I watched this last night, it was a bit sick. No 4 year old should be put through this, the coach (who hadn't a clue about running) got it into his head that the kid doesn't need water while running, there was one bit on the 70km run where the kid was obviously in trouble and to encourage him he dangled water in front of him but then took it away. The kid was training up to 120 miles a week in training, crazy stuff as he is still developing, and will be for another 13 or 14 years. Apparently now there is another Indian 4 year old who is training to break Budhia's record.
