Raw Legends!!

So to do a whole marathon of 26 miles 385 yards is a feat in itself. I cant imagine what someones body feels like the day after one of those. So to do 2 marathons in a week would be impressive, and say 4 in a month would also be amazing! We'll what if I said a human being could run 366 consecutive races over a year, would you think I was joking. Not only 366, but only eating raw fruits and vegetables for energy?

We'll...

I'm not joking because Jeanette Murray-Waklin and Alan Murray have done it, when they ran around Australia, finishing at the start of this year! Raw Legends!! Yea, thats right a world record of 366 MARATHONS! 

Their efforts are amazing, considering they are in their 60's, and the fact that Jeanette overcame cancer (through eating a raw vegan diet).

Here is some words about why they did it from their website,

'To inspire and motivate conscious lifestyle choices, 
to promote kindness and compassion for all living beings and 
to raise environmental awareness for a sustainable future, 
veteran raw vegan runners Janette Murray-Wakelin and Alan Murray ran together around Australia, 15,782 km, 366 marathons each in 366 consecutive days throughout the year 2013. 
Janette and Alan finished running 365 marathons in 365 days in Melbourne December 31, 2013.
On January 1, 2014 they ran one more marathon #366 
to set a new World Record for the most consecutive marathons, 
the only couple to Run Around Australia, both 60+ years young, 
fueled entirely on a raw vegan plant-based diet and wearing barefoot shoes!
Together they have proven beyond any doubt, that by living a conscious lifestyle, 
you are never too old (and never too young) to achieve optimum health and physical fitness.
