Belgian runner Stefaan Engels set a Guinness World Record after crossing the finish line of his 365th consecutive marathon Saturday in Barcelona. Engels competed a race a day in seven countries: Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. “I wanted to inspire people by showing that if I could run a marathon a day for an entire year, that anyone could run or bike a little each day or do something about their weight problem,” said the 49-year-old, who ran a total of 9,569 miles. It was Engels’ second entry into the Guinness books. His 20 Iron Man triathlons in a single year earned the record in 2008.
