Can you run from Seoul to Busan? This person did, twice

@Tammy Park in The Korea Herald

For most people, getting from Seoul to Busan means roughly 2 1/2 hours seated on the KTX.

Isaiah Addison, better known as Zay, went the long way: on foot.

The long-distance runner, freelance model and content creator set out from Seoul on Aug. 8 and covered nearly 700 kilometers over 10 days before reaching Busan — the equivalent of more than 16 full marathons.

Data from his high-endurance sports watch with built-in GPS shows 683.5 kilometers of recorded activity between Aug. 8 and 17 over the course of 82 hours, 17 minutes and 33 seconds, with 5,165 meters of ascent. That works out to roughly eight hours of recorded activity a day.
