Without a doubt, 100 miles is a monumental endeavor. The safest way to avoid needing a multi month recovery would be to work the aide station instead of running the race. On the other hand, much of the transcendental impact of the race comes from pushing yourself well beyond preconceived limits.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> Without a doubt, 100 miles is a monumental endeavor Well, I'll find out in March. Assuming I don't knacker myself first. (Although it is somewhat overshadowed by the people I hang around with - one of them is currently on something like his 250th marathon in a rolling calendar year, one has done 800 under 3:30, and most of them do 10x10s as a matter of course.)
- dogruck 9y agoYou're going to succeed.
- zimpenfish 9y agoOh yeah - barring injury, I think it's definitely doable. It's a 32h cutoff on a relatively flat and simple looped course with multiple aid stations. Almost as easy as it can get... :)
- dogruck 9y agoHere's my advice: 1. 100% commitment. An unexpected injury or illness is outside of your control, so don't worry about it. 2. Toe the start line fit, injury-free, and positive. 3. Know that it will hurt. 4. Enjoy the day.
