Having taken part in 24 hour races in the past, I was really interested in this story.

Lithuanian Aleksandr Sorokin has done it again, this time setting a new 24-hour world record by running 309.400 kilometers (192.252 miles) at the 2021 UltraPark Weekend 24 Hour race in Poland on August 28 and 29, 2021. The distance is still to be confirmed. Incredibly, to achieve this record, he ran an average pace of 4:39 minutes per kilometer (7:29 minutes per mile) for 24 hours.

Just after my sixtieth birthday I was well pleased with myself when I ran a park run in 21 minutes. This means running 1k splits inside 4 minutes and 12 seconds. This guy was running close to my best 5k pace for 24 hours. Simply amazing.
