Mensen Ernst (1795\u20131843) was born in the village of Fresvik, Norway. He made his living running, mainly through placing bets on himself being able to run a certain distance within a period of time.<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

PARIS \u2013 MOSKAU<\/h3>\n

At the start of the 1830s, Mensen Ernst planned a journey on foot from Paris to Moscow, which he would attempt to complete in only 15 days. The departure date was set for 11th June, 1832, the twentieth anniversary year of Napoleon Bonaparte\u2019s disastrous march on Moscow. Ernst started out from Paris at 4am. He ran about 2,500 kilometers in 14 days <\/strong>averaging over 175km a day<\/p>\n

Ernst was given a hero\u2019s welcome<\/strong> on his arrival in Moscow, once his identity had been established (with his disheveled appearance he had been mistaken for a begga<\/strong>r; and in any case, he turned up a day earlier than anyone expected). After days of banquets and receptions in Moscow, he travelled to St. Petersburg, where he was presented by no less than Tsar Nicholas I<\/strong><\/a> himself. Add to this the 4,000 Francs that Ernst won<\/strong> from wagers, and it might be considered a good couple of weeks\u2019 work.<\/p>\n

CONSTANTINOPLE – CALCUTTA<\/h3>\n

On a later trip, from Constantinople to Calcutta, he spent 59 days, running140 kilometers per day<\/strong>. It is an incredible achievement to run such a distance without the proper gear and food, crossing that part of the world in the first half of 19th century.<\/p>\n

\u00a0THE LAST CHALLENGE<\/h3>\n

His last trip started in Bad Muskau (Germany), and went through Jerusalem and Cairo<\/strong>, from where he intended to run along the Nile <\/strong>until he found its source. He died in January 1843 from dysentery<\/strong>, close to the border between Egypt and Sudan.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
