As an ultrarunner with an autoimmune disease, I do it because I know that my time is probably more limited than most. I want to get the most out of life and see what my body can take before I no longer have that luxury.

All the debate here around the negative health implications of ultra running are interesting. I'm no expert but my take is two fold: 1) I'll take the quality of life and health risks associated with being very active vs the health impacts of a sedentary lifestyle any day. 2) Physical health is only one aspect. I find myself mentally healthier and happier the more I run/train/race. For me that type of benefit outweighs any unproven physical risks.

@Super Durden The health risks of ultra marathon running are far from unproven. People literally pee black sledge during the races. If we were talking about marathon running, I would agree with you. But ultra marathon running is on a completely different level.
@carminedipasquale69325 жыл бұрын
Super Durden It’s a false dichotomy to weigh ultra running with a sedentary lifestyle, no one in their right mind would suggest doing nothing is better than someone running a 100 miles. I’ve ran my whole life - it never once crossed my mind to run more than 20 miles, ever. A hundred miles of running seems pretty novel, but it’s not the wisest thing to focus on long term. Long term ultra running is a solidified way to increase inflammation in the body.
@xpat734 жыл бұрын
why is it sedentary v ultra marathon type exercise? Those are two extremes. Ultra marathoners can do what they want. But the medical evidence is that it does do damage to your body. Running for 1 hour 3 to 4 times a week is probably healthier. But it's a free country.
@iorekby4 жыл бұрын
It's also worth noting that potentially fatal health risks surrounded by things like distance running only make the headlines because they are incredibly rare. The reason we don't read "10,000 people dropped dead today aged 55 because of massive heart attacks caused by a lifetime of eating crap and zero activity" is because its so incredibly common it's sadly not even newsworthy. This means that the health risks associated with things like long distance running get a more intense amount of publicity.

He is 100% right. I never ran as much as 20 miles. Most I ran was 8 miles, yet I could only run 5-6 miles on the track before wanting to quit. Having a trail is so much better mentally than a track. A track really plays games with your mind when you’re on a track, yet it’s easier to count down from the amount of rounds you need to do, which helps.

As a long distance runner, I feel that the folks I have run with, you have to have gone through some form of trauma and you use that fuel to do one of these runs. When I get asked this I always respond, if I can survive my traumatic childhood, running 50-200 mile races is no big deal. Does it hurt? Heck yeah but at least you know the race will end. Plus it gives you an insight into your character and who you are when you are stripped down.

Best thing about ultrarunning Ive found is the people. I always find interesting people to talk to, who've often travelled from across the world to be there. They're more chatty occasions than short distances. When I did a 24 hour race on a 1 mile loop, I was chatting to people most of the way round. Of course with ultras on trails you can end up on your own for hours so good playlists are important

I read about the race he talks about at 08:10 in The Rise of Ultrarunners by Adharanand Finn. It was in the late 1800s that six-day race contests were held at huge indoor tracks in London or Madison Square Garden (in NY). 6 days because it was the longest you could walk or run without encroaching on the Sabbath. This reached it's peak with the Astley Belt contests in 1878 when Sir John Astley sponsored 5 international events. Crowds of over 30,000 came out to support at Madison Square Garden. Prize money was $10,000 for the winner ($250,000 in today's money) and the winner (O Leary) ran over 520 miles over the 6 days (this was at the London event). The current 6-day world record is 664 miles (1984, Yiannis Kouros)

I love this thought. I'll add to this thought. There is nothing like running for several hours along a ridge of mountains overlooking fine scenery and taking it all in for 10-20-30+ miles and knowing that YOU obtained those views and that experience with your own two feet. Sure you could see the same sights in plane or helicopter or drone, is it the same really? I don't think so. You are right. You feel like an animal maybe and the natural world becomes exhilarating. It's literally an adventure that unless you have done it you don't know how ALIVE it makes you feel.

My wife was going for her 3rd attempt at Badwater 135 in Death Valley in July, then COVID hit and the race was cancelled. One year of training. What a let down. She's done about 170 miles in less than 3 days in Armenia and 178 miles in the Grand to Grand race over a 6 day stage race. It's insane what ultrarunners put their bodies through. And, apparently, many ultrarunners are recovering drug addicts who are looking for a new level to put their body through in terms of range of emotion. Imagine no sleep for 24-48 hours straight, constant running and eating. And in Death Valley it can get anywhere between 120 and 130 degrees.

You really need to do some research. As a runner I go on 10 mile runs and do speed workouts DESPITE the negative health effects. I would run longer, and I would run faster, but I care more about longevity. Maybe to you, running long distances is worth losing 10 years on your life, for me, I love it, but not more than my life. It's very bad on your heart to push your body so hard. It's recommended to not go more than 5-6 miles, and around 15 miles a week, beyond that and you are harming your body.
@chriskelley70973 жыл бұрын
By the way most educated runners (not you clearly), including this guy, are well aware of how bad ultra running is for their health. They do it in spite of the negative health effects. Watch enough interviews from these guys, and all of them admit it might be good for you mentally, but it's horrible for you physically in nearly every way possible.

The greatest ultra marathon runner of all time Yiannis Kouros didnt do any long training runs. I think he trained under 20 miles for training. He doesnt see that it is about how good a runner you are. He sees it as how strong you are mentally. Maybe that is why he was so good.

Having done 100 miles both on track and trails - he is so right about the difference! The mental piece is huge - on track you can (and should) distract yourself and become disconnected and go on auto-pilot, otherwise everything will hurt. On trails, you have to stay somewhat present and focused on footing otherwise you'll face plant - but it provides distraction from the pain and keeps you going. Personally, the monotony of track kills me, and I don't think I'll ever do that again...

3:53 so true, I used to get defeated by a quarter of a mile but then I joined the gym and worked out on my cardio. Then a quarter mile turned to half a mile, a mile 2, 3, 4, then 6, 7.5, 12.5 and my current p.r. is 20.5 miles non stop. When I was breaking my 12.5 mile p.r. at mile 16 I wanted to give up because my ankles we're killing me but then the pain went numb and I made it to 20 miles non stop. Now I want to train to run a marathon. 💯 I Want to be a pro boxer who wins running ironman marathons.

If you can run 20.5 nonstop then you could register for a 50k (30.1 mile) little babie ultramarathon and knock it out. Just pace yourself. It would be cool accomplishment for you.

I have run several 5-6+ hour trail runs, and one formal 36-mile trail ultramarathon. Only the elite run all of the courses. The middle-pack people like me walk (hike) all the uphills, and run only the flats and the downs. It is time on feet for most middle packers, not speed. It is never about speed. An average finish time of a 50-mile trail ultramarathon can be 14 minute miles.

Emeka Ezeagu Some do. Some just run it, but they run at a slower pace. I had a 10k time of just over 50 mins and 1/2 M of 1:59 but marathon was 4:51. I find it difficult to imagine anyone could maintain a nice fast 10k pace for 200 miles, or even 20.
