PAGE 马拉松，全程距离26英里385码，折合为42.195千米。跑马拉松需要极大的耐力和毅力。土生土长的西伯利亚人鲍里斯·费奥多罗夫更是把这件事做到了极致：零下38度跑马拉松。 The Coldest Marathon How cold is too cold for a jog？For most people, below-freezing temperatures generally put a stop to outdoor exercise，but Siberian native Boris Fyodorov is not most people. Minutes after the calendar ticked over to this past 2014 New Years Eve，Fyodorov set off on a solo, out-and-back marathon run from his home in the Siberian village of Oymyakon，completing the 26.2-mile course—his first marathon—in just over five hours.During the run he experienced temperatures as low as －38℃. And that was just the way he wanted it. “I heard about other marathons around the globe，naming themselves ‘the coldest’，like the most recent North Pole marathon with runners going at －28℃，” Fyodorov told the Siberian Times.“I thought surely this cannot be right.Our Oymyakon is the coldest inhabited place in northern hemisphere.Why dont we arrange a marathon here？” Oymyakon is widely considered to be one of the coldest places on the planet，and its record-low temperature of －68℃，recorded in 1933，is tied for the coldest recorded temperature for any inhabited place on Earth.The average January temperature in the area is －50℃. Not only did Fyodorov finish the marathon in high spirits，but he also wants it to be colder the next time he tries it.“I really want to organize the next Oymyakon marathon in January when the air goes down to－50℃ or －60℃，” he said.
