Vanek the ultrarunner: 64 kilometers and a heart condition
The room learns Vanek runs: his longest run is 64 kilometers of mountain trail in eleven hours and twenty-three minutes, and he is running the London Marathon virtually next month. He says running is one way God helped him overcome Wolff-Parkinson-White, a heart condition with abnormal rhythm, instead of relying on medicine. He asks for prayer for a 100-kilometer ultra trail in Cambodia next January, which drew nearly 3,000 runners this year.
