And that is <em>without<\/em> ripping a full pack of lung darts on the route.<\/p>\n<p>Chen out-paced that time by 66 minutes. In doing so, he finished 574th overall out of nearly 1,500 runners.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even crazier is that this wasn\u2019t just a one-time thing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-uncle-chen-smokes-and-runs-all-the-time\">Uncle Chen smokes and runs all the time.<\/h2>\n<p>Uncle Chen was photographed during the 2018 Guangzhou Marathon and 2019 Xiamen Marathon while burning down a full pack of boges. He finished the former in 3:36 and the latter in 3:32, so his time in 2022 was even faster than his previous records.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Chen is an ultramarathoner, so he has run distances up to and beyond 55 miles while taking heaters to the dome. However, it has been noted before that he <em>only<\/em> smokes <em>when<\/em> he runs.<\/p>\n<p>Chen is not a regular smoker. He doesn\u2019t get anywhere near a full pack of cigarettes on a daily basis. He doesn\u2019t even pick up <em>one<\/em> cigarette on a daily basis\u2026 unless he\u2019s running. At least, that\u2019s what has been claimed through the social media channels.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond what has been said, there is not much else on Chen. There is no backstory to why he smokes cigarettes while running, but it presumably has something to do with nicotine acting as a stimulant.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming that is the case, it seems like there are so many other stimulants that would be better\u2014 but hey, if it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running a marathon is not an easy task, but a Chinese man who goes by \u2018Uncle Chen\u2019 did so while chain-smoking a pack of cigarettes.
