  • 48 miles over 48 hours doesn't sound too bad in the grand scheme of ultra endurance challenges, but when you factor in the sleep deprivation that comes with having to go for a run every four hours, the Goggins Challenge is no small feat. Mark took on the 4x4x48 to raise money for the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

    Did it last year with a group of friends. It was awesome. Miserable, but honestly such a great time. The running part was not bad for me as I typically run 40-50 a week. Where it got hard was the lack of sleep and the zero recovery. Probably didn’t sleep more than 3 hours for the two days we were doing the challenge. My advice would be to have a stretch routine after every run, and sleep where you can. Finding some friends to do it with too was also huge. Makes the challenge way more fun when you suffer together.

    • @jamesconnorcrosby1159
      @jamesconnorcrosby1159 Год назад +7

      @@nk-dw2hm The challenge isn’t really about running 48 miles. It’s about getting up to do something every 4 hours. So you can’t cheat and try and do an 8 mile run and then rest for longer, because the challenge isnt to get to 48 miles, it’s to complete an activity that’s takes around 30-45 minutes every 4 hours for 48 hours.

    Completed my 4x4x48 a week ago. I wanted to use it as training for running through the night at some ultra marathons I have planned so did 11 of the 12 solo. Also tried to stress myself mentally by each run starting from the same point. It's definitely an achievement to complete but you can adapt to you as an individual so much.

    Just completed my first 4x4x48 at midnight last night. The running part was not as bad as I thought, but the lack of sleep (about 5-6 hours total of broken sleep) and you are right, keeping fueled, was also hard. Had some friends for 2 of the runs but the rest was solo. It was still a pretty amazing challenge and I think I will make it an annual thing.

    Going to give this a try after New Year. You should do Fortitude Mark run by Fullsteam Events. 3,4,5 mile loop every hour for 10 hours. Did it with a friend from my triathlon club, neither of us had run a marathon ever but I managed 37 miles and he did just over 40. Your recovery is what ever time you have left over from your previous run. It’s a great challenge and extremely hilly……….no flat

Well done on your effort !

This way there is no travel time involved, and you can get back to resting quicker. I did the 24hr challenge last year, and I feel like I wasted a lot of time driving to and back from a spot. Time that I could have used for sleep.

    My housemate did it last year, I joined him for just over half of them. My god the sleep deprivation ruined him, but he did it.
    He couldn't remember the word for 'Bus Stop' on the last run.

    The sleep deprivation reminds me of having a newborn. Everything feels so much harder when you’re tired.

    Way to persist. Did you consider running at the start of one of the 4 hour periods coming back and sleeping for 6+ hours and then running the 4 miles to try to get some good sleep/rest? Or is the challenge to start on the 4 hour mark each time (or your rules because you can walk 4 miles if you choose to)? I've done a self backyard style run where I ran 4.167 miles at the start of every hour for 17 hours (and cycled 15 minutes), but sleep strategy seems more key in the Goggins challenge (or if I was going more than 17 hours in a backyard ultra).
