Recently I read an interesting article in the newspaper. The cyclist Mr. Daisuke Nakanishi (中西大輔), 39 years old has run the entire course of 151,180 km of 130 countries. It took 11 years to finish. 82 tires, 13 chains, and 5 pedals have been changed. He received the Pedalian Grand Prix.
After graduating from college, he has worked and saved money. He has started his journey from Alaska, and been to South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. His bicycle weighs about 70 kg with cooking utensils, tent, sleeping bag and so on. He said, if you run every day, your body will be accustomed and you can run 100 km per day.
I like traveling very much, but I don't think I can travel for 11 years.
