That is an incredible pace.
Over 135 miles and 14,000 feet of gain on his way to the Badwater 135 course record, Max Jolliffe averaged 9:18-minute mile pace, staying remarkably consistent over 20 hours of running despite the air temperatures around him soaring to 117 degrees Fahrenheit.
After two months spent working with coach and ultrarunning wunderkid Jack Kuenzle, Jolliffe's discipline and consistency, both in his training and his racing, paid off. Read the full story of his record-breaking performance at the "world's toughest footrace" at the link in the comments.
