Nellers Nov 2021 8:49am, 21 Nov 2021 39,119 posts	0 Nellers There's a youtuber I follow who does a lot of daft challenges, often endurance events, and vlogs his progress. He's not a runner runner but he's done running challenges before. He had a go at a 100km ultra earlier this year. It was quite a journey for him. It hasn't made me think doing an Ultra is a sensible idea! https://youtu.be/-YHPu3RzoJY I think this probably falls into the category of how NOT to do it but it's a fairly honest appraisal of how he tried. If you want to see the video of the 100km race itself it's here: https://youtu.be/qAliFl4W60g
