Ultramarathoners tend to get into the sport the same way that drug addicts do, in an all consuming obsessive rush. Then, there’s ultramarathoners, who are just monsters, who practically can’t stop running, who wake up at 4 am to start their morning runs and then run again after work, if they have enough hours in the day to work a job.
Then there’s marathoners, who run extreme distances at extreme speeds, chart their performance, try weird and demanding diets, garner sponsorships, hire trainers, take “vacations” to harsh landscapes in order to train for their race schedule. The more adventurous will undertake such a distance in disbelief, entering in order to see if they can finish at all. For most people, the 26.2 miles that make up a marathon are a long and grueling distance.
