Ultra distance runners: how did you go about running so bloody far in one go and how long did it take you to reach that level?
I would very much like to be able to run a bloody long way in one go but currently struggling with getting past 2k without Knee Death striking me down* so trying to get an idea of what's reasonable to expect from my feeble body.
* most frustrating having run through all weather in winter to not be able to run in the lovely sunshine.
Started prep in Feb, from base of 90 mins. Currently at 2h45 non stop runs, all day run/walk with breaks already possible. Will be debut race over 50miles by end Oct = 8 months prep, no intention of running whole distance though.
