Runners complete a 677 km race by doing a 6.7 km loop every hour for up to 60 minutes each. The first 48 hours are about shedding normal limits. The key is separating discomfort from real pain and using language to shape how you experience it.
Backout. Ultramarathon is a 6.7 kilometer loop, and you run one loop on the hour, every hour.
You've got 60 minutes to complete it. If you finish the loop in less than 60 minutes.
You get that time to eat, drink, sleep.
Do whatever you need to do.
However, you.
Need to be in the.
Corral to start the next hour. I see that first 10, 24, 48 hour period as the death of your mortal self. Like you turn up as a human.
And you, you.
Shed that mortality in the first 24 to 48 hours. I identify what you'd call pain more so as discomfort. True pain is unbearable. True pain is something that makes you stop what you're doing. What I tell my athletes is let your tongue be your rudder. And breaking that down, it's.
Whatever you think. And whatever you.
Speak becomes your reality. So choose the reality for yourself.
