I can't figure out if it's talent or child abuse, to be honest.

You are correct to be concerned Cody. There is bound to be some damage with that amount running in child so young.

He's obviously talented... but running for such long periods while your body is still developing so fast can't be good. I'm not a parent yet, but isn't it common advice, with a young puppy, not to walk them too far while they're still growing?
My girlfriend is a keen runner. I spectate at a lot of her races, at Marathons the kids under 14 aren't allowed to do the full course, they do a shorter version...

I suspect that the child isn't quite 3 years old. Maybe he's a dwarf or something?
It can't be good for him that's all I know.

Definately "Something Not Quite Right", apart from the fact that a 3 year old is being pushed to run so far, the BBC can't do maths...
"Budhia Singh, who recently ran 60km (33 miles)"
"a distance of 60km (37 miles). "

Well in 10 years from now we will find out if running is really that good for you lol, I cant see any physical harm being done, but I do wonder about mental harm if the kid is being forced.

Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.
