Mini Forklift Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I have known Michael for a few years, top guy and one of the most positive and loving people out there. He has been vegan for around 30 years now. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7974032/60-year-old-on-cusp-of-marathon- This Sunday he is due to run his 500th marathon (that's not a typo, five hundred marathons) !!!! Check out the article above, he rightfully goes into the record books after this weekend. GOOD ON YOU MATE !! ANOTHER PRE-MARATHON DINNER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 That is so cool!i can't fathom doing 1 marathon let alone 500¡! Kudos in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 It defies logic, he's such a cool person to be around to. This photo has a bit if a story to it, he really gave me a hard time wearing black and giving off negative energy from my clothing ?! That was at the start of my 10th full marathon and his 450th lol.

BigRed Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 500 marathons! That's mind-blowing! Having run one marathon and trained for a second which was cancelled, i have to say running a marathon is no small task. 500...wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 I've ran 12 full marathons, one of my training partners ran his 100th in September this year after basically running an 'official' 42.2km race every week. That's a lot of planning (and $$$). 500 is simply ridiculous, hard to even get your head around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I saw Mike at the start of June and he's up to around 525 now and still completely injury free, which he attributes completely to his diet. AWESOME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
