Well, this just blatantly isn't true since

"[Dean Karnazes] ran 3,000 miles (4,800 km) across the United States from Disneyland to New York City in 75 days, running 40 to 50 miles (65 to 80 km) per day, 2011"

But it is not 90 miles / day. Still very impressive :)

True but "ultramarathon" is "anything longer than a marathon" and 40-50mi/day easily disproves the "humans can't ultramarathon every day" statement.

I'd agree that it's very unlikely anyone could keep up 90mi/day for very long. If Karnazes can't ...

Here's a guy who ran one 875 ultramarathon in 5 days at the age of 61 - without sleep or otherwise resting:

Cliffy Young is awesome. He's a national hero in Australia.

Yeah, he's amazing. Makes you wonder how many other heroic athletes are just bumbling about in normal life without people noticing them.
