I ran twice 24hrs in the stadium, not the same race, but one in Barcelona. It is hard to describe what really make you want to try the first time, then come back. But I admit that I have built similar attitude and "addiction" to keep coming back. From my side this is a mix of willing to make something really hard, share it with others, (extra)ordinary people, having something to be proud of yourself and finally the amazing feeling of crossing the line despite all the pain and sacrifice. This is hard to understand for big majority of people, but those who have tried, many will understand, without being able to explain it... hard to describe it really :))) There is something special about these races... give it a shot ;)

[@denlolify]

What does the aftermath look like? Multiple days of not being able to walk? Are you scared of permanent injuries during?

[@andrzejdanielewicz5529]

@@denlolify I can only speak from my experience. If you train reasonably much before and in general are a runner for some years, the pain lasts 3-4 days. Walking is very hard 1-2 days, some blisters, swollen feet etc. I would say within a week you are back to normal, can start short, slow runs. This is my experience, but it is very personal and based on your body, experience, capability etc. In terms of injury during the 24h run...yes, there is some level of fear, but anytime I feel something is wrong I slow down, walk or just stop for some time. At the end some people withdraw after some hours, you can always just take a break. Last time I got a ankle injury and spend last few hours just walking. Could not run. If this comes back to me in longer future.... I guess that is the risk I am willing to take ;)

Amazing that this was the first comment I saw as I was going to quote her! Some powerful words that lady said

[@Inevitable.Change]

This was amazing to witness. There was a quiet, meditative energy linked to the pure pain that the runners were going through. Even in the pain, they had a smile and a kind word. It was cathartic to see their overwhelming emotions come through at the end. So often we live through 24 hours without feeling the day go by, I'm sure these runners felt every second of that time. If they can do that, they can certainly do loads of other seemingly impossible things in the other 364 days of the year.

[@josephchristianruiz6581]

When there's a lot of endorphins released onto our bloodstream while jogging, that's when we experience this euphoric state by which alot of us runners call it the 𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧'𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝. Once we're able to experience the runner's high, pain subsides and we can continue on at the same pace for hours. I remember jogging at night during my 1st year in college (2011) I was supposed to start at 9pm and finish at 11pm. But due to experiencing a runner's high I kept on going until 5am the next day, I only stopped when I realized that it was sunrise already. 😂😂

[@Inevitable.Change]

@@josephchristianruiz6581 You ran the equivalent of a whole work day just for a bit of fun and quite possibly on accident. That sounds like chill memory where your strength and power were on display just for yourself. Better yet, it doesn't even sound like it was that strenuous which is a testament because that was a crazy long time to be running. I really enjoy running and walking and pursue those activities, in part, for the endorphins, my mood and state of mind have always followed action.

[@JackyTMusic]

Oh day 9 of walking again after L5 S1 L3 sequestration, I can only see sciatica while seeing these people run... but this is just another level of insanity, which i sincerely hope is on the cards for me in the future. I can't quite imagine it yet, but I feel having not being able to walk properly for 12 months once and now 10 weeks this time so far, that the answer to most doing this lies in not having fear of the extreme pain/complications that may occur, as they've been there. Or even had loved ones go to those places and are running to understand/support those they've seen in utter agony for long periods of time. Dono, just a guess from someone who aspires to do this kinda challenge.

[@birkknut276]

As a complete amateur i ran a full marathon at a small island outside Bergen, Norway a few years back. We ran 10 laps of 4,2 kilometers each. Bjørn Tore Taranger was the winner, and i got to hear him talk about his 24h run on the ferry trip back to Bergen. I was completely exhausted but he seemed like he had just finished his daily morning run. Good times, hehe

[@simongamez]

The strength of their minds is out of this world! That's more than 2 ultra marathons, and in a basement?! For 24h?! That's incredible! Their smiles and hugs at the end are beautiful. In the first place, who thought this was a great idea? It's nuts! I believe it's the passion, love and ambition for running that drive these people to run this much. Admirable!

[@kefkapalazzo1]

Ultra marathons are nuts already. Don’t those people ruin their bodies?

[@miggylobos1]

I have only done ultras less than 24hrs, but if I was in that track and you asked me, my answer would be: "These long races allow you to run well below threshhold and see how far your body can take you, no elevation changes, no rocks to trip over, no distractions, just you. They allow you to forget the stresses of the outside world for just a moment in time. Having no worries and running below threshold makes it easier to get in the 'running zone' or the 'runners high'. These races are not about beating others, but yourself and they make you get closer to your mental self." Thanks for the video Göran!

[@tirvplumbing]

It's also a fairly safe environment, if you fall or pass out someone will find you almost immediately and they'll have first aiders on site.

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

I had a friend in high school who was on the track team. She talked about runners high and always ran with me in PE class and told me the first mile is the hardest etc. I never felt what she talked about. I never felt a runners high and I never thought it was easy. I only felt asthma and tired. Maybe one day I will experience it. I want so badly to *want* to run.

[@kinseylise8595]

@@NikkiDoesStufff May I ask if you run regularly, and if so, what your mileage is like? It's an individual experience, but for me, I only get runner's high if I've been consistently running ~20 miles a week (coming from a combination of workouts). Although that is plenty for me, it's not a lot in terms of how much distance runners will often train. I think the reason I need that baseline is that if I'm not running that much, there is no "below threshold" run. I.e. all running quickly becomes painful and difficult. Runner's high lasts and carries you through, but at least for me it doesn't come if my lungs aren't minimally capable.

Thanks glad you liked the mini doc! And yeah so many inspiring runners down in that basement was so much fun to get to run the last hours with them.

[@reieli87]

@@goranwinblad it was very interesting and inspiring, im very impressed but everyone you interveiwed they were so kind. May ask this Stadium is based in Oslo? I think it would be cool if you gave it a try next year (up to you😅). Thanks again for anther great video

[@jackNimoy]

fantastic, very inspiring. this is my favorite kind of content.

[@godganjistreeoflife3722]

I felt like I ran out of breath just watching them. The mental fortitude of these people are strong.They have my absolute respect.

[@rakhipeswani]

Beautiful snippet of human resilience in the face of the human condition! Thank you! Just going for a run after thinking of skipping today…!

[@goranwinblad]

That makes me happy to hear, hope you had a great run!

[@xtraslomo]

"You know what's the worst thing? I'll be here next year also" hahaha good stuff

[@goranwinblad]

Haha 😅

[@dliedke]

3:03 "What makes it fun? - Feel the pain". In my race yesteday it was hurting and I just thought, "EMBRACE THE PAIN!" so cool.

[@cooperreed1709]

Great video! Very emotional!

[@cosplayersunionentertainment2]

I've done two of those for TROT(Trail Running Over Texas) in 2018 and 2019, 87 miles the first year(not so good still had 3.5 hours left) and won the next year, ran 108 miles struggled six days after running a 2:59 marathon(had to walk for several hours before realizing that if I didn't start running soon, I wouldn't win or complete 100 miles in this race-sounds almost like David Goggins).

[@Benis650]

I am a newbee jogger, I can't even keep running for a hour. Can't believe these guys can keep running for 24, amazing

[@zengerz]

its braindead, not amazing.... one of the most pethetic form of 'sports'. Smart people dont use sports to destroy their body feeding their ego; its mentall illnes naturally like that

[@Dude-etiquette]

This is freakin amazing. The joy in those people’s faces afterwards was beautiful.

[@goranwinblad]

Yeah it was really cool to get to see them conquering this incredible challenge!

[@camerondavis9055]

I’ve done a marathon but this is just a whole new level of wild. Wow. Next level commitment

[@reyrabago1035]

One of the reasons why I like running is because of the surrounding nature and the fresh air that I like very much. This is definitely no no for me. Their level of satisfaction in running seems to be of another level.

[@ticketforlife2103]

Same, I like the feeling of rocks and dirt under my feet

[@iflewoverthecukoosnest7016]

Outstanding - Id love to see more content like this from you!

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks yeah hope to be doing more of this mini doc style content in the future!

[@onthewaytosuccess9951]

Will definitely try it once Thank you for uploading this content.

[@JayRappa]

That’s incredible to see so many committed athletes . I don’t know how they could do it in the basement. Great video by the way

[@successfulengineer]

This was awesome man, I'm amazed how 'normal' all these people look, especially after running such distances.

[@akaTREV13]

"You know the worst thing? I'll be here next year." 🤣 Perfect summary

[@Q8Patriot]

Woow the editing skill and story telling everything thing is amazing 🔥🔥😍😍

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks 😊

[@joshgiu]

Extremely fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. And that guy at the end said he’d be back again tomorrow what??? Way to leave us on a cliffhanger 🤣

[@magnoliasweetie]

My gosh, what a feat! Also, it was so emotional to see when they finished the race. My gosh! I wonder how their body is after it ends and how long it takes them to recover!

[@philipph7911]

For me personally i think one of the biggest challenges is that constant running in circles with those lights above you. Trying not to get trapped in ur head and keep focus for 24hr thats the real achievement here. Then ofc phsyically this is a nightmare too. But i think i speak for a lot of runners that this looks/sounds intriguing af for some reason😂

[@LunaticX_]

Please do this next year. WOuld be really insightful

[@hidden7soul]

6:44 The message is so powerful, I remembered my professors who used to tell us this in class.

[@jimihenrik11]

My main reason for running is being outside. This seems like torture to me. Great documentation.

[@norma1604]

Great video. It would be great if you can meet some of them the day after and let them talk how they felt during the race and what kept them going and how they recover from this.

[@goranwinblad]

Thanks! Great suggestion, will maybe do something like that in the future in the mean time I made a video about my recovery after a 100k race mountain race: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXLPmapoaryWkNE

[@Lancentcx]

Great video. Never heard of this event but am going to look more into it or similar events.

[@XaviarLaCante]

THANK YOU! this is just the kick in the butt I recommence my training… “feel the pain”!

[@Onkruid]

Motivation, determination, perseverance ... but you also have to be just a little crazy I think :D

[@goranwinblad]

Haha yeah many of the runners I talked to also referred to themself as crazy 😅

[@josephpalma743]

I did this race twice and I ran 189 km the first year and 206 km three years later. There is not many things a human can do for a whole 24 hrs let alone run. I think this is ultimate challenge and the reason why I’ve done it was to first off see if I could even do it and second to see if I could do it again and be the best at being the craziest mofo to have run 24 hrs in a basement….. Last thing… once you do this, you can pretty much do anything!

[@kevinkreh2520]

Having my longest ever distance be 110k on trails the best answer I’ve been able to give when people ask me why is simply because I enjoy it. The peace, joy, and confidence that comes from putting myself through so much suffering voluntarily is unimaginable unless you’ve done it and endured. Being put through something difficult involuntarily is one thing but doing it willingly knowing you’ll suffer is a different mindset and I think ultra endurance athletes at our core would rather suffer and be different than live in comfort and be just like everyone else. Additionally, it’s type-2 fun, where the pleasure of the event comes after it’s over. And some people are just weird and crazy and like being in pain. I’m all three sometimes.

[@gggfx4144]

This is an inspiring and fascinating video. I love how at about 7:20 there is a man casually wheeling what looks like a wheelchair along the track, like "yeh pick up a few folk". Im amazed how good they all look after 23 hours though

[@michaelpratt11]

I just get emotional watching this. I would love to do something like that!

[@Williamottelucas]

You needed to have interviewed some of the slower runners (who mostly walk). I too have attempted this - 3 times - but outside, on a 400m track. My best distance was 143 kilometres. I did it barefoot. The best reason I can give for doing it is to create a lifetime memory. I will never forget.

[@mr.tiddles556]

Good video, my guy
