However, that is exactly what Hungarian runner Norman Varga is going to do.
According to NBC Sports, Varga will run the length of 50 marathons in 50 days and arrive in London just in time for the opening ceremonies of the upcoming Olympics.
Varga, 25, was a cage fighter. At 16, he had to get his arm reattached after being pushed under a tram.
Here's more from NBC:
He will cover some 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) from Budapest to London to draw attention to the importance of supporting young people.
Varga runs a foundation in his native Budapest district of Csepel dedicated to helping youth develop a healthy lifestyle and support their goals in education, science and art.
Varga's journey began Saturday. It will take him to Slovakia, Austria, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands before reaching London on July 27.
Good luck, Norman!
