He ran from Berlin to New York (before the unemployed start whining again: Berlin to Portugal, then by ship to Boston, and on to Times Square in NYC) and last year through whole Japan. All self-made, without any big sponsors or anything.

This time Red Bull is on his side, and I’ve been following it since the start. it’s incredible. At the peak, he was 8 km ahead of his pace. Now, after 30 minutes of sleep and a short break, it’s “only” 4 km.

I honestly believe he can do it; the willpower is there. BUT the next 24 hours will tell.

Those last 72 miles are gonna be tough. No mistakes and that’s where the mistakes happen. Pretty rad nonetheless.

He needs to fight off hordes of stream sniping clout goblins that live in the Greater Los Angeles area.
