Best of luck to him
I’ll cheer him on from my couch.
hope all goes well for him,a good support crew is a must on this race.I don’t think I’d fancy starting a 220kms race from death valley.
And I thought my 8 full marathons was something to be proud of…………….back to the drawing board!
I admire your modesty!
Not just 8 marathons, but 8 ‘full’ ones.
That was before they became Snickers. On July the 19th.
Good documentary on YouTube about the badwater marathon. Running for 25 hours straight with one 20 minute “rest”. They have to run on the painted part of the road during the day as there shoes will melt on the Tarmac. Nuts!
Pff, I’ve seen tougher.
Seen from the comfort of your own living room no doubt
Clearly humour is lost on you, Alan! Despite your possibly veiled attempt.
Wish I’d listened to my body this morning when I went out for a run.. after a long one yesterday too, my legs are banjaxed. Best of Luck tonight.. I’ve stared at Mt Whitney from a distance, wouldn’t fancy running up it!
Atta boy Mully, best of luck kid!
Best of luck
Joggers are a pain in the hole.
The extreme version mus be coming soon -three in a row
