So the Marathons are over for another year.
40 years ago marathon running was considered extreme.
Now normal people who train can achieve this distance.
So what's your next challenge?
How about I introduce you to Wim Hof
40 years ago marathon running was considered extreme.
Now normal people who train can achieve this distance.
So what's your next challenge?
How about I introduce you to Wim Hof
He has done the most
incredible of things.
For instance:
Hof holds 26 world
records, including one for longest ice bath.
In 2007 he climbed to 6.7 kilometres (22,000
ft) altitude at Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes, but failed
to reach the summit due to a recurring foot injury.
In 2008 he broke his
previous world record by staying immersed in ice for 1 hour, 13 minutes and 48
seconds at Guinness World Records 2008
In February 2009 Hof
reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro wearing shorts within two days.
Hof completed a full
marathon (42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi)), above the arctic circle in Finland,
in temperatures close to −20 °C (−4 °F).
Dressed in nothing but
shorts, Hof finished in 5 hours and 25 minutes. The challenge was filmed by
Firecrackerfilms, who make productions for BBC, Channel 4 and National
Geographic.
In 2010 Hof again broke
the ice endurance record by standing fully immersed in ice for 1 hour and 44
minutes in Tokyo, Japan.
In 2011 Hof broke the
ice endurance record twice, in Inzell in February and in New York City in
November, setting a new Guinness World Record of 1 hour, 52 minutes, and 42
seconds.
In September, Hof ran a
full marathon in the Namib Desert without water, under the supervision of Dr.
Thijs Eijsvogels.
The cold is his teacher.
And apparently, he can teach you!
Wim Hof the bulletproofbodies Team Salute you.
