Ashrita breaks new record at Run & Become anniversary
Last June "Run & Become" the UK based chain of running stores founded by students of Sri Chinmoy celebrated its 30th anniversary. As part of the celebrations Ashrita Furman broke a new Guinness Book record by popping 170 balloons in one minute. Ashrita, himself a student of Sri Chinmoy, is known for holding the most Guinness Book records in the world.
Legendary marathon runner Ron Hill paid a special visit to the London shop to congratulate the staff with their anniversary. "Run & Become" also received special accolades from Barefoot Ted, the barefoot runner made famous by his appearance in Christopher McDougall's bestseller 'Born to Run'.
"I can tell you with great confidence that the exuberance and aura of good energy that I feel around the people of Run and Become is something I haven't forgotten and am thankful to have had the opportunity to be exposed to." -Barefoot Ted
Ashrita and Barefoot Ted met and inspired each other by swapping record ideas. Ashrita says he is able to break world records by using prayer, meditation and visualization.
