One could safely assume he drank and ate some substances during this event.
The guy was clearly juiced up on dihydrogen monoxide.
Could be, but I think he was using hydrogen hydroxide

Being a multiple records holder undoubtedly helps a lot.
I think the GP is a bit confused and mixed Lithuania up with its neighbors. Lithuania, unlike its neighbors Estonia and Latvia, gave citizenship automatically to everyone residing in Lithuania right before the independence. While Estonia and Latvia chose to create a naturalization process aimed at excluding ethnic Russians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statelessness#Estonia_and_Latv...
Fair enough, I mixed up with Latvia, sorry

#83How does one train for a 24 hour run? Do you need to run the full 24 or is it enough to run single or double marathon distances leading up to the race?

#84I've started running and an unexpected challenge is boredom. The running is challenging as is, but doing it for ~1h30m has been, for me, well, tedious. I guess that's a byproduct of always being within arm's reach of a phone.
For the past year I’ve been running a lot, and I’ve found that listening to podcasts and/or audio books is a great way to stay cognitively engaged with something other than the physical sensations of running, as a bonus you get to learn and experience cool stuff.
There is also a benefit to running without audio, in that you have a chance to let your imagination go wild, or try to focus hard on your breathing, cadence, and form, but I can understand that being challenging for many people to do for an hour or more at a time.

My problem with running was knee malfunction. I don't know how people do it short of just accepting the damage and/or getting mechanical replacements.
I wouldn’t say it’s a given that running torches your knees - mechanics, flexibility and musculature make a big difference.

Strava also shares the latitude/elevation during the run. (Screenshot in case you dont have Strava https://imgur.com/PuuKo5r ) What I find interesting and don't really understand is why the elevation keeps going down during the run, even though he stayed on the same track. Anyone have an idea why that could be?
It’s probably based off of a barometer in a watch, not GPS, and the air pressure was changing
Yes, a high-pressure area was moving over Italy the last couple of days.

Damage from running, while not unusual, is not the default. Running does not wear out the knees long term.

Go slower, allow your musculature to adapt. The aerobic system adapts quickly and then beginners go farther or faster to “feel” the same challenge but the musculature adapts more slowly and then injuries occur.

I started with this problem when I first started running. Once I was conditioned, the boredom went away. I was only doing 45 min. I was on an outdoor trail with different paths through different environments I could choose from.
