Is running 40 miles a day detrimental to the health of an 8 year old girl?

Saves a fortune on airfares.
Physical damage is indisputable, which makes it abuse. The girl is probably cajoled into doing it, if not it's the parents' responsibility anyway to stop her doing the damage.
It's just an extreme example of the widespread phenomenon of parents pushing their kids to be extraordinary beyond reason. Can be attributed maybe to the parents being past it and trying to live out past or missed ambitions 'through' their kids. Coupled with the fact that modern culture almost worships unique or exceptional talent. Leave them kids alone!

Don't think this is a good thing to allow / encourage your child to do, but IMO no worse than allowing them to fill their faces with sweets and junk food, and letting them sit on their fat backsides watching TV all day.

Shocking stuff. The Asians are renowned for their 'different' approach to child sports, have been for ages.
I'm amazed at the other kid too, by running a distance of 65km non-stop in just seven hours and two minutes - 10kph roughly for 7 hours! Wow, couldn't even do wouldn't want to do that for 7 minutes!
