4x4x48

Anybody else doing the Goggins challenge this weekend?

First time for me. This'll be the first time I've run longer than a marathon.

I wonder if it'll be like TTT. For me, TTT was harder than just doing an IM from start to finish.

48 miles done.

Definitely easier than if I'd done a continuous 48.

I got into a dehydration hole this morning. Because of between run breaks, I could recover.

Thanks.

Correct. For a total of 48 miles.

This is my gateway event to doing a 50 miler.

I'm impressed. I feel like the sleep dep is what scares me most about this challenge. I suck at sleeping at the best of times and feeling pressure it get "some" sleep in the 3 hour window between runs would not be easy. Did you have a plan going in for sleep or just took it as it came?

I’d much rather do 48 continuous.

Let food be thy medicine...

Did it back in November for my 48th birthday. The hardest for me were the 4am and 8am runs. I was amazed at how machine-like things became. Once moving, I locked into a rhythm that was metronome-like. For me, this challenge did not compare at all to a marathon or the 50Ks I've done. The running was much easier and my legs did not get trashed like they do for long runs/races. Making myself get out the door and get moving was what was hard for me.
