A 50-year-old Chinese man who ran and finished a marathon in just 3.5 hours while still smoking cigarettes has gone viral.
Images of the “hot” athlete smoking while running have been making the rounds online with scores of social media users unable to believe his respiratory endurance.
The 50-year-old runner, known as Uncle Chen, had this unusual entry in the Xin’anjiang Marathon in Jiande, running the entire 26.2 miles while either smoking or lighting a cigarette, the Mirror reported.
Of course, no one disputes that smoking is not only a harmful habit but also a practice that comes in stark contrast to long-distance running, however, the 50-year-old smoker reportedly managed to complete his participation by recording the impressive record of 3 hours, 28 minutes and 45 seconds — a “good” marathon time, according to the Marathon Handbook.
As a result, Uncle Chen ranked 574th out of about 1,500 runners, according to a certificate posted on Weibo.
