I always had two types of drink with me: Jocko White Tea for hydration and caffeine and G1M sport for some easily digestible carbs. The reason for this was to carry flasks and also some other essentials such as blister plasters at all times.
48 hour running challenge skin#
Although the runs were fairly short at around 40–45mins, I decided to wear my running backpack, Salomon Adv Skin 5. Looking at gear, I wore the Salomon Speedcross 4 (for most runs), these are my go to hill running shoes and they have served me well for over a year now. The snow came back four days after the challenge. Although it dropped below freezing at night, I was incredibly fortunate to end up with three days of no rain and sunshine. The route also follows either a paved road or some well-established trails, I did not want to navigate the woods at night for this one. There are a few hills to conquer, but it is generally a flat route. The route I chose started back out of our garden and took me into the local nature reserve.
The days before easter was the perfect time to do it with the added benefit of earning the chocolate eggs. Also I would need a couple of days for recovery afterwards.
It needed to be a time when the whole family was on holiday so that work or other activities did not get in the way. But, the March date when David and my friend were doing it did not work for me. Shortly afterwards a friend of mine told me he was going to do it. I follow David on social media and saw him promote the challenge this year. You might even be able to catch 6–8hrs of sleep in a 24 hr cycle.īut like any good workout, the ones that look ‘alright’ are the ones that screw you up. You don’t need to carry all your fuel with you like you would on an ultra marathon. You get to come home and put your feet between rounds. Actually can you even call it a challenge? It is only 4 miles. When I first read about it, I thought to myself this challenge sounds doable. It is a hilarious read and one of the challenges that David made Jesse do was running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. Jesse invited David Goggins to stay with him for 30 days to train him. I first heard about it in Jesse Itzler’s book “ Living with a SEAL”.
