Holy hell, sparta to Athens in two days?

Well I opened Google maps and it is 2 days 3 hours lol. 233km on modern roads. If he'd run on an average 10km/h for 12 hours per day total, yes it would be barely possible I guess. So it is indeed believable, but dude was really rad.

They actually run it every year. The Spartathlon. The course record is just under 20 hours total (including rest) (men), and the slowest ever podium placement was still just 35:31 (including rest) (women).
