Joe1970 27 Oct 5:31pm, 27 Oct 2024 213 posts	0 Joe1970 We were talking on here a few pages back about 24 hour track races. Well, I did one yesterday - if you're interested the blog is at fetcheveryone.com/blog/60412/2024/10/490400 TL;DR - I was only ever going to aim for 100kms, and managed the 250 laps needed for that. It's a slightly surreal experience to be going round in circles for that long, but happy to have tried it and increased the longest distance I've ever run before
