"I wanted to do something insane," Jamasen
said, laughing. "He's always taking on the world," sister
Melissa Rocha said. "Just one against the world, that's Jamasen."
The previous Guinness World Record for the Fastest
lunge mile
was 25 minutes 45.22 seconds and his time
25 minutes 21 seconds for 1.609 kilometers or a true mile
says Rodriguez.
It was through the Guinness World records
Web site that Jameson got inspired for his lunge run. he followed
a link about the world's fastest lunge mile. "After I saw
it, I knew I could beat it," he said.
The lunge mile it's essentially an
exercise in excruciating leg pain. Instead of walking or running
a mile, Jamasen lunged to his knees, alternating left and
right, with each step. It took him 1,370 lunges.
Brian Heese, Jamasen's track coach, wasn't
at all surprised by Jamasen's desire to break a world record.
"He's always thinking up new challenges to throw out there
and see if he can do it."
