Chain-Smoking Marathoner Finishes In Under 3.5 Hours And He's Done It Before
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Marathon runners are such a dedicated bunch that many fine-tune their breathing to maximize oxygen intake for the 26.2-mile race. Chen Bangxian, nicknamed “Uncle Chen,” finished the arduous race on Nov. 6 in 3 hours and 28 minutes, according to a certificate from race organizers first reported in English-language media by Canadian Running. Photos of the “grandpa” have since gone viral on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. In one of the viral photos, "Uncle Chen" is seen running in the Xin’anjiang Marathon on Nov. 6. He ran the 2018 Guangzhou Marathon while smoking in 3 hours, 36 minutes — and even improved upon that the next year, finishing the 2019 Xiamen Marathon four minutes faster, according to Canadian Running.
