A few days ago I ran for seven hours and eleven minutes without a break. Let that sink in for just a moment to realize the magnitude of it. That’s not a typo. I ran all day. In extreme conditions.
When I woke up that morning, that’s what I intended to do. I drove to the ultra race start zone. Waited around with the other runners. And then took off. It was fully planned.
Here’s how I did it: I took a step. Then another step. And then another step.
If I had gotten up that morning and said out loud, “I’m gonna run for over seven hours today”, I probably wouldn’t have done it. That’s insanely daunting.
