EatSleepRunRePete May 2021 12:40pm, 19 May 2021 13 posts	0 EatSleepRunRePete Love the idea of this ... it is probably the only way you will ever push yourself to your absolute limit, and beyond! Not sure I'll do one though ... may have a crack at something similar though just to give myself a taste of what it might be like

Physically, other than the heat, it was the easiest 100 miles I have run I think. I would like to see just how far I could go if the conditions were right.

It would be an interesting personal experiment to see if you can judge where you perform best in effort to rest ratio. On the one hand, I'd like to go at brisk pace to have more rest but once I sit down I'm probably less inclined to start up again. I'm not an ultra runner but doing something like this locally could be an interesting way to dip a toe in. PYLLON EXPOSURE do a similar concept where you choose a total distance and the RD texts you every hour to tell you how far you need to run pyllonultra.com
