36k of vert in 6 days is insane. I've done 55k of vert so far this year and it's felt like a lot and has included training for and completing a sky race.
I had a great day running the Squamish 50k over here in BC on Sunday. It's a brilliant trail run with a little over 2100m vert in the route. I finished 10th male, in 6hrs 5 mins which I'm really chuffed with.
But on the point of some people being built different, I was passed around halfway by the person that had won the 50miler the day before (there's a 50miler on the Saturday and 50k on the Sunday, and really mad people do both). It's just astonishing to me that someone that had run 50 miles the day before could run 50k over 15 minutes quicker than me!
