Running-related Odds and Ends you might not know about Clark Elliott, AI Professor.

• I began running in 2001 to help recover from an injury. I have never trained, but prefer to run every three or four days if possible if I can work it.
• Up until 2005 I could probably have run thirty miles on any given day should it have been necessary to do so, subject to some constraints.
• I had a chance one Saturday in fall of 2003 to run until I stopped, without having other obligations, so I ran continuously for eight hours, completing 40.5 miles, around a 0.725 mile track in Evanston.
• I ran in the 2003 Chicago Marathon, but was a little tired from running the 40 miles the previous week, finishing in four hours, seventeen minutes.
• I was not able to register for the 2004 Chicago Marathon, so I just ran 27 miles on my own. I only ran three times in the four months prior to that day, which seems a little strange.
• I never run two days in a row if I can help it, giving my body time to rest.
• I ran thirty miles once in 95 degree weather, in the sun.
