Last year I wrote about a crazy race I went to watch in France – and Italy. In it, two teams of runners vied to race the entire way around Mont Blanc, passing Nike Internationalist Mens through three countries en route, between sunrise and sunset in one day. To “Outrun the Sun”. One of these team beat the sun, the other lost out, almost ridiculously, by a mere 30 seconds. It was a race in which pace is utterly irrelevant, and the technical challenges daunting. And this year it’s happening again – complete with similar teams of professional road and trail runners. As this is a solo expedition, it’s more than just running – I have to take all my own kit too. I push a Thule Cheetah 1 in front of me, full of all my equipment Nike Air Max Presto Mujer including food, water, tent and cooking equipment. It weighs in at about 40kg. As I am reliant on my running speed, it’s hard to have concrete plans about where and when you will be at any particular time, so logistics change on a daily basis. Why are you doing it? A lot of people ask why I am undertaking such a ridiculous adventure and the answer is pretty simple. I have worked in an office for 12 years. It felt to me like the window of opportunity to go and explore the world on foot was closing. I love running, always have, and Nike Air Vapormax Donna will do it as long as my body allows me. Running through countries gives you a special insight, one that I think you lose in a car or on a bus. Is this a first? I get asked that a lot and I don’t really care. It doesn’t change what I get out of the experience, and I will still raise lots of money for charity. Nike Air Presto Femme I think it’s more important to do something because you want to, rather than trying to get into a record book. That said, I think I am the first 35-year-old British chap to do it ... How many pairs of shoes will you wear out? So far I have worn through six pairs of running shoes. I try to buy new ones every 1,000km, but that can be a little tricky when you are in the middle of nowhere. On one occasion I actually bought a pair of shoes in a coffee shop in Guerrero Negro, Baja California. Shoe sponsors, alas, are hard to come by and Adidas Nmd Femme the logistics would be very complicated. Nike has very kindly provided me with three new pairs of trainers that should get me to Panama City, though. |
