About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

The top three runners today showed their outer and inner strength. Men’s Leader Andrea Marcato and Women's leader Tsai Wen-Ya both touched 130 laps (71.3 miles), though Wen-Ya went home an hour ahead of Andrea. The third savant of the group- Wei-Ming Lo- reached 135 laps- 74.0 miles today. He thrilled the counters and officials, running seven or eight laps in five minutes, plus ten or 20 seconds. He was smooth as a daisy for several hours this afternoon and evening - a superb display from the 59-year–old athlete. The secret reason for the speed display- Wei-Ming was impressed with Wen-Ya and her brilliant race so far. Today, Wen-Ya passed 1900 miles in a new women’s total of 28 days+04:50:07. She eclipsed the effort of Kaneenika Janakova- the current all-time record holder - who had run 30 days+03:05:35 in the summer of 2017.

The pleasant weather and no rain allowed the runners to do their best.
