Dentist to run 200th marathon
Rayman, a 62-year-old Toronto dentist, has run at least 30 minutes a day - or 5 kilometres,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whichever comes first - since Dec. 11, 1978, and says running is as much a part of his day as brushing his teeth.
Neither work, weather,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], illness or injury have kept him from lacing up his sneakers. He's woken up in the middle of the night to run before early morning family trips,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hauled himself out of bed for a half-hour loop when he had the flu,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and hobbled through pulled hamstrings and sore knees - all while juggling fatherhood and a busy practice.
As if that wasn't hardcore enough, Rayman will run his 200th marathon tomorrow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], about 30 years after he first ran the gruelling distance at the Toronto Police Games.
It will be his 15th this year alone, with three more to go before the end of race season. And he's not stopping any time soon.
"It's going to take something very dramatic to make me not run one day," Rayman said last week, just two days after a marathon in Scranton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Penn. "Something life-threatening, probably."
Rayman's early marathons were his fastest. A natural athlete, he ran them in about 2:45. Back then he'd drop out of a race rather than finish in more than three hours. Now, he takes four to five. (The average time last year was about 4:30 for men and five hours for women.)
It took a while for Rayman to accept the slowdown,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said. The dentist doesn't push himself to run fast, but that doesn't mean he's stopped competing. "In my head,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'm saying I can't run them fast, so I'm going to run a lot of them."
That kind of commitment to anything, much less exercise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], may seem crazy. But it's not as unusual as it seems. There are hundreds of so-called streakers all over the world. The top runner is Mark Covert, a 57-year-old teacher from California who hit the 40-year mark this summer.
As marathon running becomes mainstream, a growing number of runners are pushing it to the extreme. As of January,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 72-year-old Horst Preisler of Germany had run a record 1,500 marathons.
But that kind of regimen isn't always doctor-recommended. Repeat marathoners could be setting themselves up for serious health issues, such as arthritis in the knees and hips, said Dr. Chris Woollam, medical director for the Toronto Marathon.
"A very small percentage of people have really perfect mechanics and are able to carry off that kind of extreme - and it is extreme."
There's also something a little obsessive about such repetitive training, and it can be hard to tell when that obsession becomes unhealthy.
"It depends on whether (training) is interfering with their daily life function," said Lynda Mainwaring, a sports psychologist with the University of Toronto's faculty of physical education and health. If the athlete doesn't neglect relationships, work or health, odds are they don't have a disorder, she said.
For Rayman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's all about balance. He hasn't missed more than three days of work in his career and always made time for his wife, Marsha,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], their two children,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and now their grandchildren.
"Growing up, I took it for given that he would be home for dinner," said his son,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Shane Rayman.
Shane remembers his father's daily runs after work, and the long runs Saturday mornings. "To me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it seemed almost normal," he said. "It only struck me as I got older and I saw how others live."
