I have just started running and heard about this guy, looking at his back story in a day and age where athletes are almost computer programmed with every bit of tech and analysis at their disposal it is very refreshing to see a working class hero doing so well. He cannot even accept sponsorship monies due to his job in Japan and works 40 hours a week. By all accounts he seems like a decent fella also... Chapeau..
Love it. Everyone who has met or seen or been impacted by this guy in a positive way is coming out to say I met him and hes awesome! As they should! He crushed the best in the world by more than 2 minutes, utterly amazing.
he races almost every week, using race as training. besides that he averages around 80 mi per week. everything he does seems challenging the traditional training ideas. i think he is one of a kind.
Yeah the difference is instead of high mileage he HITS IT each and every single run. There are no easy sessions with this guy. You have to have a super strong base to train like this and not get injured.

He has a pain tolerance like no other.
Grit of this man inspired me.

Viggo Bauman Hard work and determination pay off. Much respect for him.
from what i gathered... no coach, no sponsorships, only one run days, and a full time job. There is hope people.
And he's not east african.

And also he's been a competitive runner since elementary school.
you might have confused him w Sarah Sellers who only ran Marathon race once before.
Well said! Very inspiring!
