Chilean miner Edison Peña finished the Tokyo Marathon on Sunday, shaving more than 30 minutes off the time he set in New York in his second such race since he was among the 33 men rescued in October. Peña, 35, had been training more than 6 miles a day, and it showed. He finished the race in 5 hours, 8 minutes, 19 seconds. In the New York City Marathon, he ran and walked on bad knees to finish in 5 hours, 40 minutes on Nov. 7. “It was not like the New York Marathon,” he said. “I didn’t walk. I ran the entire time.” Peña jogged through tunnels while trapped underground. He said more marathons will be in his future.
