Dave started a bit quicker then yesterday:
5E
It’s pretty much dead flat for a lot of this section past 3 valley gap, so easier to go faster. But. After the fatigue of yesterday you think he’d take it easy today? When you feel good, go easy, because you still have a hell of a long way to go.

I would consider a 10 min/mile pace easy for a runner like Dave.

Since he was averaging less than that and had to stop on day 5 (also flat), I guess you are saying he burnt out because he was just going too darn slow?
44 miles in and averaging a little over 11mins/mile. Is his plan to stay in Revelstoke tonight?

Not even. It looks like he's stopped at the three valley gap? Would he call it a day before 3pm and less than 50 miles? If he's doing 50 mile days his 66 day run just became 90 days.
46.7 miles today in 9 hours.
He is now 20 miles behind his target.

Derailed by a tourist trap?
It is not dead flat. Sicamous is 350m, Revelstoke is 500m. and Golden is 800m. I think once he is out of Glacier National Park and certainly into the Columbia River Gorge it will be at 800m so then flat. But then Lake Louise is at 1600m, then he start dropping to Canmore 1400m, Banff....and Calgary.....There are some rollers in there.

The place is a hell hole, but it’s an amazing story of a guy with a really bad business idea who had an incredible work ethic. He literally bought swamp land thinking he could turn it into something special. The only thing he was missing was somebody with better business sense telling him to invest his money and energy elsewhere. Still, as awful as the place is, it’s amazing what he did there. Would have been more amazing to see what he could have done with a good idea.
What time does he normally start in the morning? It's 7:30am now but I don't see him moving?

Yeah, i thought he was not starting and something was up as well but they just added his tracker and has been going since 5:30 (Pacific time)

another benefit after Banff could be the wind. It almost always blows from the west and can make a huge difference if he has that behind him.
Thanks.
Looking at Dave's current location compared with his schedule....is he a day behind already? He is supposed to finish today in Golden and is just now 22km into his day entering Revelstoke. Revelstoke to Golden is 150km so if he does ~100km today, he is 70km away from Golden.

After his 6th day, yesterday, Dave was 20 miles behind his schedule.

isn't it further? His route said he would end day 6 at Loop Brook Campground. That's 80km (50 miles) away from Three valley gap (where he actually ended). Looking at his prior days it didn't look like he was significantly off schedule unless the distances on his schedule weren't correct

There is no way he’s making Golden. He was in Revelstoke yesterday getting treatment from a PT. You would have to think he’s accepted his 108km a day schedule was overly optimistic. He couldn’t maintain that for 5 days, and he sure won’t be getting less tired every day as this run wears on. I just hope he grinds it out and finishes even if it does take him an extra month. That to me would be a better story than the record anyway.
Dave made a rookie mistake and ran too much on day 1. 88 miles I think.
This was on top of an overly optimistic schedule.
100k daily over one and a half month is a LOT. But it's the same story over and over again. Unless you have tried it yourself you think it's easy to do. But it's not.
Dave Proctor is not even close to the level of an Al Howie. But I am sure he has realized that by now.
I still hope he continues this run even if it will take him 86 days.

oh, I agree no way he will be in Golden today as that would be a 170km day but didn't realize he was that far behind. As i just posted...his schedule wasn't 108 everyday as some days on his schedule are 60-80km range as some over 120.
I was planning on joining him on his Golden to Lake Louise day but now that seems like it will be Thursday rather than tomorrow
