 It's just too much fun, I can't resist. Do I know how to train for a 100 mile race? Not saying I do, folks. I've never done this. I'm a pupil of the sport at the moment. Did you know? Did you know that Wayne Gretzky, when he was 8 years old, 9 years old, 10 years old, he would sit on his living room floor staring at his TV screen, you know, probably an old black and white one, I'm guessing, and with his parents behind him sitting on the sofas, they would watch him with his finger on the TV screen. He would move his finger where the puck was going to go. He knew, as an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old, where the NHL players were going to pass the puck next, and look what happened. He turned into the greatest NHL hockey player of all time. So I'm kind of using that mentality of entering into the moment, being very present to the pain, the pain threshold that I'm about to put myself through today and many times in the next month. But I do know this much. I need to get stronger, and I'm trying new things. I'm a pupil. This is the testing year of the 100-mile distance, and I'm going to do my best. But to get stronger, I got to lift. I lifted yesterday. My legs are tired, and I'm running with a weighted vest, 10 pounds, as you guys are calling them, the wizard sticks, those trekking poles from Leckie. Thank you, Leckie. They're amazing. But I'm trying to get stronger. So we'll see how it goes. I've got two liters of water on my back, a 10-pound vest, and a little bit of grit. Come on. There you go. Come on. We'll take that two hours, 12 minutes, with a 15-pound monkey on my back. Holy guacamole. That was kind of hard. As Russell would say, and since we're on the topic of hockey, the Las Portivas are going in the penalty box. Hey, I got a nasty blister on my right foot. Oh, it's a doozy. Okay, question of the day. How do you train for a 100-mile race? And maybe you don't have 100-mile experience, but I'd still be interested in your thoughts. And question two, if you have never trained or run 100 miles, which is basically 99.9 percent of the world, what is the longest you've ever run or walked in your life? So maybe you've hiked the Appalachian Trail, and anyway, how was that experience? Comment below. But the question of the day about how do you train for a 100-mile race, I'll be very curious to hear your thoughts down below. And I am going to talk about what I did today and why I did what I did and my thoughts on training here in about 30 minutes back at the shed. Back at the recording studio, beginning of the run, end of the run, beginning of the run, end of the run. But I will recover, right? The 100-mile distance, folks, if you do have any insights, tips, tricks, let me know down below. I'm new. I'm a rookie to the 100-mile. I ran a 452-1-mile time trial with no speed training two weeks ago. And so it's like, I'm not really built for 100 miles, but that's okay, and I'm going to keep fighting. You've got to dip your toe in the water sometime, right? You can't just sit on the sideline your whole life. You've got to go for it. You've got to go for it. And so I'm going for it, even though I don't exactly know the right recipe for training for 100 miles in a 100-mile race, I believe there are three factors to really, really hone in on. It's your strength, which I'm working on now. It's your nutrition and it's your route finding. If you could nail all three of those, you got a good shot, more so even than your aerobic base. Like, yes, you need to have an aerobic base, but it's more in my mind. This is how I'm approaching this race as a pupil of the sport is that I am going into it that I got to be strong mentally and physically, like actually strong so that I can push through the pain as opposed to all, like I'm going to muscle through it with speed. This is not going to be a speed event. So that's why I donned the 10-pound vest today. And again, this might not be a great idea. I don't know, but I'm trying it. I'm willing to try new things. And yes, I did not just jump into this. I've been wearing this around my house for the last month. I've been jogging around my house for the last month in this thing. So it's not like I just put it on and went and ran 11 miles. Okay, folks, thank you for your comments. Appreciate it. Any advice you can give? Appreciate it down below. Any tips for today? And I wish I could find this gentleman's name. I believe he's from Europe, but I could not find his comment in, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. But he was asking me, I wish I knew your name. He was asking me about chafing. And this is what I use, sir. It's called RunGuard, RunGuard right there. It's the cheaper option. The other, the other company is called Squirrel Nut Butter and a lot of ultra runners use that. I prefer this. It's called RunGuard. It's made with aloe, beeswax and organic carnivore, carnivore. You just lather up and you're good to go. I've never had issues if I put this on before a long run. Okay, number two, Spenco. Spenco, S-P-E-N-C-O. It's green. You will be very happy if you stick this in your shoe, whoop, if you stick this in your shoe and it just provides a little more cushion for those long runs to save your bones and save your ligaments and save your muscles just a little tiny bit. It's not an arch support at all. No arch support. It's just cushion. I use these in college. I love them and I'm getting back into them with this longer distance training business. I know I'm missing something but I'm going to call it and we love you guys. Thanks for coming by and thanks for helping me out. If you do give advice down below, I won't be able to use it in the next five weeks. I'll use it maybe next year if we attempt this again someday, a hundred mile distance someday. But I will put it into the archive of information for future running endeavors. Okay, I've got to go to bed. I'm tired. Seek beauty, work hard, love each other.
