'Barefoot' runner Aleks Kashefi solo-ed 3,846 miles in 196 days from Nordkapp in Arctic Norway to Punta de Tarifa in Spain. The Buxton-based teacher started in August 2016 and was raising money for Mountain Rescue England and Wales, the Stroke Association and the Thomas Theyer Foundation for young people with ADHD. Aleks ran on average a distance of 30 ??? 40 miles a day with around 8kg of kit, wild camping the length of Europe and crossing the Swiss Alps and the Apennines of Italy in winter. He now plans to swim the length of Britain???
There's some super impressive stuff there. With regard to Aleks Kashefi, 3846 miles in 196 days gives an average of just under 20 miles per day, not 40. Am I missing something? Si.
