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.
As we have this conversation he's already up to almost two marathons per day. And we're not even a quarter through the year.
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.
