        I don’t think they did it right. A) because he said he ran 32 miles on that loop or 451 and a bit loops and B) I think even if he ran all 3200 miles that year, OP is off by a factor of 10

      That’s not true. They have put mouse exercise wheels in the wild and mice use them for fun. Mice love to run.

      There was actually an interesting “exercise drug” line of research seeing if they could make a pharmaceutical that would make exercise fun. Wonder if that went anywhere.

              I would personally love an exercise pill. I have pretty severe depression so getting into an exercise routine is a huge struggle. If I could take some medication that helped I would be so happy.

      Pete and Pete was, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of what could be done in a show for kids.

    Reminds me of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Transcendence_3100_Mile_Race

    This race, which lasts several weeks, is hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and takes place every summer in Queens, New York City. The course is 3,100 miles (4,989 km) long. Runners negotiate 5,649 laps of one extended city block in Jamaica, Queens, bounded by 164th Place, Abigail Adams (84th) Avenue, 168th Street, and the Grand Central Parkway — a distance of 0.5488 miles (883 m) — while the streets are in normal use.[2] The runners have 52 days to complete the distance, running from 6 a.m. to midnight, an average of 59.62 miles (95.95 km) every day. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.[3]

    I like to think the road leading into the cul-de-sac is accurate in size and his paths varied by about three road-widths and he was running through people’s yards at times.

    (The truth is probably that the app doesn’t draw over previous paths so 450 laps equals 450 lines side-by-side)
