“You mean running 100 miles…all at once? Do you you get to eat? Do you ever sleep?” they’ll question, as they still can’t actually comprehend the idea of traveling that far by foot (my favorite response, they’ll say “I don’t even drive that far!”), never mind while running.
Mention the idea of running a 100 mile ultra marathon to a non runner, and they will likely react with a look of disbelief. But don’t worry: walking during an ultramarathon is quite normal – you’ll even see the elites power walking up some steep and gnarly hills.īut for whatever reason, not a lot of people seem to know that. The longer the distance, the more you’re going to walk. Here’s a bit of a reality check for new (or non) ultra runners: you’re likely going to walk during your ultramarathon.
