Everesting World Record Attempt

[Stretch]

A fine response sir!

 

Cometh the hour cometh the man.

 

Caveat: I don't think many people doubted your ability - your overly brash and under prepared approach rubbed me up the wrong way.

 

This is another case where I would like to be proven wrong. Best of luck.

I'll second that notion

[Thor Buttox]

Are you implying that you need to dope to take the hour record?

I think that is the implication. Much like that for Everesting, a vegan is the best tool for the job. Guess it's how you say things, not what you say.

Its true hey. Dolls love an accent.

To commemorate this great event I pledge to harvest a springbuck for every 1000m #vanweasel climb.

ok so it's not possible to break the everesting world record in msanzi.

 

instead, let's go smash a half marathon in 75 minutes with 6 weeks of training.

 

well the hlaf marathon was last weekend, let's see what happened

 

 

 

[intern]

1.29 for a half is pretty good.

[Jaws677]

1.29 for a half is pretty good.

Not even remotely close to 75min

He was so far off his goal time it's not even funny.

 

On that same race one of the ladies in our running group and he mid 50 year old husband ran that time .......

I’m just surprised he didn’t stop at the halfway mark...

[MORNE]

I’m just surprised he didn’t stop at the halfway mark...

maybe he entered for the full marathon and just edited the video afterwards

 

PS: I didn't watch it, don't care

 

PS2: and don't forget that it would have been easy if he had the right internal gearing

[Edge_Design]

1.29 for a half is pretty good.

 

 I agree... unless you're aiming for 1.15 in which case it is absolutely useless.

 

But I haven't watched the video (don't know if I can handle it) so no idea what the full story is.

[Eldron]

This guy is great at talking/hyping. Not so good at mathematics.

[Mudsimus]

Bloody hell, he ran 1h29 in a pair of Speedcross takkies. Im no Vanzweelawhatwhat fan but thats impressive. Those shoes are only meant to be worn with your jean pants while shopping in Menlyn.

 

Still waay off his target though.

I doubt that these folks were running those times on this kind of mileage: 

 

 

I'm not defending this guy, but folks on here are making a mountain of a molehill. It was a challenge a friend set him, he v/blogged about it and gave it a damn good effort. That's it. I'm sure that most of the okes railing on the hub have yet to run a 1:30 half. 

[Edition 507]

There is no doubt that this chap does have some athletic ability, however I think he consistently over estimates it to a large degree.

But he still failed the challenge. The second ridiculous challenge he attempted. Both his Everest and half marathon attempts were impressive, but way off his targets. Targets announced very arrogantly and with fanfare galore. Should we pat his head?

[jdwet1980]

Racing for alot of years his cardio system and endurance would be in top condition and would not leave alot of room for improvement. I would suggest speed intervals and strength work would give him the best gains.

However, to reach 75 mins you need the correct genetics.
