Extreme sportsman and fireman Andreas Michalitz, 51, who was dressed in full uniform as well as breathing equipment walked 70.9 kilometers (44 miles) on a treadmill at the weekend without taking a break, covering 88,000 steps whilst carrying 24 kilograms (53 lbs) of equipment.

The previous record-holder had completed 50 kilometers (31 miles) so reportedly Michalitz broke the record by 13 miles. He was entitled to take a five-minute break every hour, but refused.
