Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room Ultra-running to the extreme

Just read this article about an army vet who ran 4,425 miles cross-country (Astoria, Oregon to somewhere in Maine) in honor of his fellow soldiers who have fallen in Iraq.

It says he averaged 29 miles/day, and only stopped for 4 days the whole trip, having begun on May 1 and finished today.

Sorta makes the Badwater-to-Whitney run look like preschool playground recess by comparison.

You're not comparing apples to oranges, you're comparing apples to habanero peppers!

Next we'll prove a 100m race is preschool stuff next to a 5000m race.

Some years ago, I ran a marathon, and several times in my training runs, I ran into the same guy (no pun intended ).

He had been running 25 miles every day for nearly a year!
