Why 5k when it's only a week since Austrian Christoph Strasser set the records for 1000 (one thousand) kilometers, in just under a day (with 2 minutes total for breaks and clothes changes).

Because I ran distances from 5k to marathon (with 10k being my favourite) and so I know from my own experience. I have no knowledge of how you run a 1000k run.

Ah, 5k running. I was still on topic with cycling. Sorry.

Oh, then we mistunderstood each other.

Though I should have noticed, it is not possible to run 1000k in a day. Maybe you could, but you would need to have flat terrain and maybe something like a... bike:)
