Greek ultramarathon runner Yiannis Kouros has been called many things by his peers, running experts and the public: “The Running God,” “The Golden Greek,” “Modern Pheidippides,” “The Master of Pain,” “Unstoppable” and many others, according to greekreporter.com.
Ultrarunning experts have also calculated the miles the 63-year-old Greek runner has run since high school and reached the conclusion that Kouros has covered the distance from the earth to the moon.
Kouros has broken more than 160 world records up to now — and perhaps most astoundingly, all of these remain unbroken. One of his peers, Canadian Trishal Cherns, has admitted, “There’s the elite, the world class, then there’s Yiannis.”
