April 24th marked the day thousands of runners here on planet earth contested the 2016 London Marathon. The 26.2 mile race snakes through the center of England’s capital city, and this year almost 40,000 took part in the contest.

And one of those contests, it turns out, wasn’t even on planet earth.

British Astronaut Tim Peake entered and took part in the marathon live from the International Space Station. Strapped into a treadmill that simulated the same route as the runners down on earth. The 44-year-old finished the race in 3 hours and 35 minutes, according to the Associated Press, setting the record for fastest marathon-in-orbit in the process.
