The 25-year-old American marathon runner Vinny Mauri has completed high-mileage training sessions on treadmills in Ohio ahead of the Chicago Marathon on October 11, Runner's World reported. [1][3]

According to Runner's World, Mauri has logged training weeks exceeding 120 miles, with some reaching nearly 140 miles, including at least 11 runs longer than the standard 26.2-mile marathon distance. On September 8, he completed a total of 45 miles across two treadmill workouts, which included a morning session averaging a 5:00 per mile pace over 20 miles and an afternoon session averaging a 4:59 per mile pace over 16.2 miles.

A standard marathon covers a distance of 42.195 kilometres, or 26.219 miles. Completing the distance in under two hours represents a major physical and psychological barrier in distance running. [4]
