Stupid, but I would like to see a gif of him running in boots.

I've always suspected that people who do shit like this just aren't brave enough to run in a vest and running shoes - they wear stupid outfits so they have an excuse for not being able to keep up with the real athletes.
Now I think of it, maybe that's also the thought process that makes people go ski touring in boots that weigh more than 1500 grams? Just not man enough to admit that they only do one lap because they are slow and weak.

Good thing he didn't wear the Zero-G boot! The lack of rearward ROM would have hampered his efforts.

If it weighs over 1500 grams it's not a real marathon boot, obviously.

26.2/8 = 3.275 miles per hour (or 18 minute pace). That's walking, not running.

Apparently the London Marathon is where they have many bizarre records set fastest vegetable, fastest dressed as a fairy, on stilts ect
but then I heard on CBC the other night where the London marathon course is actualy a little short by a few hundred meters so Guiness was disallowing the guy on the pogo sticks record to which he said ... BFD I had a lot of fun anyhowLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Fake. Boots without a walk mode can't do 500m vertical, let alone 26 miles flat.

Good thing he chose the right boots. If he did it in boots <1500g, his record would have needed "*ski touring boots" next to it.

Joke or no joke, I actually agree with this. If you put start bib on, then you are racing. Put running shoes on and race. If you want to be on tv, run faster, not that you put some stupid outfit on... and next year even more stupid one, and in few years you end up running in ski boots.

The guy spent three years undergoing chemotherapy. If he wants to run in ski boots, let him. After reading his interview, I'm pretty sure he was going for a laugh and not trying to piss off every running weenie.
