Would run 150 mile Ultra Marathon for 1 million dollars

**Ninersnut** · 04-03-11, 07:58 PM

Wow thats crazy I wouldn't get very far

**poochiecollins** · 04-03-11, 08:23 PM

I would be comfortable running a regular marathon, but I have no idea how my body would hold up to that distance over that short amount of time, even with the most rigorous of training. I'm intrigued, though. Is there a contest in the ballpark of that, or the event you mentioned was a one-time deal?

**Tackleberry** · 04-03-11, 08:47 PM

24 hrs? No chance. Give me 48 and done deal.

480 hours for me

**Phats1313** · 04-03-11, 09:39 PM

150 miles in 24 hours is impossible to run, I doubt any Navy Seal did it. Your body would break down after so many miles.

**ApricotSinner32** · 04-03-11, 09:49 PM

Can I say on my ass for 24 hours and dream about running 150 miles for 1 million dollars?

**pronk** · 04-03-11, 09:53 PM

Unless you're Forest Gump, it's humanly impossible to run 6+ miles per hour for 24 straight hrs. Or is it?

**5ammy** · 04-03-11, 10:16 PM

24 hours eh... I would attempt it

**Andy117** · 04-03-11, 10:17 PM

I know I couldn't do it. Most I ever ran in one day was 13 miles and that was back in high school.

**head_strong** · 04-03-11, 11:06 PM

would be extremely tough, but for that kind of money I'd try it.

**cjwatsonfan32** · 04-03-11, 11:07 PM

I couldn't see anybody doing that right now.

**OnlyMayo** · 04-03-11, 11:08 PM

I almost had a heart attack reading the subject line....there is no way..

**marinagmendes** · 04-03-11, 11:08 PM

I highly recommend the book Born to Run by Chris Mcdougall for anyone interested in the topic!

**mminkovski** · 04-03-11, 11:29 PM

It's too much for 24 hours. I'd try but for 48 or more and with at least 5 breaks.

**rsnnh12** · 04-03-11, 11:30 PM

I would drive it in 24 hours for a million

World record in 24 hours is 188.5 miles... fat chance I could get within 40 miles of that lol

**mw00** · 04-03-11, 11:31 PM

i def would give it a go but prolly pass out after 30 mins of running..

**Richkas** · 04-03-11, 11:31 PM

I'd never make it.

Same here. I don't think even after training, I will come close to pulling this off.

And you will only get one crack at it. I'd probably pass out after the 1st 3 miles. An Ex-Navy seal did it in 22 hours, and got rewarded $200k for his brutal effort.

don't try it unless you are a Kenya Olympic marathon gold medalist .

**goofyre** · 04-03-11, 11:40 PM

I'm not even sure I could make that on a bike and I'm in pretty good shape. And I bet a good runner would do a lot better than a navy seal at this type of thing, seals have too much muscle to be good runners.

**jeffdane** · 04-04-11, 01:02 AM

i would def take the time to train and try for a million bucks. u can do alot if u train ur body and mind.

**RubberKettle** · 04-04-11, 07:38 AM

Not many people can do this. Its better than a 10 minute mile straight for 24 hours.

**milwaukee mike** · 04-04-11, 07:42 AM

no matter how hard you train, superhuman stuff like this is still almost impossible for everyone.

**marinagmendes** · 04-04-11, 11:28 PM

this is not true ^ i highly recommend reading the book i mentioned earlier!

Just checked out the amazon reviews real fast and made an impulse buy.

is that the book about the natives that run barefoot? or am i thinking of the wrong book

**MexicanStallion** · 04-04-11, 11:49 PM

I couldn't do it and wouldn't attempt it since I would have no chance in 24 hours.

**xlilsp1keyx** · 04-04-11, 11:53 PM

jesus thats pretty much impossible. but im sure a lot of people would probably try this.

**Squareguy** · 04-04-11, 11:58 PM

This isn't as hard as you guys are making it out to be....sure it would suck...but you would only need to be going a mile every 9:23 or so to make it. For a million dollars, that's certainly attainable if you have a nice degree of fitness.

**TodayIsForgotten** · 04-04-11, 11:59 PM

You'd be surprised. I"m sure a very select few could do it in 24 hours. There are already people running 60 mile ultra marathons as an addiction every 3 days.

**cala56** · 04-05-11, 12:09 AM

Another would you thread, whit stupid but funny questions. Like would you walk in the snow naked?

**Roy Halladay** · 04-05-11, 12:14 AM

That is absolutely insane, and I'd definitely faceplant after 10 miles

**frognose20** · 04-05-11, 12:22 AM

i could not pull that one off. probably be able to get 50 miles in 24 hours

Marathons like these are around yearly, and there's cash if you win but not a million though. It's something that only a human being pushing themselves beyond human limits can accomplish. So it's a legit question, because these contest are out there and you can actually qualify for them.
