I did it!! I finished the 4x4x48 challenge (4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours). I actually ran a few extra miles. 52 miles completed in total. To be honest I thought this challenge would be easier. How hard can 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours be?š¤£. The hard thing about this challenge is the stopping and starting, the very little sleep and the early morning runs. The two 1am runs were rough. .
I did a combination of treadmill and outdoor due to social distancing. When I ran outside I ran up and down my street so I wasn't near anyone. 1am and 5am was easy because everyone was sleeping so I had no issue with social distancingš¤£. The last round I had to walk, because my stump was swollen and I couldn't put my blade onš¤¦āāļø .
My stump definitely didn't like the stopping and starting and it's still a little swollen and bruised, but all good. It should recover quickly. I definitely think running a 50 miler in one go is much easier, hahaha. This was definitely great mental training ...
