"don't try this at home" yeah... My living room is slightly smaller than the velodrome so don't worry.
Look at this fancy man with a home
You can do it at home with a cyclette
RedHunter or better yet a turbo trainer
You could find the closest velodrome and start training... just saying
you are a lucky one
:-)
Having seen this, I'm now working on my first none-stop 24 minute attempt
I will be watching your career with great interest.
just dont crash it will be devastation for the average pace !
24 k in 24 min
Excellent...I bet it would be very difficult.
That's no small accomplishment my dude. Everyone starts somewhere 🤷♂️ fuckem if they laugh.
But If this comment is /s then r/whoosh
I don't think I could sit in the same chair for 24 hours.
I can barely sit in my chair at work for 8 hours straight
@@christianhammon4024 I got a DxRacer and I could sit there 24/7 and even sleep on it xD

It's all about the saddle in the bike. If it conclaves like the flex and if the foam is hard or soft to your buttocks is the best bc the ass will be comfortable
My ass would go completely numb lmao
"Dont try this at home" smh yeah lemme just grab my 10k areo bike and ride around my kitchen island real quick

The crazy thing is about a month after this video this GCN presenter guy did another ultra endurance video where he rode 300 miles in 25 hours following the original 1903 tour de France route on an old bike. Amazing stuff randonneuring.

@@Bartooc yeah just the wheels cost 10k probably lmao
For anyone interested, the 24h record for running is 303 km by Yannis Kouros
Sub 5 min/km for 24 hours is insanity!
There are some good RUclips videos of him...amazing
Amazing
Oww... That makes me hurt just thinking about it!
Wait, what? That's nearly 7 marathon distances in 24 hours? I had to google that, it's hard to believe. That's absolute insanity.
In an age where we only usually see polished success stories it's great to see how truly difficult something like this is, best of luck to him and hope he comes back stronger
This ☝️
Absolutely totally 100% agree
Very well said
Couldn't agree more & thanks for the kind words of encouragement William.
except we didnt get to see any because the camera team decided to leave twice .... in 27 hours. i have partied longer than that. jesus christ GCN

Madness. I almost died of boredom after a few 9 hour days cycling in the Aussie outback. This must be torture.
I was cycling for a 12 hours in the summer here in Russia. It wasn't fast but I went to some places I've never been before: villages and countryside. I wasn't bored and had a nice ride with a cool scenery.
@@TheMrPalich But your scenery changed, not like in the outback where there is nothing or the velodrome which is always the same for 24 hours
Where did you ride in the Outback? I did a loop of Australia last year on a fixed gear. Apparently 4th person to ever do it - the previous 3 being about 100 years ago lol...
@@josephxkendrick Up the west coast on the dirts roads, then inland through Tom Price and Karijini. Not the 'true' central outback, but that seemed to be what the locals called it anyway because it's a desert biome. Your trip sounds awesome, can't imagine it on a fixie!
@@mpepp9 So like Perth to Karratha or Broome? Sounds like an awesome trip! Anywhere out of Perth or away from the east coast is the 'true' Outback really. WA had the biggest gap between roadhouses for me on the highway (293km). I just stuck to highways, basically following the Route 1 loop and doing the IPWR backpacking race on the way. I'm craving to go back with a more capable bike and hitting the dirt tracks!!!
"Don't try this at home"...Aw man, then what do I do with this velodrome I just had installed?
Matt
Rollerblade on it .why not ? never seen anyone else do it
Kai H idiot, he’s joking, no one happens to have a velodrome just sat in their garden u spoon
@@imcontemptwithlife4155 r/whooooooosh
@@imcontemptwithlife4155 You're the idiot here if you didn't get the irony of his comment
Mini 4WD betting tournaments. You're welcome.
Riding around a velodrome for that length of time is an extraordinary mental feat. The degree of sensory deprivation resulting from seeing the same featureless, unchanging landscape thousands of times can drive even the most disciplined athletes insane. I understand why an indoor velodrome presents ideal physical conditions in some respects, but it must be the absolute worst place for an extremely time intensive effort. I would wager that an outdoor cycle park road coarse of maybe 5-10km with unique features, flowing curves and even a bit of gradient change would be much better for the mind. In any case, I'm very impressed by this man and by the team that supported him.
Brian Messemer the headset and communication is vital
Great point.
I would agrees... 24 Hours of Lemans but on a bicycle
The mind is not the problem, the body wants to fail when in extremes. The mind will want it more than the body, the body has to be dragged along to keep up with the minds idea. I have discovered my own mind to be powerful enough to destroy my body...which I did in RAAM....my body never recovered from that race. I finished, but the body was destroyed by my mind.
@@glenspringle7337 I agree, however, I'd suggest the Nürburgring as a venue
I can't imagine how much that cost. The team, renting the velodrome, all the materials... Wow
I recently retired, 61 years old and started cycling again after around 20 years, I am inspired, well done James. Your final comment regarding putting your mind to it and learning what can be done, even if you did not achieve what you set out to, shows massive inner strength and guts. I for one am going to give it more, on every ride and know that there is still more in the tank, even if I think there is not!
Thank you, thats so amazing to hear. Keep on riding, hope I still can at 61. Chapeau Sir.
anychance I have your bike? haha im just desperate enough to be a pro cyclist too but budget doesnt get too well here in philippines 😅
Even if he doesn't break any record, he's still a legend
No
@@user-tf3in5vn6i you should try cycling for 5 hours
@@MrOliver1312 I ride 5 hour rides for fun.
Spoiler
He may not have broken any records but this guy definitely a winner.
Is he though? It seems a bit sad to be honest like an untreated addiction or mental illness. This isnt smart or advisable.
Amazing. I once did 480Km in 24 hours on open roads and that was fun. Then I did 550Km on a closed 3Km race course with some significant corners where you have to brake and can stand on the pedals out of corners and doing almost 200 laps was boring, then I did half ironman and doing 90Km mostly in aTT position was not easy. I cannot imagine doing 3000 laps at a constant speed in TT position (without even talking about the Watts required) for that amount of time even if the bike and velodrome can make you go 5 to 10 Km faster with the same wattage being in that position for 24 hours at constant speed is mind-boggling....
weird flex but ok
This reads like a typical fake story bro
@@BichaelStevens Why does it sound fake?
www.pentek-timing.at/results/2004/1154-04.htm
Search for the guy placed on rank 18, 45 years old at that time, over weighed and under trained, riding an Italian steel frame and still doing 600k.
"Dont try this at home"
Dang it, there go my plans for today
Bruh averaging 40k/h for 24 hrs.
Mad shit
Did my first 100k bike ride yesterday, not a seasoned rider by any chance but this video has given inspiration for me to push even harder and try for a century.
Paul Simpson your first century.... will make you want to give up cycling
@@HeathyRoidz maybe 😂😂
Same! Have only done 104 km without stopping, and another ride of 127 km with stops.
Just out of curiosity, what happened to be your average speed?
@@sth6027 mine was with stops, and I averaged 25kph not very fast I know but only got my first ever road bike less than a month ago.
Well done @paul. Hopefully the cycling bug will have truly bitten you.
Most importantly though did you enjoy it :)?
They need to get a stripper to dance a bit to get the random vibes going for James.
Lol
Hahaha
He needs some Thai strippers covered in durian
😂
Unbelievable
11 meters per second; 40km/h average; 23 seconds per lap.
My average is only 15.5 km/h😓😢😢😢
@@seanandrews4916 depends on the bike used as well i suppose.
Heroic effort, to crash and go for another record, hard as nails and hope you guys get the record
Colin Thompson he gave up you dumbass
15:00, dumbass.
Maybe he'll get the record in a future attempt.
David Shelly you're the dumbass, he never said he didn't give up. He was praising him for getting on after the crash and going for another record.
Im not a road or track cyclist but I love that you folk at GCN covered this, great content that grabbed the attention of this mountain biker
Thanks Te, hope you're enjoying the videos over at @global mountain bike network?
@@gcn GMBN is my go to channel, but every now and again something tempts me over to this side for a while
Average just under 25mph for 24h?... man I need to train more. I can’t even do that for a 10 mi TT 😭😭
I feel you mate. Exact same thought ran through my mind.
Even worst, I cant even do 40km/h..unless downhill..if I m not mistaken he's doing smwhere 88hbpm at 40km/h for that long, how the heck he do that..?
@@ericasmithson6522 his heart rate is 88 during the entire effort?
@@ericasmithson6522 yeah but his bike is the prize of a nice car so its easier because of air dynamics and weight

his bike makes it so much easier to have such a high velocity with so little power
Fantastic team, awesome effort. Love this video. Well done all! 👏🏻
The boredom of going around a track hundreds of times would get to me!
alphaess1 hundreds....??
@@HeathyRoidz Well ok, he did over a thousand but you get my point 🙂
alphaess1 yep 😂😂😂 I just wanted to be the guy who crushed your comment 😂😂😂
Just the mental strength to accomplish this is impressive. I need variety on my rides.
yeah, that's the one thing holding ya back.
I do love the idea that he's not a professional athlete and does this while working a 9-5. A 24 hour physical activity of any sort is brutal, but at world record pace is incredible. I've done 12 hours running and was a broken shell afterwards.
P
12 hours running? Can you elaborate? I just don't wanna feel bad about me running for 30 minutes
To be fair, he works for Cisco who is also sponsoring the event. He might get some days off for training.

@@markmccall6273 Lots of ultracyclists like Ensure Plus, which is technically old people food. Anything ultra simple to eat and digest is a huge benefit. Like a big ham sandwich can be delicious but it's also an added physical challenge when you're near the limit.

I came across this while watching mountain bike videos. This was amazing, the amount of work, people involved and technology.
Great video, and great try, even after crashing he kept going.
Thanks Patricio, welcome to the channel :)
nothing helps you get into the zone like a reporter asking you questions about how you are feeling
Good that you mentioned the toilet problem. I was wondering exactly how it was going to work.
Charles Terront used to piss in a inner tube and then drop it on the side of the velodrome
I was thinking of perfect fluid intake, where all water turns to sweat.
0:28 "Don't try this at home"
Me who was thinking to travell 950 km at home.
He just gave me a boost in life. I mean, he's older than I am and he was able to ride for that long even after he crashed. Big ups to him and his team. Thank you and I hope one day you'll attempt it again. You opened up a world of different possibilities to many.
Thanks, glad it was helpful. Age is just a number and yes you can make lots of progress with hard work. Never let anyone tell you differently.
Thank you GCN, it's good to see the unsung heroes in action. No matter what, James is a tough cyclist. Hope you will capture his next and successful attempt.
He had to drop bmx for road bikes, thats takes strength right there
I can’t even stay awake for 24/hr let alone being on a cycle
for an attempt like this, the cyclist should hire a DJ to get some music pumping in the velodrome building. the support team can communicate the bpm/cadence required based upon telemetry, and "eye of the tiger" can be reserved for special moments when a sprint is required
I love 12 hour racing and I’ve done well in many races but I’ve also failed miserably in just as many. Every race or effort of this duration is filled with drama, small failures, small wins, and yes emotion. Hats off to this guy.
There is one important factor they missed out on : a sport psychologist too work on his mental side of the performance.
How does the mind overcome something as arduous and physically severe as this? I compare this to the Breaking 2 / 1.59 projects, and hear about how Eliud Kipchoge can compartmentalize the pain in his mind, and wonder can normal mortals do this?
@@moonootoo First of all I believe that every mortal human being is capable of achieving "exceptional" things. That said, I don't think a lot are willing to put themselves through this kind of agony.
Your comparison with the B2 project and the way Kipchoge runs his long distance race by judging it as short distances in sequence is a great way of comparing these kind of feeds. The only real difference is time, even though 2 hours of running at 21kph is tough it is nothing compared to driving 39kph with a bike.. For 24hours!
The athlete in this video is an extreme cyclist who does long distances so I think he deemed himself worthy for this prjocet. The only thing he did not keep in mind is surroundings. There's a huge difference between driving through massive landscapes or riding circles and seeing the same building over and over. Once again I really believe that they did not put enough effort in looking at the mental side, I really feel like the athlete should almost put himself in a state where he is addicted to the idea of achieving this new record.
Lastly I still think his performance deserves a clap of hands because whatever the reason for him to stop the project, he still drove around 12 hours!!
@@Spirit_Matters.Arthur Great response and thanks. I am particularly intrigued by the athletes who do ultra events and how their minds overcome and endures the pain. In high level marathons someone once described the mental strain as putting your hands in a fire together with the other competitors and seeing who will withdraw their hand first!
I agree, surely he shouldn’t least be able to listen to music, e-books, the radio, etc. But I also wonder if there might not be a way for him to watch movies on the straights, or something, without losing focus on what he’s doing. Or there should be away for him to receive messages from fans around the world and have conversations.
Did my 1st (in 15 yrs) 170kms ride last Nov 2, 2019 from Gold’s Gym New Manila to Alfonso, Cavite. This record attempt is so inspiring. I couldn’t have imagined the mental and physical feat. Awesome job, team! 🚴🏻♂️❤️
I don't even cycle and I was completely mesmerized. I will definitely pay more attention to the velodrome races at the Olympics! Excellent video.
Brilliant variation on the weekly content.. Nice one Hank 👍 more track please!!

This video has inspired me to commute to work every day by bike, no matter what the weather ... from now on, it means every working day is a cycling day.
It's only 17km a day, but it's still a huge challenge for me.
Do that for a month, you'll see some changes.
Kroent that's fantastic new, I used to love my commute into work but it's way too far now. Great way to get fit, improve mental state and save money 👍
Watching this attempt is quite challenge...but u did it ,u the man.
My longest ride is 53.96 miles. I don't think I will be trying something like this anytime soon. Props to this fellow for making the attempt!
Like he said, it's all about pacing. If you could lower your speed a little, you'll easily do a 100K. I ride my cheap MTB on tarmac every Sunday. Went from 10K to 100K in a matter of weeks. I constantly try to keep my pace low, 18-20 km/hour.

Another proof what a badass Christoph Strasser is to set this record.
But big respect to James for trying. Takes a lot of balls to prepare and go for it.
cycling is the easy part , holding your pee for so long is the actual challenge lol.
when he gets farts he can use them as kinda jet engine
@@xdeville1 insert epic bruh moment here
He didn't have to hold the pee. In fact, he had no pee at all. During exercise, the human body sweats a lot, which replaces the need to pee.
@@bithundr good point
What about taking a shit
Me and 6 other guys (+ a support crew in a car handing out supplies) did 24H and 525 km in one go last year. It was a fantastic ride through the night and into daylight. Just planing and taking on 950 km in 24h deserves a huge amount of respect.
James is a beast! He will get that record some day. I'm definitely inspired to see how long I can just stay on the KICKR this week. Great doc as always, guys.
Well done, Thanks GCN for covering it so well
Good luck James. Hope you come back stronger soon.

Massive kudos to James MacDonald for trying something amazing! He is an inspiration to us amateurs with day jobs to attempt something that seems to be beyond our ability (with causing bodily harm, of course!).
Maarten van der wijeden , from holland ( where i live) just completed a 200 kilometor swimming route in one go, he swam 76 hours long.
Kijk daar zijn wij de echte pros in HUP HOLLAND
As a compatriot of Christoph Strasser I'm now even more proud of what he achieved...these two competitors remind me of Boardman vs Obree, smashing each others records and pushing the limit further ... hope to see the next attempt on GCN again
What a mammoth, monstrosity of an insane effort! Well done for the attempt! Respect for giving it a go and for contributing towards improving the over pool of cycling knowledge. Will be looking out for your second attempt! 🎉🎉🎉
Hank, your best vid yet!!! Thank you......you did miss the two pivotal moments tho!!!
Props to this guy, great effort and come back stronger
Take risk or lose the chance.
my quote in life.
Great vieo, great attempt. And even greater he does this while doing a 9-5 job! More success next time!!
Dude I can hardly plan a 10 mile ride on top of having a job
This inspired me to stay at Olympic distance triathlon. Some challenges have to be left to the pros. What a great athlete!
The sticker adds 50 horsepower
Bravo ! Amazing effort and determination.
Absolute bad ass. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Big Respect to James, to even attempt it is a big accomplishment and even when he crashed he kept going. What A Man! I'm sure he'll be back!
This fascinating! Congratulations to the whole team.
I once participated in a 24-hour amateur car endurance race using a Mazda Miata (MX5) and I thought that was one of the hardest things I ever did and we had 3 drivers to split up the drive. Just keeping awake the whole time was hard and the none stop noise of cars made impossible to sleep. I can't imagine doing what he is doing.
Brilliant video hank!!
So inspirational Mister MacDonald, keep going
I did my first 1 km cycling, it was tough I thank my coach, my mommy and daddy for their support.
🎉
Bravo to James for the attempt!
I can barely ride a 40km TT @34kph without mentally anguish the last 5km, youre a champ in my eyes
Heroic effort. Broke my heart.
Really great job by hank. Top drawer presenting. Well done.
Man, that's just heartbreaking to see James' attempt derailed by a small twist of fate. Hands on your back for attempt #2, good sir.
Absolute winner, well done!
Why the f**k there is always someone to dislike a video like this???? That was an amazing video, cheers James, hope you try it again, next time you'll make it and hopefully the whole attempt will be broadcasted live via RUclips!
I feel for him and the rest involved.
To bad...
But great to see it here at GCN.
Grate effort m8, you'll get it next time!
Man, I can only imagine what he went through. I biked 34mi yesterday on my fixed gear and that kicked my butt. Before the longest I had done was 15mi. I have so much respect for athletes like James.
Wow. Still a congrats for him! Hoping for a big come back and achieve that record! Still a 🔥🔥🔥 for trying
Even though he didn't succeed it's still great to watch and see everything that goes into these records! This is the real world and failing is perfectly exceptable we are only human!
kudos for even attempting the challange!!
Finally, a realistic video where we see what actually goes behind these absolutely crazy human achievements and that things may not go the way they are planned. Thanks for showing us that even the finest are not perfect in their first attempts. I am sure he will break the record one day. He is an absolute beast
Thanks, yeah the reality is often glossed over which makes people think record attempts are easier than they are. We learned a lot on attempt number 1.
That's absolutely insane
About 40 km/h for 24 hours what
I'm proud when I manage to do that for ten minutes straight
His bike and lack of drag help A LOOOOOOT.
I can’t feel his pain, that’s a torturous endeavour. I did a brutish cycling challenge for June to complete 1,250KM and the last 8 days of the challenge, I had to do 50 miles per day. May be I can take on the challenge to ride for 24 hours but absolutely not at that pace. I really appreciated the guy who hold the record. He is a monster.
Amazing ! Great effort...
WOW that was beyond insane fair play mate
Great story. He’ll be back. What an astonishing effort.
"Take the risk or lose the chance"...that's perfect! This is a man with a "day job", making the choice to get in the game. If can't succeed if you never try. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Thanks Kathy, glad you enjoyed it!
