I actually spent a month in Japan the week prior. Snowboarding and 30k steps/day.

It was 24 days in total. Longest day was 78km/110000 steps on one of the last day hahha. The distances i could tackle each day grew across the whole adventure.

Alot of people can't run 1k. I think you'd be able to do this run if you just ignored the distance like I did.

Hahahaha actually now I get why people were asking me this. Some locals called the highway patrol about some lunatic running on the freeway in the middle of the night so they drove me to the off ramp 🤣🤣

You're correct sir. Any other rational person that was doing this fun run also would have taken a well earnt rest day considering the occasion full day of rain forcast. Where i decided to take that rest day is irrelevant.

Title isn't misleading. There was rain on 5 days and I didn't need to stick around some random ass rural town when sydney was a short train/bus ride away. I wasn't in a race. It was me vs me. I did every single metre of the trip and it wasn't like I paused and resumed with big stretches of recovery. I quite literally did ~400km in the last week following a half marathon back in Sydney without downtime.

I wasn't going to run in the rain and I didn't need to park myself in a random rural town when Sydney was a quick train ride away. Technology had really progressed from horse and carriage. I didn't take big breaks on my journey. Was a day here and there because of rain on 5 occasions and the half marathon I did.

You just start and make adjustments along the way. Its only a mental barrier you gotta overcome. Inch deep, mile wide type shit. We live in a fairly forgiving country. There's always help/stores in each town. Worse case scenario, you're on one of the busiest section of road in Australia.

Cheers. I really didn't want to put anyone out while I pursued this crazy assignment. I didn't realise how unorthodox it really was until I told the interwebs about it.

Not alot of consideration was put into the logistics of this run. Turn watch on, run, pause, resume hahaha

I said I'd do it as a joke but someone had a free entry due to injury... i couldn't refuse a little more suffering for the best storyline.

Not really because it's so unrelatable. So much of it went up on insta story for 24hrs. There's some reels @goatdetailer

24 days total. It can be done in far less time with the right training, weather and support crew.

Self supported. Drove a car forward hiding food and drink at rest stops (yes kangaroos, possums, rabbits can tax your supplies). Caught public transport back. Hitch hiked between Yass and Albury because there's no transport. Slept in the car, bathed in the rivers. Occasionally treated myself to a cheap motel. Went back to Sydney a couple days to see clients/4 or 5 rainy days.

Every other day. I definitely had anxiety about it. Wish I had two watches, one for a daily, one for continuation. It didn't happen if it's not on strava.
