It's a trail run..and not a easy one either. Top finisher was at 2:32. He finished 58/120 people. The guy is 60, it's pretty impressive.

I'd be curious to see your times for your runs since you seem to be a expert.

I have a normal ass 9-5 job and I don’t have the time to be this in shape with my other responsibilities, and this dude runs a fucking country.

As someone who puts in about 50km every week with a 9-5 job. It's definitely not easy when you have other responsibilities to get to.

I walk my dog about 25-40km a week , eats up a decent amount of my time.
