It's incredible, no question about it. But it's also incredibly sad. I mean, you have one life. One. And you spend 2-3 hours every day on the very same f'ing route? Life has so much more to offer.

Besides, 3 hours for 8 miles, that's not running, it's slowish walking. Not judging here, I'm not 70 yet, but I'm wondering how much of his health problems are actually causally related to this stubbornness. In a bad way.

Wait till you hear about people going to the gym 3-4 days a week.

Repetitive activity has serious benefits in terms of outcome / mental load

That's quite different. It's not the same gym for 50 years, what they do in the gym changes over time etc. I'm personally in the gym 2-3 times a week. Very different from running the same route for 2-3 hours every day for 50 years.
