The world's greatest athletes may well live on top of a sacred mountain in Japan. As part of their spiritual training, the monks run 84 km every day for over three months.

  • Fucking hate the advertising.

  • I had to remove this from my favorites & playlist due to the advertisements. It's unfortunate YouTube is being overrun by them. Time to scrub my playlists....*sigh.

    Way to screw it up YouTube.

  • The reason why i love marathon monks is their eagerness to to do their task without being afraid of what lies beneath those forest. I salute them for their determination. :)

  • @kikomiko1

    you don't realize the distance and how hard it is to actually run 52 miles(84 km). Only ultra marathoners will be able to run it but that only happens in races instead of everyday. Your stupidity amazes me.

  • @Blackmusca way to pay for the survival of youtube.

  • @MrIzo56 Walk 17 hours straight, sleep for 2 hours. The day has 24 hours, its very possible

  • @kikomiko1 80km off of barely any sleep, straw sandals, very little food, for 100 days straight. Oh, and no ipod

  • @Nihm420 I think he might have. If not he has at least an amazing story to tell...

  • @kikomiko1 agreed..this is no running
