Strangers coming together to help a group of random people complete a random goal with no real meaning other than wanting to see if they could do it is exactly why I think humanity is really underrated. All it took was one small group to help then everyone else wants to as well. People as a whole are way more awesome than a lot of us give ourselves credit for.

@DrZaius3141 6 ай бұрын
When I was a kid (15 or so), I participated in a relay marathon. We were 5 people, all around that age and we swapped after every kilometer (obviously meaning that the two fastest runners would do 9 laps, one person does 8 laps and the final sprint, two people do 8 laps). The first three laps felt super easy to keep close to our regular times for a kilometer (3min flat) but I remember feeling close to death at the 9th with the times dropping accordingly. It's kinda funny how stamina works with those periods of recharging but it was still inevitably to break down eventually.

Great video man, I am a student in Leuven (Belgium) and there we have an annual event called the "24urenloop" where all different student groups compete to see who can run the furthest in 24 hours in a relay of 530m. I really think you'd love the atmosphere there. Can't wait for your next triathlon updates though, I have entered Challenge Almere on the 14th september so I'm gonna need your videos the comming months to keep me motivated.

A couple years ago, I did an event with my girlfriend and a bunch of my cross country friends from high school called Ragnar. The concept of the race is basically the same as this. You make a team of up to 12, pile into vans, and instead of running 26 miles its 200. Each person is assigned a number and runs three legs between 2.5 and 10 miles, so you can have more experienced runners take the brunt of the milage. It was a really amazing time! We finished in 28 hrs. I got no sleep the entire time and ran about 18 miles in that time. Highly recommend if there's a race in your area and you got a couple friends to do it with (no experience needed!)

I coach JD's (9-12 yo) athletes and we did something similar to this as a workout for running a fast 5km (had groups of 3 doing 200m legs (so 8/9 x 200m on about double rest) Was a fun way to do that workout. Way back in 2012 we did this similar challenge with our run crew ahead of watching the Olympic marathon on TV at a bar (had legs as short as 100m and as long as 800m based on runner speed)
