I love long distance running, do you do any running? 
I love running but not neccessarily doing long distances. A couple of miles at a time tops.
That's really good!  humans are well adapted for running significant distances
Yes we have a unique ability to adapt and overcome nearly anything.
Long-distance running
Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least 3 kilometres (1.8 miles). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength.
Among mammals, humans are well adapted for running significant distances, and particularly so among primates. The endurance running hypothesis suggests that running endurance in the genus "Homo" arose because travelling over large areas improved scavenging opportunities and allowed persistence hunting. The capacity for
recent evolutionary ancestors may have needed to be able to run long distances in order to survive, and therefore natural selection would have favored traits that improve humans ability to run for long periods of time. 
Footwear Barefoot running Endurance running hypothesis.
According to the endurance running hypothesis, long distance running has been suggested to have played a significant role in the lifestyle and evolution of early hominins. Before developing more advanced hunting tools such as the bow and arrow, are thought to have used endurance running for scavenging and hunting. Persistence hunting
