My dad didn't know what I was doing until about 2pm. He got mad at me for going in and out the door all night. The two Rottweilers at the corner of 51st street and St Francis Ave barked at me the first few times they saw me, but after that they just stared in respect.

Having seen many of Ian's previous postings all the way back to his high school wrestling/running days, I would have to say that this pointless single day exercise fits his personality perfectly. The postings rang true from the very first one.
To quote a movie line to describe the 24 hour quest:
"Homeric."
Will this be like the women 3,000m WR or men 5,000m WR videos? Will we be looking in vain for the video proof of this feat on youtube for > than 10 years?
I'm calling doping... how can we know this guy is legit... USADA does not even regulate these types of events...
I can't tell you how pleased I am to return to this thread this morning to read of the victorious run. Nice job!
Truly entertaining. The greatest effort since the Big Mac 10k.
When does the movie come out?
Nice job Ian--
Love it, happy new year!
This thread is awesome. Happy new year.
Great work Ian, this was something I told all my friends about.
Anyone wanna guess how long he sleeps for?
Considering he ran 48 miles AND was awake for 40 consecutive hours; I will say 14 hours. It would be longer but I've got a feeling based off of yesterday's course of events that the gf will wake him up around 3pm to drive him to work.
Great job, Ian! You proved me wrong!
Ian, how are you feeling today?
Next day update:
As expected my legs are really sore, but other than that I feel great. I actually didn't get to sleep very long. Had to take my girlfriend to work at 9:40am. And then I was too hungry to go back to sleep. I was going to take today off and start fresh in 2013, but my friend told me to come run 4 slow with him. And we did. 9:20 pace. And it hurt.
Glad to hear that you're still ticking, brother. Listen to your body until the soreness goes away - don't do anything stupid.
Couldn't that same friend run a few of those 2 miles with you yesterday(for support)?
find a brain
fernando wabbit dirt tracks proper pacing - ambled at back - still ~62 at 1100m
lopes - coe/cruz 1'41.7 in current tracks back bla bla
little difference to them!!!!!
& that's not by much
can't cry about roads
the talent pool & going to ditances!!!
he had no speed, likely no better than 54 open 400 yielding prelim line of fit at his prime in that
54.0 / 1'52.9 ->
3'40.1
7'38.5
13'06.6
27'14.5
that can frighten anyone today

well congrats however and I apologize if I missed a post pointing out the obvious................
WALKING 48 MILES IN 24 HOURS WOULD BE EASY
walk 24 miles in 8 hours with breaks
sleep for 8 hours
walk 24 miles in 8 hours with breaks
