While traversing the world over five years and eight months, Garside ran across 30 countries on six continents, covering more than 30,000 miles.

During that time, he slept in the snow in the Himalayas, and at a monastery in Tibet, and also had to out-run thieves in Mexico and gunmen in Panama. He even spent five nights in a Chinese jail for not having the right travel documents.

    This guy stole my idea! Except I wanted to WALK around the world. Still, I think my idea kicks ass. Walking is so much easier! You'd take longer, see more and work less... a priceless vacation if you ask me! Not to mention you'd be raising money for a good cause!! hence, a paid vacation.. oh ya!!

    sorry buddy, running is for suckers!

    What an amazing feat! I've always had a fascination with extreme human endurance feats, especially running since I like to jog once in a while.

    He should write a book!

    The kid behind him looks like he's either checking out his ass or his shoes.

    My money is on both!!
