Dean Karnazes is a freak of nature: He can run for three days and three nights and never get a cramp

"So what's his secret? Scientists in Colorado who were mesmerised by Karnazes's running ability put him through a series of tests to find out. They discovered he possessed an extraordinary high lactate threshold - that's the body's ability to clear lactate from blood and convert it back into energy."
I thought this was interesting when considering ME/CFS and the low lactate threshold, the abnormal lactate production, and the associated struggle with exercise.
