Thunder Run 24hr (Read 380 times)

    Anyone else looked at this, it gets a great write up in Oct or Nov 09 Runners World Magazine. I am quite interested as would give me the chance to go for 100miles as a Solo entry. Think this years event is 31st July / 1st August.

     

    Any thoughts?

    2011 Goals - Run 2 x 100+ mile races (16+17/04/11 London Mara x 4 - 22hrs8mins)

    5K: Sub 19 (24/07/11 - Bushy Park 18:55)

    10K: Sub 41 (19/03/11 40:50 - 2nd 10k of below race)

    Half Mara: Sub 1:32 (19/03/11 Dorney Lake 1:26.50)

    Mara: Sub 3:15 (on a road course)

      Running for 24hr is stupid.

       

      What was the secret, they wanted to know; in a thousand different ways they wanted to know The Secret. And not one of them was prepared, truly prepared to believe that it had not so much to do with chemicals and zippy mental tricks as with that most unprofound and sometimes heart-rending process of removing, molecule by molecule, the very tough rubber that comprised the bottoms of his training shoes. The Trial of Miles; Miles of Trials

        Running for 24hr is stupid.

          Wow...I have just fallen in love...I'll do it if #73 is doing again

           

           

           I have seen this before and it was mentioned at my club but a few of them poo pooed it but that is because they were thinking of doing it as a big relay team. As for a one off for a 100 miles it looks a good challenge (and seems simple to get in)

           

          The only thing that is putting me off on this is that it has a "macho man" feel to it and I hate all that stuff us ultra runners have humility donchaknow
