English term or phrase: Mile eater
"The nature of the mile eater - he doesn't know when to stop. Fierce his maiden name, savvy his last name. Be it hard surface or soggy path, these running shoes are built to pleasantly stretch distance - for extra turns around the block or further into the hills."
