Pretty fucking brutal, a lot of it is genetic, different lactic acid thresholds and shit like that. Absolutely, punishing as fuck, can't imagine doing it, they get barely no money or recognition. Sadistic

No. This sport is the only one sport in which you can compensate lack of genetics with insane power of will. David gogins had fucking hole in heart. Most people can run maraton, in słow time, yes, but they can cover the distance. Problem is, they dont push their absolute 100% and they are not ready to die on that race.

People with insane cardio quit Becouse they cant stand those runs. Insane heat of Sahara? Run through jungle? All that shit is more mental than physical.

True. I am always running for the bus and after half the way my brain says stop but on some days it is important so I keep grinding through sheer will power

Onw quote was if you can't run anymore who only reached 40% of your capabilities

Cope, they did studies on endurance athletes they have naturally higher V02 max and lactate thresholds. Look at all the East Africans that dominate marathon running. Only people that aren't good enough for the Olympics in marathons do this ultra shit, it's just sadistic with no payoff imo.

40% rule. When i read gogins book, he was ripped muscular 6'1 guy who didnt run for like a 9 months and he run fucking 100 miles. he was dead at 70 miles. Shit himself, piss himself with blood but kept going. Thats insane

Thats what i mean. Ultra shit is better becouse of that, at least for me. ITs all about being fucking tough motherfucker. Special forces selections are made same way as ultras. Also no vo2max for bloody and painfull feet and ducttaped injured ancles

You can say that for every other work which demands you to put in your efforts for a prolonged period of time

yes but for most people, running 30 minutes is hell, imagine doing that for 30 hours...

Tour de France is probably my favourite sporting event besides the World Cup and Euros

in the olympics natural athleticism is still quite dominant though

yes, but shit like running through sahara, skiing through antarctica or races like badwater 135 in insane heat are more impresive for me

That's true. BTW, you can train your mind like them by just being mindful too
