Rio de Janeiro: A Brazilian man with a penchant for sporting records on Thursday broke a new one after tackling the `most boring physical challenge he could dream up: running on a treadmill for 24 hours.
Pepe Fiamonini ran 188 kilometres (116 miles), more than four marathons, on a treadmill at an open-air gym on Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema beach.
Once validated by officials who watched the challenge via live stream, the feat will earn him a third Guinness World Record.
The 35-year-old took only short breaks to change his shoes or go to the bathroom.
"I define myself with one word: curious. I'm curious about my abilities," Fiamoncini told AFP.
