , this story is well worth the read . – BY SEAN FALCONER
