Sept 25, 1938
Hyde, England

April 30, 2015: Ron Hill just sent me his latest lifetime mile total.
September 2008: I spoke with England's Ron Hill about his well known running streak and total lifetime miles. It was his 70th birthday. Hill, a meticulous record keeper, puts his total miles at about 151,000.
This makes me a little dubious about people claiming to have over 200,000 miles, which would require someone to log 3000+ miles per year (60 miles a week) for over 60 years. Still, I guess it's possible. I hope to explore this subject in more depth as this blog develops.
Here's much more info about Ron Hill from Wikipedia.
