I’ve never really got the whole Ultra Running thing, most of them walk most of it. It must be fucking boring. I think that the most that I have run in a day is about 40 miles (actual running). I’ve run 230 miles in a week a few times.

      Dry-Tinder there is a vast range of abilities, much the same as you would find at your local 10k

      For me it’s the challenge, both physically and mentally, can you push yourself beyond the limits of endurance

      I find a balls out 5k or 10k harder as it burns the lungs

        303abuser Let’s set up a collection to send him to Canada, we can run it together.

        If Mill’s can hold him still, I’ll stick a postage stamp on his head Thursday.

        Should be with you in a week or so 👍

        Top work on the run too, ant even contemplate how you do it!

            Dry-Tinder Is that a typo or did you actually do 230 miles in a week? My peak weeks this summer were around 115 km and that was rough.

            Of the 6.5 hours I was out there, I ran a little over 4 hours and walked/power hiked the rest. It wasn’t a mountain race, but it was about 1400 meters of elevation. Unless you’re an elite runner, walking is pretty necessary, especially in the heat.

            And Like Hursty mentioned, it’s the personal challenge. I didn’t run this one to finish, I raced it. I left everything I had out there and don’t think I could have finished any faster on that day. After I crossed the line, I laid in the shade for 20 minutes with ice on my head. I like the feeling of accomplishment, the race is just the celebration lap for the months of training.

              Mad_Cyril Make sure you get a good sized stamp and maybe put a neck warmer on him, it get’s cold at night this time of year.

              And thanks, the 50k is oddly manageable. How anyone finished 100 miles in those conditions is beyond me.

                Lol!

                  Since 2014 I’ve finished number 1 in the Uk in Strava’s monthly distance challenge on multiple occasions, I’ve also had several top 10 finishes globally, my best finish was 2nd. I ran over 100 miles a week for 63 weeks in a row, and done 1568 half marathons as of this morning. I can provide screenshots. There’s nothing wrong with my running credentials.

                      Lol!

                      Had no idea we had our very own Forrest Gump on here!

                      Dry-Tinder pm me your Strava handle DT, i would like to follow, impressive stats considering how much time you spend dispensing of the neighbours pets!

                        Just uploading some of Tinders stats for you, lads. Found using the search function.

                        1. Most threesomes with strangers met in Newsagents post club night champion 2019-2021

                        2. Finished 4th in West Yorkshires “Spike a Drink Bonanza” competition in 2017.

                        3. Finished 2nd four years on the trot in Spice Magazine’s “Rohypnol Classic”, bagging 27 homeless women over the course of the competition.

                        4. Finished 1st in the inaugural “Sharing is Caring” event in Bristol, where he gave away all his drugs to unsuspecting victims.

                        5. Northern Europe and Balkan’s record holder for most solo excursions that ended in 3-star hotel gang bangs.

                        Anyone got DT in the sweep for ‘next board member to go Radio Rental’. He could easily be our next Derms / Flares / Hugo.

                        Dry-Tinder That’s impressive, I actually thought 230 miles in a week was a mistake. How did you keep from getting injured at that volume? I seem ok so far to about 100k/week and after that I feel like I’m riding the edge of breaking down. Strength work is helping and I’m sure more experience running will too, but that kind of consistent weekly volume is intense.

                          All seems rather excessive chaps.

                          It is, the time commitment even for what I’m doing is huge. 10+ hours running, 2 hours of strength work, 4 or so hours of stretching/rolling/rehab work every week. After back to back 16 week training blocks, I am looking forward to just running and lifting when I feel like it for a few months. I need the mental break as much as the physical recovery.

                          I couldn’t do that, it wouldn’t leave me with enough time to kitchen sink it and ledge the bants.

                          Any normal lads on here playing a few weekly games of 5 a side or are we all circumnavigating planet earth a dozen times a year?

                            -si- lol. Quite. Most 40-something blokes thinking they’ve done well to get to no.65 on the local sports centre squash ladder and along comes Grant with his VO2 max numbers and the Eliud Kipchoge bros to piss on everything we’ve strived for. Cunts
