Running every day vs. running 24 hours straight.

Rob and I were having a conversation about his 24 hour run this coming weekend. I told him that I could never run 24 hours straight. After running 26 miles, I am pretty tired. I cannot image reaching the 26 mile mark of a race and saying to myself – “you are a quarter of the way done, just 75 more miles to go”.

Of course, his response was that “he couldn’t run every day”. I definitely understand what he was saying. Running every day is difficult but at least I have roughly 21 to 23 hours to recover between most runs.

I guess we each pick our poison. With the bottom line being we are all happy.

Sharing one thought at time,
