Dean (Ultra Marathon Man) once said or words to the effect on how he managed to run for 200miles:Originally Posted by merrylegs
Cheers Ian, i'm planning some long walk/runs round home if it's not possible to get up to the lakes, would like to do a 24 hour training session round here just to see how i react to it, i know i can keep going for 17 hours as i did that at the Fellsman. Obviously the climb won't be as much, but the challenge of being on the go for 24 is lodged firmly in the head then
(Not got my book to hand so this is from memory)
"The limits on the human body are reached after about 50 mils, if you can run for 50 miles and take on food you can run 100, if you can 100 why not 200? its all in your head the muscles will keep going whilst ever your head tells them to do so."
If you can do 17 hours Steve then you can do 24
true but the track down to Honister pass is very tough on tired legs, theres nothing really hard on the last leg apart from the last Plummet down to the track but you can do that on your bum....but that's the best bit!
