I haven't run a marathon but I've done 100 miles on a bike in 6-hour session. Does that count?

My tips:

  1. 1 to 1.5 liters of water per hour
  2. Sunscreen
  3. Regular breaks every 2 hours for 15 minutes
  4. That's it really, your everything begins to hurt at around hour 4 and 1/2

Can confirm, I've ridden a few centuries too, both outdoor and on virtual cycling platform. My longest is 120 miles, actually.

It's hard.

Agreed, it's hard

You're a real one, cheers 🍻
