That's just an accelerated C25K program. Harsh, but not impossible.

C25K compressed into 5 days is impossible if you're starting from the couch.

I think this is more about what happens when you get up to marathon lengths everyday.

Oh this would never work for someone that doesn't already have cardio conditioning.

I spoke too quickly, agreed. This would be madness, but it's still plausible madness, up to the limit of how much time you can spend per day running.

This can't continue indefinitely, you'll eventually be running non stop and simply die.

C25K is a month to do 5K. This is 5 days and you’re running 5K, 10 days 10K. 1 month 30k. After 1.5 months you’re running a marathon a day.

Harsh isn’t the word i’d use and if you aren’t an elite athlete you’re gonna stop after the first month if not before.

Yeah, ok, i spoke too quickly. It's not harsh, it's Darwinian.
