I think if you add the 3 to 4 inches of vertical bounce in each of his strides, he'll easily break the record. Is he trying to get the 24 hour record for bounding?

Anyone who can run on a treadmill for 24 hours needs psychiatric evaluation. I can't run on one of those for 24 minutes without going bananas.
I've done an hour and a half, finishing up at 11mph (the max. speed, roughly 5:27.27 pace) and a huge 15.0 incline, and felt like I could do it again.
Then I killed my wife of thirty years to dance in her entrails while sodomizing a goat.

The sport is hurting itself because it's "star" athletes have no personality (and the ones that do get bashed for being "cocky" or "flamboyant"), track meets are boring as hell, and USATF sucks at marketing.
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Are these runners with alleged personality who get "bashed" for being cocky or flamboyant (ones like Jon Drummond or Gabe Jennings or Fernie Cabada or Fam) marketed enough to be recognizable to even 10% of the general public? Nope, not a chance. What's Tiger Woods's "personality" that he's marketed out the wazoo and is helping to make PGA broadcasts a success? He doesn't do or say anything crazy or outspoken, all he does is win. The reason for USATF's woes is failure to better market their winners, the sprinters. It doesn't matter whether or not they have personality if they don't win (or if they do win).
In his defense...who here has or can run for 24 hours straight?

It took him 10:08 between miles 99 and 100.
He won't get the record unless the rest of his miles are below 9:00 pace.
my only problem with the thing is the promotion of Dean K as America's best runner. if they changed it to America's best jogger i would be fine with it.
100 miles after 15 hrs, 57min, 13sec of running. According to my calculations, he's on pace to run 150.4361 miles. I'd be hurting right now if I attempted this. Actually, I would have been hurting for about 11 or 12 hours now.
It also took him 58:46 to run 95-100.
what happpened to him? that lady is still running strong.
He's having some issues for sure. Should have tried to neg split!
Fact is, USATF isn't being played live in Time Square. Dean is. USATF should then hire Dean as their Marketing guy.

Somewhere in Chile, a huge sigh was heard. Erwin Valdebenito knows he doesn't have to do this again to reclaim his record.
No running for several minutes....on target for a sub-150 mile effort. Looked like he was getting a massage or treatment. I see a DNF in his future.
Dean K is the top story on the RW website.

I think I can, and I'll find out come late summer.
he is back, but is walking
poke him with a fork!
That little break at 100 miles caused his average pace to drop from 9:34 to 9:40. Again the record pace is 9:21.
Can you really say he is running the whole 24 hours. He is stopping and walking alot.
