Day 1 of the treadmill 7 day. Body feels exactly as expected. It hurts. No surprises there. First day is about beating the muscles into submission and letting them know the pain isn’t going anywhere. Struggling with sleep walking around the 60 mile mark. This wasn’t expected until about the 25 hour mark. First 50 miles were a bit fast and been doing a lot of walking on this back half. A continuous 7 day effort is tricky managing effort and balancing sleep. We are approaching strategy similar to a last man standing race. These first 24 hours are about getting the body into a rhythm. We will hit the 24 hour mark likely 5-10 miles behind 700 pace but 15-20 ahead of world record pace. Day 2 will be about fine tuning the walk/run for efficiency. Tap in bronxburnersrc and help us raise $700,000. Live stream and donation link in bio.
