Meet 50-year-old , chain-smoking "Uncle Chen." This Guangzhou man 26.2 miles while chain-smoking cigarettes at the Xin’anjiang Marathon in Jiande, China on Nov. 6...
quote:

Chen -- who crossed the finish line with an impressive 3:28 time -- finished 574th overall out of nearly 1500 runners who competed ... despite taking heaters to the face throughout the race.
Chen has become a sensation for smoking during races -- in 2018, he blasted cigs during the Guangzhou Marathon, where he finished with a 3:36 time.

Adding to his legend ... Chen followed up his jaw-dropping performance in 2018 with another strong outing in 2019, finishing the Xiamen Marathon in 3:32, according to Canadian Running.

I can't imagine he's actually inhaling. I think that's like an 8-9min mile for 26.2 miles. No way his lungs are taking cig smoke regularly and cranking out that speed - at 50+ years old too.
