William Morgan, a physical education professor and psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, says that runners "can develop a sensation of omnipotence. They begin to feel invincible. They run through red lights, challenge cars at a light. Their behavior becomes absolutely bizarre to their peers. They begin running 100 to 120 miles a week."
