Wish me luck. I'm taking up a challenge from a friend to run 104.8
miles (the distance of 4 marathon) in 7 days
starting this Friday June 24 until June 30, which averages to about 15
miles a day. That's about 2 hours a day which adds up to more or less
14 hours endeavour for the week. Add on top of that 15 minutes of warm
up in each session which adds 1.45 hour to the total time.
The most distance I've done in a week is about 35 miles, so this represent quite a steep climb to the next performance level.
Inshallah we'll cover 100 miles in 16 hours.
This challenge is a part of our effort to continually
shorten the number of days to cover these 16 hours of running. The
ultimate will be being able to run continuously for 16 hours, which off
course fall into the category of "ultra marathon".
Once I accomplish this, the next level would be to compete in the
Badwater Ultra Marathon, the hellish 135 miles run starting in Death Valley which has to be completed in 60 hours.
After completing that competition, the next logical and very expensive step would be completing the
Seven Summits. It will off course be funded by SilverKey :)
I always wonder where my physical limit is and this is a good way to find that out.
