#4 Pavel Nedved

Pavel Nedved
Pavel Nedved was a true-spirited runner

The former Czech Republic international who won the Ballon d'Or in 2003 and the Golden Ball for a record six times was particularly lauded for his brilliance on the wings. And well, he put the same skills to some greater use even after retiring when he ran the half and full Prague marathon.

The Juventus legend completed the half-marathon in 2010 clocking 1 hour 49 minutes and 44 seconds. Promoting himself to the full marathon in the same city in 2012, he completed the entire stretch in 3 hours 50 minutes and two seconds.
