This Should Not Be Humanly Possible

This feat of endurance is almost impossible to convey. Sean Conway is currently attempting to undertake something that no human will have ever done. 102 Iron Distance Triathlons in 102 days.
That is 3.8km Swim, 180km on the bike and finish with a marathon. For 102 days. Just let that sink in. It is an effort on the very limits of human capability and understanding. And Sean does it with a steely determination and incredibly positive spirit. It was inspiring to be just a small part of.

He broke the record yesterday. Massive congrats to Sean!

[@balazs.joo90]

And he's still doing it. Wonder how many he will do until he finally stops.

[@patrickgronemeyer3375]

modern record...

[@patrickgronemeyer3375]

oh where is his proof that he really did all of this?\

[@ThisMessyHappy]

@patrickgronemeyer3375 Strava (and people with him every day obvs)

[@nathanadair6579]

😮

[@ConSeanWay]

Thanks for coming to run with me. Great video too. 🙏

[@Rizz_Messiah]

Real life Forrest Gump lol.

[@ThisMessyHappy]

Ha ha he’s amazing! But yes totally the same vibes 😂

[@brentcharlton1065]

☝️#BetterTitle!!! Lol

[@Will00110]

Ahhahahabhahaa

[@scotchbarrel4429]

I bet his hygiene is horrible, and I'm guessing this is the lever that gets pushed aside to enhance his goals 😂 Hey Messy, do a vid on your testosterone levels, is it true that runners have low testosterone, and would you be willing to show your bio markers for T?

[@thyme4thought422]

I just felt like running!

[@archiecarr5871]

that fact he had a record to break is mind blowing

[@steveholmes4918]

Well done on making this video. Very little mention of Sean on social media, and he deserves much more coverage, so thank you for this video.

[@hannesaltenfelder4302]

Those really long events generally don't get much attention like that french guy who crossed every continent except the arctic within a year. 80k/day on average. 8liters of water/day. Or the transeurope run. People are too fast-living for that🤷‍♂️

[@marks-0-0]

Yes people like Sean should be all over the news but we live in soft times where most can't even be healthy let alone challenge themselves

[@robertmuckle2985]

​@@marks-0-0---- I agree most people don't challenge themselves, but this is so outrageous it borders on a mental illness. I've done more challenges in my 68 years than anyone I know, but somehow I find this more disturbing than celebratory. This man will have lasting injuries from this feat, and it will certainly not add quality years to his life. I wouldn't recommend this type of personal physical abuse on my worst enemy, if I'm being honest!

[@SamsaraRevolves]

"I just have to chase something, and it has to be difficult. ...there's got to be an element of uncertainty on the outcome. If there's stuff that I know that I can do, I don't know, it doesn't get me out of bed." Hell yeah! 💪

[@Terminatortx33]

Absolutely so much mental strength. What a tuff man.

[@PaulBartontreegazer]

Thanks for making this - Sean is an absolute legend!

[@wayneclarke9381]

Incredible, thanks for making this video.

[@Jojo-eb1gi]

Mind blowing! Incredible video thank you, what an inspiration!

[@StoneRunning23]

Fantastic video! Good luck on the quest! Enjoy watching you and Mary.

[@lordgonzo.]

I was with him on day 32. Truly inspiring 👊

[@colonelJ77]

Who was with him on day 33?

[@dsc420247]

​@@colonelJ77 Me!!!😂😂😂 But I was in a car!!!!

[@colonelJ77]

@@dsc420247 so you drove behind him every day of this?

[@liamallport3361]

Just mind blowing that anyone could attempt that and find the motivation day after day. 👏

[@mathieupaquet2133]

Goooo! Thanks for raising the bar higher, this raises the world average this making each one of us stronger simply spectating.

[@liamdobbin1089]

It’s great to see my local routes on the video!!! Great effort all round!!!!

[@rmjames83]

Absolutely incredible!!! & what an amazing experience for you guys!! Im looking forward to sharing some Kms with Pat Farmer who is currently running around Australia right now-I can’t wait!!

[@mikekarpaty3871]

He’s such a beast

I love watching your channel. I never know what I will see.

Ha ha thanks 😊

[@GrooveyBobby]

Wow 😮 that’s amazing ❤

[@boxlessthinker1973]

Astounding!

[@rhysmaybrey7739]

This guy needs more coverage. Truly epic challenge. A true feat of human endurance. Hope he completes all 102.

[@robertmuckle2985]

He needs a psychologist that isn't afraid to give him the cold hard truth! His demons will still be there, even if he completes this exercise of self abuse!

[@plutoplatters]

epically epic

[@Aaroncroy252016]

​@@robertmuckle2985Haha not everyone that does things you don't like and that are physically demanding is mentally ill buddy. Of course he knows this will take a toll on his body, but it's his body, i​t's not yours.

[@paulpurves484]

Epic.!!

[@Insert_Screename_Here]

I've been following him on Instagram, totally amazing feat.

[@googlable123]

When they brought out the global distance scale my jaw was on the floor lol simply amazing

[@anthonygoodson8183]

Lol I can barely jog on my walks in the morning. Dude is amazing.

[@rhinopaul]

The Gump beard is real, I thought it was a deliberate prop but when you only have 2 hours a day to eat and 💩 it all makes sense 😁

[@ThisMessyHappy]

Ha ha this is all so true 😂

[@AdamWade82]

Was lucky enough to do the runs on days 36 and 37 with him.

[@SuperKinlo]

I’ve been following him on Strava and it’s unbelievable. Some of the weather recently, a marathon is bad enough in that heat let alone with the swim and cycle.

[@luceinbattaglia9425]

That’s a real hero!🔝👏🦾

[@rhinopaul]

Did The London Marathon this year. I couldn't imagine doing a virtual marathon without the crowds and motivational support that you get from the real thing. Its such a mental challenge doing it with only yourself to get you through but ground hog day for 102 days, thats straight jacket mental.

[@sylvaindore3190]

Also ran the marathon in London and would not have make it without the London crowd, and this guy is doing it EVERYDAY! WOW

[@JB-wr2lx]

A Canadian Terry fox ran halfway across Canada on one leg , averaging 42 km a day while battling cancer .

[@DarrenDayo0903]

That’s the thing about a good challenge.. not knowing if you’re going to be able to finish it. When you adopt that mindset you just go and work on it and if you fail you find out where your limits are. Win win.

[@christophersimpson3235]

Amazing

[@darringrey4329]

Hi Ben, Mary I no we don't agree on afew things , your correct anything is possible get and push yourself to achieve what seems impossible .

[@nicholasduck9663]

Unreal!

[@videowatch016]

Absolutely insane. The stats that you showed were just mind blowing. I cant comprehend resources and determination needed to make this happen everyday 😮👏👏👏

[@ThisMessyHappy]

It’s almost incomprehensible. It’s just mad.

[@KC_Runz]

This man is a walking..... no RUNNING inspirational legend!!! What a set of achievements, just astounding!! Maximum respect! 💯🙏

[@markthomasson5077]

Mmm. He is running, well just about, but would actually take less effort if he power walked.

[@sarahday2292]

Wow!!! He looks like he is handling the physical stress better than Iron Cowboy did. I have no doubt also he will do it!

[@irondistance4313]

Well done Sean, I’ve been following this from the first week keep going can’t wait to see day 102 and your next adventure in the future

[@irawhitlock1084]

Speechless. The farthest I’ve run in one go is about 22 miles. I just can’t wrap my mind around it. I was watching a video about ultra runner Courtney Dauwalter, and she apparently hallucinates regularly during races. I’m sure Sean has had this experience and then some. It’s definitely an unearthly physical feat, but the mental strength is even more awe inspiring I think. I’d love to hear more about how he is able to push through the pain. That being said, you guys also blow my mind with all that you’ve accomplished. I’d love to hear your guy’s take on the pain cave as well.

[@jasonlee4267]

Even I cant, the furthest I ever ran in one go was 102 miles in 15 hours 50 mins around the lake district (during Covid) but this is absolutely on a different planet, there is a degree of fitness you can achieve when it becomes mind over matter, BUT once wear and tear sets in there is no pushing through that without causing serious harm, I am very interested to understand how he can stay injury free for such huge lengths of time with so little recovery in between, and he doesnt look like a young chap (As in a 20 something). this is truly insane, amazing what the human body can do

[@smeaglerG]

@@jasonlee4267 Look at how he runs. He is incredibly skilled. He has mastered softening the impact of running.

[@ivartheboneless1456]

Wow that’s amazing I use to think someone running 50 marathons in 50 days was insane this is definitely the new king.

[@Dan-zz4jb]

Amazing to watch! Very inspirational! A few questions that I wasn't sure if I missed in the video: 1. Are the bike rides done indoors? 2. How often does Sean eat? 3. What monitoring of his vitals is done to make sure he is healthy enough to continue?

[@marksmith1547]

I’ve been following this via strava and Facebook he’s inspirational to say the least he’s gonna make it definitely

[@marksmith1547]

Not Facebook Instagram 😀

[@Shevock]

Good interview.

[@Shevock]

Also, why stop at 102? I mean it's not going to get you a nickname like Iron Cowboy. Rather if you're going to put 102 days into such a venture, beat it big. Maybe an even number like 111. Eleventy-one. Maybe then he can get a nickname like the Bilbo Tri-gins.

[@dog-jiu-jitsu]

Paul from Kodak - Well done Mate!

[@abbyschwendler1107]

Göran Winblad just posted a video basically stating, setting a goal that you KNOW you can do isn't motivating. It's very similar to the answer Sean gave to your "why". Good advice from both gentlemen.

[@qcomberette]

It must be so hard to keep going. But the way I see it, is like someone working a super physical job(many people do especially nowadays in less fortunate countries), day in day out sometimes for years. The only difference is most of the time they don't have the choice to stop. But nevertheless it is absolutely mind blowing, well done !

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

Love it , will contribute some of his majesties finest drinking vouchers myself , thanks for sharing the link (looks like you guys are enjoying your Holiday )

[@mikew6840]

Drinking vouchers 🤣🤣🤣

[@Camberwell86]

Jeez Louise. I'm following 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook trying to be the first man to run the length of Africa... he's doing just over a marathon every day... but this is levels above 🤯

[@tinalewis6782]

This is incredible! Will you keep your viewers up-to-date on his progress and let us know when he gets to 102?

[@vincentschauer]

According to Strava he finished his 98th swim yesterday, so looking good. 😮🎉😊

[@jsnthurst1]

That beard adds a lot of swimming resistance too, making it even more impressive!

[@cspace1234nz]

.....I'm only 2 minutes into this video and I'm exhausted already !!

[@jasonlee4267]

this is magnificant, HOWEVER, as an ex trail runner and ex long distance runner who had to retire at only 41, I can say for certainty, that sort of over use on your joints, especially the knees will literally take decades of their life span, I wish you the absolute best though as this is mind boggling

[@jeancater1388]

Wow!

[@pete801]

Great video. Also: Mary is fantastic

[@Persistence_run_444]

Have you followed the hardest geezer? He’s running the length of Africa.

[@ericpelletier7721]

Inspiring. Bonus : I laughed really loud from the 5:06 mark as I imagined he was riding his bike on some railroad tracks. I know he wasn’t, of course, but I was so entertained just to imagine he was.

[@eldante4139]

Incredible efforts. Would be so easy to say can’t do it, he just gets out there and gets it done. Wow. Incredible determination. 👏

[@dalem1140]

This guy is awesome. Have you seen Russ Cook too? Currently running the length of Africa. A marathon every day for over 300 days. Worth a look folks👍

[@Gone_fishing4]

I run day 75 with Sean his a true Champ 🫡

[@mburns4551]

Awesome!!!! Congratulations! What is his diet?

[@Fenndog]

Glad I clicked on this as I was doing the math and there was no way he was just running that! Then I seen triathlon 🥴

[@blair1203]

Russ Cook is having a rough day!

[@plutoplatters]

Doing TWO of these would be IMPOSSIBLE !!!! yep... insane

[@andyreact]

I know Sean's cousin, Sean has done some mad challenges previously! Swimming the length of Britain etc! Crazy!

[@dreamwarrior25]

Run Forrest run!

[@zombitaly]

my it band hurts just by looking at him 😂

Run Forrest!

[@madratter]

Amazing. Congratulations. Why did the other person stop ?

[@chrismichael1161]

It’s Groundskeeper Willy!

[@jannes3290]

I thought this was Russ Cook, the hardest geezer

[@orrinkelso9295]

I can't believe someone did 101!

[@biginfluencer5252]

He’s like an even crazier beau miles

[@christophlindinger2267]

inspiring and crazy at the same time. Can this be still healthy? How are his joints? Just wondering... It is beyond anything I thought possible a human body can take without getting seriously long term damage

[@hannesaltenfelder4302]

If you are looking for a healthy running form, I guess this guy nailed it.❤ (I used to run 3h/day for 3month and it already felt like I had no time left during the day AND I cheated sometimes)😳

[@valtterivalo]

The final boss of zone 1

[@nicksrunningandadventureschann]

When I watched his 1st documentary on running the length of the UK, I decided to take up running and my goal was to run from Catterick garrison to Scarborough southbay 67 miles and I did it in 15 hours

[@PazLeBon]

why?

[@nicksrunningandadventureschann]

@PazLeBon why not ? Was inspired to challenge myself I lived in Catterick and came from Scarborough so made sense to me

[@LISA75_]

all i thought when i saw the thumb nail was , Run FORREST Run, lol.

[@drewdavis7244]

Are you doing this for world peace? Forest Gump: I just felt like running.

[@tsgraphics1]

David Goggins' brother from another mother.

[@thebentley71]

His joints in his legs and arms are probably in bad shape, but his heart is so strong he will luve to be 120 easy.

[@kieronturner2667]

What with this chap and the hardest geezer running Africa I feel I can never moan about aches again 😂

[@lairlair2]

Me, struggling to finish a single sprint triathlon: ok then.

[@Max-me9ol]

weirdly enough, when hes finished it will be werid for him waking up and realizing hes not running an ironman today.

[@martinpenrice]

Just amazing what people can do a guy near where I live Garry McKee done a marathon every day for a year 365 marathons and still worked as well he was in all newspapers and TV I did 5 with him not 5 consecutive 😂😂 it's amazing what people can do

[@darrenhyde4781]
