While watching it they made reference to a sect of Monks that run 1000 marathons. After a few googles I found out they are Japanese Monks are from the Tendai sect of Buddhism. They run enormous distances every day for 100′s of days straight. The first year they run 18 miles a day for 100 days. I think I could do that. Well maybe for a few weeks. hmmm…

Check out this documentary.
