LESSON 24
The most versatile record breaker in the world

Ashrita Furman: The funny thing was, that next to the jumping jack record there was the somersaulting, and I said ' Well, that would be kinda neat to have two records one next to each other in the book'. So then I started training for the somersault, but you get very, very dizzy and then I said, 'No, no, I can't do that, that's crazy'.

I was rolling around and rolling over glass and dirt but I was so happy because I did a quarter of a mile. And even though I was black and blue and covered in dirt and everything, I was thrilled that I had gone that distance.

I have the fastest mile - 19 minutes11 seconds and also the longest distance - 12 and a quarter miles. That was really hard. You have to go continuously but they allow you to stop to throw up, which you have to do... often.
