The 77-year-old farmer in the United States loves super horses and wins the championship by running 240 kilometers in 48 hours

On December 17, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, in the 48-hour race of the Toruń Mountain Superman Marathon recently held in Tennessee, the United States, a 77-year-old man won the championship, and he ran 149 miles (about 240 kilometers) in 48 hours, which was amazing.

The old man, Doyle Carpenter, had previously competed in Alabama, a 48-hour race, The Endless Mile, which ran non-stop down a one-mile circuit. Obviously, Carpenter is very good at this.

His first studio was 12 years old as a golf course caddy, when he was too young to drive, running 3 miles a day and then hitchhiking from the highway to work. During his time in the Army, he spent most of his life as a bricklayer. After retiring from the army, he bought a farm in Toruń Mountain, Tennessee, to raise longhorn cattle.

Carpenters are usually stubborn, so in the great plans of his life, he didn't think it was a great thing to win an ultramarathon at the age of 77. "A lot of people, they have problems with their hips, their ankles, their knees, but I haven't had these troubles since I was born." Carpenter said.

In October, Carpenter won the Endless Mile Run in Alabama, Alabama, completing 149 miles in 48 hours, which also counted the amount of time he slept in his sleeping bag on a cold night. This result can basically break the 77-year-old 48-hour road running record in the United States, but it is still waiting for official verification.

Carpenter has run 130 ultramarathons to date, including a race record he set in 1988, in Pensacola, Florida, where he ran 221 miles indoors in 48 hours and subsequently won the Indians 60 Miles and the 20 Miles in Chitch Hill, Tennessee.

"I've run through my life. It's just something I'm good at, usually your favorite sport is your best sport and I've always been a good runner. Carpenter said. To prepare for the race, he runs an average of 11 miles a day, mostly on his farm and on the loops around him. He only rests two days a week.

But his daily routine always filled him with opportunities to exercise, and as a bricklayer and breeder of longhorn cattle, he had to pull his own plow, which allowed him to exercise his endurance. "You run in the heat all day, and a lot of young runners try to avoid the midday heat and like dusk and dawn, but I'm used to it. Run a little harder, and if you get hurt, people will step over you and beat you. At the Superman Marathon, everyone helps each other. It's all a good thing, so I look down on the five-kilometer and ten-kilometer races. Carpenter said.

But Carpenter's son, who served in the National Guard, told reporters: "He's still going to run across the country, I think he's crazy." ”
