I'm a big fan of Accelerade, but a marathon a day for 26 days. Who in the world is capable of doing that?? Is there going to be some media coverage or will they make claims in some advertising supplement in a tri magazine?

a marathon a day isn't ALL that unreasonalbe, what about those two kids runnin' cross country? (runtheusa.com)

I haven't heard about that. That sounds amazing, but are they running a marathon a day for 26 days straight? I think that Accelerade is pretty great, but not that great :-)

To summarise the website, (unrelated to accelerade) they are running from ocean to ocean, from New Jersey to Oregon, on about 20 miles a day, with no support vehicle (except maybe a baby-jogger to haul backpacks)

interesting, really.

OK. This guy's name is Jerry Dunn. It says in 2000 he ran more than 200 marathons, in 1996 he ran marathons for 25 straight days leading up to the 100th Boston, and in 1991 he ran the length of the U.S. We'll see how he does in his quest here in Colorado Springs as we're expecting a blizzard tonight and tomorrow. He says he loves to run but he won't risk his life to do it.

The new bottled Accelerade is good. Not at all chalky like the stuff from the powder. Now if they could just do something about Endurox R4.

Thanks AHub. I just checked out the website and all I can say is incredible. Makes me wish I lived in one of the towns on their route. I would certainly offer them a place to stay. And I guess you're right about running a marathon a day for 26 days not being all that amazing. I ran the LA marathon a few years ago and just can't imagine doing another the next day.

I haven't run a marathon, and wouldn't imagine doing it back to back, but that doesn't mean it can't be done... ;)
