5 footballers who have run marathons

#3 Luis Enrique

Luis Enrique runs triathlons as well as marathons

An Olympic gold medalist with Spain, a three-time La Liga winner as a player, Luis Enrique went on to claim the treble with Barcelona in his first year as a manager. This speaks volumes of the ability of the man. But, something unique that he has to his name is the feat of running marathons and taking part in triathlons.

In the break when he had retired as a player and prior to taking up his managerial duties, Luis ran four marathons; the 2005 New York City Marathon, the Amsterdam Marathon in 2006, the Firenze Marathon in Florence in 2007 and the dessert Moroccan Marathon des Sables in 2008.
