Huang Zenglong, who began running seriously during the COVID-19 pandemic, reportedly left his business to fully dedicate himself to endurance training. He spent nearly a year preparing for the challenge, building physical stamina and mental resilience before attempting the record-breaking run.

Reports suggest that he maintained a strict training routine, running daily distances and gradually increasing his endurance capacity over time. His preparation included continuous monitoring of diet, recovery, and performance to ensure he could withstand extreme physical stress.

During the 100-day challenge, he was supported by a professional team, including medical experts and nutritionists, who closely monitored his health to ensure he could safely continue the extreme endurance task.

Speaking after completing the challenge, Huang expressed joy at receiving recognition from Guinness World Records, stating that many people initially believed the feat was impossible and beyond human capability.

He credited discipline, preparation, and mental strength for his success, adding that consistent effort over time made the achievement possible. His record has drawn global attention, highlighting the limits of human endurance in ultra-distance sports.
