![]() ![]() ![]() To prepare, I’ve been doing three days of speed work each week at the track or on roads. “It’s mostly working on the speed because my legs aren’t used to moving this fast. “For mountain athletes, we have a big motor, so it’s easy in terms of cardio and endurance,” Jornet says. The big thing is to not have any muscle problems and be able to eat without having big down periods.”Īccustomed to running (and winning) famed races like Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB), Hardrock 100, Western States 100 and countless mountain marathons around the globe, Jornet has sought expert advice from coaches and physios as he incorporated more speed work into his training. Of course, the first 10 hours will be a bit faster and then slowing every hour after, so I have a plan and I know what I want to run every hour. I know the speed I need to keep every hour, so then I know the pace for every kilometer and every lap. “I’ve seen Yiannis’ splits so I want to keep up with that as long as I can. “It’s so many kilometers that I cannot even visualize it,” Jornet said. ![]() Officially, the longest distance ever run in 24 hours was set in 1997 by Yiannis Kouros, who ran 303.506 kilometers (188.590 miles), which Jornet calls an “absolutely wild” achievement. That said, whenever the Spaniard laces up his Salomon running shoes, there is always a possibility for the extraordinary. Jornet has had his eyes on this 24-hour running challenge for some months and, as always, won’t make predictions or set expectations about how far he can run. In order to make the race official, several accomplished Norwegian ultra-runners will also compete. Still, to adhere to health precautions, the stadium will be closed to spectators during the run. Norway, where Jornet lives, has been relatively unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
