I love the shots you get of people running alongside trying to keep up.

To put "trying to keep up" into my wheezing knacked old athletic "performance", to break two hours he has to run the distance of a standard running track (400 metres) 105.5 times, doing each lap in 68 seconds. Earlier this year my quickest 400m lap was 82 seconds, and I was donald ducked afterwards. 👀
