On 24hrs Running Challenge

I started following Kilian Jornet over an year back. By then, he had already established himself as the most decorated trail runner in the history of the sport. For those interested, here’s his profile.

Couple of weeks back Kilian and a bunch of other accomplished ultra-runners took part in a challenge to run continuosly for a period of 24hours in Måndalen, Norway. Even though he came short of breaking the record set by Yiannis Kouros in 1997 who ran 303.506 kilometers (188.590 miles), events like these makes you question the limitation which we set on our potential.

There are always people who are raising the bar - be it any discipline. I would like to believe it all starts with looking forward to your next run.
