In 1986, he astounded the ultra-distance running world when he won the 1000 Mile World Championship and set a new world record by running the distance (1 609.344 kilometers) in 11 days, 20 hours 36 min. 56 sec. In between his 100-Mile National Championship wins and his 1000 Mile World Record, Mittleman set three consecutive American Records in the 6-Day Race, the final one being set in 1985 at the University of Colorado Field House.

    I thought this was gonna be some garbage with an agenda to sell N.B. shoes but glad I watched. Very good info. It kinda makes me think of a “Tai Chi running” if such a thing were to exist. Thanx.

    wow! I have been doing aerobics, and my heal is in a lot of pain right now. I am going to take your advice on the shoe, but is there anything you would recommend for someone with no arch because I have flat feet.

    I’ve been wearing MBT’s. I call them my “rocking shoes”.

    Thank you for posting this video. I’ve been wearing some cheap shoes for a few months and my feet hurt after about 6 miles of jogging. I need to buy some better shoes. I’d like to run a marathon one day: not for speed, but for the challenge of endurance. I’m totally out of shape right now. So perhaps I’ll be ready in a couple of years.

    This is great stuff, Stu! Thank you so much for sharing. Your explanation about stopping the energy flow when you have the wrong shoe is an amazingly clear illustration!
    You’re awesome! Keep up the great work! :)

    Really good sound sensible advice, thank you for giving your time to help others

    Shoes are terribly important, you can gain improvements in balance in motion, protect from fallen arches and also help alleviate back pain from properly fitting shoes. Also down at heal or worn shoes can lead to tiredness and other muscle problems…

    Thank you…
