Just signed up for my first Ultra marathon

55km trail run (2000m of elevation

)

Can't wait to endure joy, happiness, pain, regret, more pain, why am I doing this, maybe some more joy at the end

And more pain at the end.

Keep us posted on your trainup Bas.

You're nuts

RW16610 · 14 January 2018, 04:27 AM

Nice challenge, Bas! Keep us posted

You've got the right attitude

AzPaul · 14 January 2018, 04:30 AM

Happy trail run to you Bas. That'll be quite the accomplishment.

bobernet · 14 January 2018, 04:31 AM

The only way I’m doing 55k on a trail is with this...

I'll pick you up at the airport if you ever want to really torture yourself - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badwater_Ultramarathon

Agree with bobernet. Only way I'm going that is on 2 or more likely 4 wheels

Good luck and enjoy!

brandrea · 14 January 2018, 05:11 AM

I can barely drive 55 Kms

Good luck Bas

Wesley Crusher · 14 January 2018, 05:24 AM

Awesome Bas and good luck! I’d probably die if I attempted something like that.

Gharddog03 · 14 January 2018, 05:29 AM

Laszlo · 14 January 2018, 05:34 AM

Then yes.

BristolCavendish · 14 January 2018, 06:06 AM

But is it safe to wear a Rolex while undertaking such an ordeal?

Is the first stop within 100m of the starting line? Are there refills?

If not I'm out.

SearChart · 14 January 2018, 06:16 AM

Cheers guys, pretty excited!
If I'm offline after March 24th I probably died

The fun thing is, I will be rewarded 3 qualification points for the prestigious Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc upon completion.

Thanks.
If I decide I like this ultra distance running, I mean marathons are fun & doable.. then I have a few on my list. Bigfoot 200 is one of them. Quite possibly the most insane of them all.

Umm, isn’t that like, “Congratulations! You’ve survived the flogging and earned qualification points toward crucifixion!”

I’m gonna pass, but respect your commitment!

Never, I will die halfway.

SearChart · 14 January 2018, 07:24 AM

A little less extreme: I have a 'fun run' coming up in the beginning of March, a half marathon on the Grand Prix circuit of Spa Francorchamps. Three laps on this magnificent track

with my two best friends.

Such a beautiful track! That will be fun run. Remember, try not to lift in eau rouge!

Never lift

PLNYC · 14 January 2018, 09:26 AM

Good luck, Bas!

milov · 14 January 2018, 09:50 AM

Good one Bas. You've been doing some significant training already, so you should have confidence from your training already in your legs. Get in as much hill training in as you can. Do your longest distance training runs 4 and 3 weeks before. 2 weeks before do steep up and down hill training runs. Then start your taper. And enjoy the ride.
