Stefaan Engels: Marathon Man Photos?

Belgian athlete Stefaan Engels claimed another world record by running 365 marathons in as many days.

Engels is now known as the marathon man. He averaged around 4 hours to complete a marathon. He said his best time was 2 hours and 56 minutes.

Stefaan Engels had asthma as a little kid and doctors told him he should not participate in sports. But he didn't listen and decided to overcome his ailment by running his first marathon at 25.

How many miles did Stefaan Engels cover while doing all the marathons? Are there photos of him?

Stefaan Engels began the challenge a year ago in Barcelona, Spain, competed in seven countries, and finished his last race in the same city. In total, he covered 9,569 miles.

Engels said he did it as a personal challenge, and as an example to others.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the previous record for most marathons run on consecutive days was 52. It was achieved by Akinori Kusuda.

For Engels, this is the second time he made it into the Guinness Book. In 2008, he earned the honor for finishing a record 20 Iron Man triathlons in a single year.
