Why would anyone run 100 miles?

I don't know either, but I'm signed up. Split a bottle of Buffalo Trace with my worst friend on Saturday night, and woke up with a bib for the Zion 100 in April.

I know at least a couple of the lurkers here have done something this stupid. Tips?

 

no tips. but congrats! and good luck. don't pull a David Goggins and drink myoplex and pb crackers...

 

Goggins and I don't belong in the same thread. That dude is an alien.

 

Never drink Buffalo Trace again would be my advise.

 

Vaseline and Band-Aids on nipples. One full size up on shoes.

 

Time to kidnap yourself only to be miraculously released about 2hrs after this shit ends.

I suggest a craps table somewhere in Clark County.

 

I assume you somewhat know what you're doing. What is your nutrition of choice on long runs?

 

Hookers and blow.
I hope

 

Yeah, or at least smaller quantities.

 

Can't even fathom that. I'm not sure i've ever even run a mile let alone 100 of them.

 

My cousin's husband did one in September. He trains like crazy. I saw the other night he is closing in on 3000 miles this year.

 

Start your rigorous hydration routine NOW...

 

Wow a hundred miles?!? I run 2 to 3 times a week, done a shit load of 5Ks and gearing up for a half marathon in a couple of weeks. Like to be able to do a full at least once but not sure I got 26 miles in me. But a hundred? No way jose! My hats off to you guys and all the ultra marathoners. No clue how you do it.

 

And i thought my sister was crazy for doing the MS 150 benefit marathon (multiple sclerosis) from Houston to Austin on a bicycle.

100 miles on foot is insane, hats off to you man.

 

For a Klondike bar. Duh.

 

Say adios to your toenails.

 

Only two reasons I can think of is the wife/ girlfriend caught you doing something epic and she is chasing you on a combine or you got divorced last month, won powerball last week and your flight to Vegas was canceled and you’re really looking forward to hookers and blow.

 

That's usually what awaits you at the finish. I call it motivation.

 

That's nuts. I'm at 3500 for the bike this year and that's too much.

 

some of you may not recall, but JBraun also hiked some ungodly distance (a marathon? or longer) carrying a hundred lb backpack for a troops charity. i think the guy likes doing really stupid* endurance type shit



*really stupid to us normal people who like to drink beer and eat cheeseburgers after work


Edit- here ya go, Jbraun you a crazy fucker.
