Peter, who is originally a techie from Belgium, currently works at an IT company in Chennai and also founded the popular Chennai Trekking Club. A familiar figure who has inspired many across the city to lace up their running shoes, he is also actively involved in several social causes. In fact, among his other altruistic endeavours, Peter has spent a lot of his time trying to clean up the city. Speaking about their incredible run, Peter said to the Times of India, "We ran around 190 km over two days. We got started on the night of Friday, February 10, and ran all through Saturday. We reached Auroville on Sunday, two hours before the marathon was to begin. So, we took a power nap and then laced up again."You may also like: You Think Running a Marathon Is Hard?

While the duo had initially intended to cycle to the venue, they switched their plans because according to Vipul "many people do that, so we figured we'd give running a shot." So, what's your excuse for not hitting the pavement this weekend?
