He is going for the running backwards world record in Boston

Sol Cal man Loren Zitomersky is planning to run the Boston Marathon backwards. When he qualified for Boston, he decided to go big. He opened up the Guinness Book of World Records searching for one that seemed attainable. He didn't want to dress as a frog so he decided to run backwards. The current record for running backwards was slower than his running forward so he's giving it a shot. The record he is going after was set April 9, 2017 in Hanover Germany. Markus Jurgens ran 3:38:27 backwards. (01/11/2018) Views: 2,769 ⚡AMP
