It was my youngest son baptism over the weekend, so it was a family packed event. I was talking to a family member who goes to college at Penn State, she knows a student there who was born without lactic acid, or doesn't experience lactic acid build-up. The only thing he does besides doing his studies is run. His muscles never experience fatique, he was denied to try out for the olmpic running team because of his condition.
She told me every weekend he goes to meetup with a running group in the next town, instead of driving he will run for 3 hours, meet with running group and run with them, then runs home for another 3 hours feeling great. He just ran a 50 miler without stopping once, and did a 100 miler only stopping twice, to go to the bathroom.
The downside to this is his body is taking a beating, he is only 21 years old. He had to have his menisucs removed from one knee, I think he has no cartilege in the other knee. Doctors advised him to stop running, or just stop with these extreme long distances. He doesn't listen and continues to run. Pretty amazing.
