German endurance athlete Jonas Deichmann has become an expert at pushing the limits of the human body. <\/strong>Over the last 8 years, he has pulled off some massive efforts that set new standards in outdoor sports.<\/p>\n The 37-year-old has set numerous world records for long-distance cycling, including the fastest time of the Pan-American (more than 14,000 miles in 98 days). And at the end of 2021, Deichmann completed the first-ever “triathlon around the world.”<\/strong><\/a> Over 14 months, he ran, cycled, and swam his way through 120 triathlons stretched across 18 countries.<\/p>\n But Deichmann isn’t one to keep still. This year, he finished what amounted to his toughest feat ever: 120 triathlons in 120 days. He completed the accomplishment last week, breaking the previous world record of 105<\/strong> consecutive<\/strong> triathlons<\/strong><\/a> set by Sean Conway last year.<\/p>\n Calling it the Challenge 120, Deichmann started on May 9, doing his 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, and 26.2-mile run every day. By the time he crossed the final finish line on September 5, he’d covered a staggering 283 miles swimming, 13,422 miles biking, and 3,147 miles running. He pulled off the challenge in Roth, Germany, considered Europe’s triathlon capital. <\/p>\n GearJunkie caught up with Deichmann this week to find out how he pulled off this insane feat \u2014 and what’s next in his endless quest for adventure.<\/p>\n
