I can get my head around running a long way for several consecutive days but it's the non stop nature and lack of sleep on things like the Spine that I just can't figure out how one survives, let alone those that thrives!
Deadwater has a full night's sleep between each day. Physical exhaustion is one thing but the mental effort required to keep going and hold it together on pretty much no sleep is what I don't think I could do.
But then I was never sure I could run 10k until I tried.
There is a chap who works at a local (kids) gymnastics place I spoke to ages ago who was running the Spine and we just happen to be heading there in a couple of weeks so I'll try to get some insider info!
