English singer and songwriter Harry Styles ran the Berlin Marathon in under three hours on Sunday. The 31-year-old former member of One Direction was among some 55,000 runners taking part in the race on what is widely regarded as the fastest marathon track in the world. Styles reportedly using the pseudonym Sted Sarandos and wearing a headband and sunglasses completed the route in 2 hours, 59 minutes, 13 seconds.

He trained more than was commonly believed humanly possible at the time. He ran lots of mileage. And the idea in the past was that lots of mileage would wear you out that you would die early.
