'Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it' Oprah Winfrey, talk-show host, actress and producer, as seen on Huffington Post. In 2011, Belgian runner Stefaan Engels set the record for the most consecutive marathons run - 365. He was 49 years of age. A study at the University of Oxford concluded that the post-run buzz people get after running is sparked by cannabinoids - the same substance that's found in marijuana.
