A man has been spotted running an entire marathon while chain- smoking cigarettes - and he even managed to get a competitive time. The man, affectionately known as 'Uncle Chen', ran the whole 26.2 miles with a tailor-made cigarette hanging out the corner of his mouth.
For many this would have slowed them down, but the 50-year-old managed to finish the event in a respectable three hours, 28 minutes and 45 seconds. Images of Uncle Chen running the Xin'anjiang Marathon in Jiande, China have gone viral online, as people can't believe he managed to complete the distance while smoking, or without running out of cigarettes.
