Keep it up Paul, your doing the impossible! Cheering you with every step!

@timfreeman27 10 ай бұрын

All the hate in the comments about him “giving up” is ridiculous! The man is attempting something most wouldn’t dare do and he’s doing it for a worthy cause.

Paul himself said he's given up on his WR goall. Not ridiculous.

@trailnut6002 10 ай бұрын

Were you guys really planning on breaking the WR? I dont see any relevant training he did for this - back to back 75 mile days, heat training, etc. Kinda seemed like he was training for a slower pace anyway?

Paul what you are doing it's something impossible for the average person... You are amazing!! Keep on going forward brother!! We'll raise a million and you'll be hitting NYC Strong!!!

@fritz4345 10 ай бұрын

As expected Paul is not doing as well as he thought he would. 16 days in, his average mileage has dropped to 56.8 miles per day and it will continue to drop. But he is doing alright, considering his small amount of ultrarunning experience.

It seems like the team also didn't do as specific planning as they should have, sounds like they're winging a lot of really important pieces. Bummer. But so, so impressive none the less!

Who would have thought running in the desert during daylight hours when you train in the northeast isn’t a great plan.

Keep it up I been watching since the start and it has motivated me to do a marathon and maybe even a Ironman. I know you can do it 😊

Keep going Paul. Been following ever since you announced your run brother! Doesn’t matter if it takes you 100 days. The fundraising is so much more than what these trolls think especially with a teenage daughter that struggles with mental health and cutting. I can’t wait for you to come thru Pennsylvania! I’ll be there with some water and Oreos for you 🙌🏽

More than anything, this video put the spotlight on his team and their poor planning. You could argue he would be on pace if he never underwent that first day of overheating. Every little thing is a domino effect. But still for a good cause.

It amazes me how negative people would chose to be and probably can’t even run a mile… just be supportive of the guy

@kikobrenneisen75 10 ай бұрын

That’s not the point, it’s the lack of preparation by the whole team. If I was Paul I’d be pretty pissed at my crew chief for planning wrong routes and lack of awareness regarding running in the desert.

It’s all about being able to pivot and improvise with the skills, resources and knowledge you have on hand. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, hindsight is 2020. Let us know when you’re planning your perfectly executed run across the country.

Pretty telling the charity you're running for wasn't mentioned in your intro dog, keep the focus on what's important given the goalposts have shifted

This is truly amazing you should make this into a movie. Wether you break the record or not you will have run more in just a few months than the people in this comment section will in their entire lives.

It’s crazy that he quit chasing the world record so fast but anyone with eyes saw it coming. You can’t expect to do something of this magnitude without proper planning & poor nutrition. Which he & his team have done both, and then quit after 4 days 😂

He's tough I'll give him that. The fact he finished middle of the pack at speedgoat 50k should have been indication he simply isn't fast enough for the record and anyone who thought so is delusional.

@@lumanwalters_yeah he obviously wasn't prepared or qualified for the record but if you think Speedgoat 50k is any indicator at all for success at this kind of run you clearly have no idea what it takes. Pete Kostelnick would have placed middle of the pack for Speedgoat. Does this look like a mountain/sky race?

@@jamieellison3988you do not have to do a marathon before attempting a marathon. Silly question and presumption. Granted, experience with multiday races wouldve been in his favor but that's not what you were asking.
