48 Miles by the numbers


At the end of the 2-day period, I burned 6,544 calories and ran 48 miles in 8:34:05. Six segments turned into five segments when I decided that I couldn't stop to rest and just had to finish the whole thing.

As you can see, the average pace per mile went up significantly as the days and segments went on. I was doing a respectable pace in the first two segments, and could even call the third segment respectable. As I got into the fourth segment (1st segment on the second day), I had to walk a bit more.

The 5th/6th segment consisted of mostly walking. The amazing part is that I still averaged under a 15-minute mile for that segment. I think that had a lot to do with the fact that I tried to run as much as possible in the last 2 miles... simply to be done.

I know that feeling of wanting to be done. Still, some very impressive numbers!
