It's a hard challenge to do here in Brazil. Not for the physical challenge. If you run with your phone in hand late at night, you will finish without it.
That's a whole different challenge entirely! It may be hard to hit 4-miles but I've done a few mile challenges just running small circles in my back yard. That would certainly add to the mental challenge
lmao at 11:00 - "I'm looking forward to you taking a shower" "I definitely won't... this time, I will next time"
The shower situation was really tough to navigate lol. I didn't want to shower every 4 hours but also I was disgusting.
Just got done doing my challenge and I’m so proud of myself, now my body is all beat up but it’s a good feeling lol, I’m glad I did it and didn’t quit and can’t wait for next year, good job on doing it yourself, keep killing it!
Way to go 💪 The soreness and the stiffness afterwards is just a great reminder of what you accomplished!
@@iRunOnBeer exactly! The pain of regret hurts more than the pain of discipline
AMAZING! Stay hard, brother.
Shout out to mom for coming in clutch, good stuff man!
It was a game changer for the 4am graveyard shift! Thanks man
Impressive time, great effort, I'm looking forward to doing the one coming up in two weeks.
Thanks, and good luck! You're going to have a blast. Enjoy the struggle!
That's a real beast of a work out. Will have to try that soon. Damn well done.
Thanks man, I definitely remember trying it. It's a grind but you feel great after it's over
I'd not heard of this challenge before. Well done on completing it 👍🏃
Thanks! It's a great challenge for sure. The 48hr grind is pretty rough
Great inspiration. Starting my first challenge tomorrow. Bring it!
Hell Yea! Good luck! Be sure to check back in to let me know how it goes!
@@iRunOnBeerFinished #12 with midnight run and learned so much during this time.
I was ready to grind through alone. Thankfully I had a friend willing to do the daytime segments with me. Support is important, so I would recommend checking in with friends or family as you go.
By far the 8pm, 12 am runs were the hardest to get motivated for. It’s all about putting out the shoes and getting ready about 15-20 mins beforehand so I wouldn’t lose the will. I did have to start walking a bit more towards the end, but got the job done. My goal was to stay around 40 mins per session.
Really appreciate you documenting your process. Got me mentally prepared with a positive mindset.
@@Stevo79er Way to go! Every time I do it, I learn so much along the way. I couldn't agree more about the motivation, it's tough to find on those night runs, especially when everyone else is asleep. But it feels awesome checking off each and every run along the way.
I think you need to change too “I run on weed!”😂
Awesome! I need to try this! Also ... I could never have that donut picture in my kitchen -- I'd think of donuts ALL the time!
It is definitely incredibly temping, and it used to hang directly over the coffee maker which was even tougher to ignore!
God damn your pace for the last run is incredible. I run 4 and a half miles 5 days a week for about the past year and my best average pace is like 8: 40. I have gotten some 8 minute miles this week so I'm gonna keep pushing and think about how easy you made this look! Congrats!
Thanks man! In fairness, I also ran this when I was at peak fitness after training for my first ultramarathon. Once you have a solid base (which it sounds like you have), starting to add in longer runs once or twice a week can really help improve speed on shorter runs 🏃
@@iRunOnBeer thank you for the advice!
@@sb2687 No worries! Hope it helps 👍
Goggins will love this. This is the reason he lives for. Keep it up brother
Thanks man! I'm already thinking about when I'll try to tackle it in 2021. I'm itching for a new challenge!
@@iRunOnBeer hey bud, how much do u run before u attempted this? Are u a 3 times a week runner?
@@richiem7716 My running varries a lot depending on what I'm training for and I believe this fell in the middle of 5k training so my mileage wasn't too crazy. I would say I average 4-5 days running each week and 25-35 miles is my average per week
You killed it!
Thanks, I had a blast! Looking forward to the next time
Nice job 👏
Thanks! It's a great challenge.
Finished it this weekend.did 49 miles and 7050ft elevation in 8 hours and 11 minutes. Well done mate because it is a difficult challenge more because the lack of sleep and not taking in too much food..great video as well 👊👊👍stay hard at all times
Hell yea, way to go! That's some crazy elevation over 50-miles.
Thanks mate,i live in Plymouth England and I’m surrounded by good hills,I’ve been boxing since i was 24 years old I’m now 45 and still training 4-5 days a week,the runs were fine but trying to sleep after the night runs was what i found difficult.but well done to you on competing this challenge 👊👊👍
I’m a little late to the party with this video lol, but thank you for all the insight! Im doing it this weekend in CO and appreciate all the tips. Stay hard! 😉
Good luck! Can't wait to hear how it goes! 💪
Pretty cool challenge, the last lap was fast.
It's a lot of fun. Of course that's easier to say now that it's over haha. I was definitely motivated to get through that last lap fast so I could be done!
Nice work on the Goggins challenge! Having finished it, is there anything you would have done differently to prepare? Any plans to do the 24 hour challenge (1 mile on the hour for 24 hours)?
I'm definitely intrigued by the 24-hr challenge. It sounds easier just because you don't have to worry as much about sleep, but the shorter intervals to eat would be so rough. If I had to go back, I probably would have pre-scheduled meals and I definitely would have tried to start napping earlier in the first day. The first overnight was rough because I didn't take my first nap until after midnight. Luckily my wife was an AWESOME crew chief and took care of most of my meals.
Kudos for doing this, it's an accomplishment to be proud of.
One thing I think that would make this easier would be to wake up and start this at 4 or 5 am on the first day instead of waiting til Noon like you did. I figure it would help the sleep schedule better. Thoughts?
Thanks! Yeah, sleep was definitely the hardest piece to navigate. I do think starting with an overnight would probably be easiest. My main reason for choosing the time I did was so I had all day afterwards to recover before work lol. And also to eat as much as possible.
I'm going to do this in a couple of weeks. My running's not great at the moment, so I'm doing it on my Concept2 rowing machine. Each leg will be around 30 minutes if I take it easy. I can usually fall asleep quite easily, so should be able to get a couple of hours between each leg at night. It's all indoors, so I need to get out a bit for some sunlight during the day.
Some walks during the day will be a nice way to break up the monotony and keep you busy during the down time! Good luck 💪
@@iRunOnBeer I'm thinking that I should replace the sessions when it's light outside with a 4 mile walk. I'm in Scotland, so at the moment it will only be 4 out of the 12. It will take a bit longer, but break it up, and add a bit of variety.
@@iRunOnBeer All went ok! Finished Sunday lunchtime. 6 x 4 mile rows, on my Concept2, and 6 walks. I did one of the walks at 4am, but rest during the day. Just felt a bit tired, but after a couple of days rest I'm ready to go again. Not too shabby for a 63 year old!
@@philbertb Way to go! Sounds like a great effort. Glad to hear you're recovering well 💪
Doing it with a group of others (virtually) and can’t wait to push myself. Any nutrition or hydration tips at all please mate?
Hell yea! That's awesome. My recommendation would be to have a plan for your breaks from the start. My goal at the beginning was to have at least a small snack immediately after every run to get calories in. That maximized the time I had to digest before the next leg. I tried to space out bigger meals. Regardless of if you're hungry, keep putting in calories when you can so you don't end up with a massive deficit. Find something that works, and stick to it. For me, I ate a lot of Kodiak Cakes Minute Muffins (250ish calories I think), Egg Burritos, and plain tortellini. Hydration is the same, keep drinking water and electrolytes when you can. Food should help keep your sodium up but I also added a Nuun tablet to my water probably every other interval. The hardest part for me was the sleep, especially after the first 24 hours. I was exhausted mentally. I wish I had started trying to fit naps in earlier in the first day. This is also where planning comes into play because if you have your food and everything laid out, for those overnight runs you can finish, grab a snack, rinse off, and go immediately to sleep. I also used some CBD products to help me get to sleep more quickly. Cheers man, and good luck, you're going to have a blast!
What headphones do you have? Those look super cool!
I've been running in Aftershokz for YEARS and absolutely love them. I made a review of this pair a while back but they've got much newer models now. ruclips.net/video/ajPwApkNNc0/видео.html
Good job! Definitely an inspiring video! Just gave a longer critique on r/NewTubers
Thanks, I appreciate it! It was definitely a unique experience!
What's up man??
Great video - I’m interested to do this with Goggins in March - my current run base is c. 25 miles per week... do you think that’s possible or I really need to up the miles? - 4 is easy to do but not sure!
If you're at 25 miles per week right now, I definitely think you could get there by March. Even if you're not running, just see if you can increase your "time on feet" with walks and such throughout the week. Or if you have a weekend long run on Saturday, try doing a slow recovery run for an hour on Sunday. That'll give you a feel for running on tired legs. What do your current weekly runs look like? (aka Mo Rest, Tu 3-5 miles, We 6 miles, Th 3-5 miles... etc.)
@@iRunOnBeer thanks 👍🏻 - for sure, will increase time on feet in February and even throw in a few double run days 👍🏻 - thanks again for the feedback and the great video.
@@swissdaz1074 No worries, and thanks 🍻 Definitely let me know when you run it, I'd love to follow along!
You can do it! I actually just completed mine this morning (didn't realize there was a dedicated day until now) so I started looking through these videos to see how other people faired. My average mileage per week was about 6-9 going in... i basically had to settle for 11 min miles. It sucked. But it's doable!
@@hermittrozzy Way to go on finishing the challenge 💪
Imagine if you had to do that the life
What headphones are you using?
I've been running in AfterShokz for the last 4ish years. I've got the Aeropex now but have used several different models. I like them because I can listen to podcasts or music without blocking out the sound around me. Running on roads, I like being able to hear cars/bikes/people coming up behind me.
I’m doing the challenge as we speak. Gonna be tough!
Awesome!!! How far in are you?! Good luck!
2nd leg. Got my 8oclock run in an hour and a half
Sorry third leg
@@richrobinson202 It'll be tough but you'll have a blast. 2nd night is the hardest but then it's almost over. You'll have to report back!
Will do man
Why are you sleeping on the couch? lmao
Excellent question. I didn't want to wake my wife up since I had an alarm set every 4 hours 😂
Are you an experienced runner?
I'm no expert but I'd say I'm relatively experienced at this point. I've run 2 full marathons and 1 ultra and plenty of shorter distance races. The beauty of this challenge is that even more novice runners can take it on if you have a good base built up.
PREDICTION: 7 HOURS 52 MINUTES TOTAL!?
WOW 6:50!!
Ye of little faith! lol. I was actually also pretty surprised.
