Trying to run 500K in one month (Days 16-23)

Unlike shorter 5K ad 10K runs, the exhaustion of multi day running, ultra marathons and trail running can creep up on you quite unexpectedly.
Running 500km, the equivalent of 100 parkruns or 11.8 marathons, is a physical and mental experiment that tests the body's resources. Energy levels can drastically fluctuate, and that is something I discovered during this period of running 10 miles every day without a break.

[@thisisjogon]

Very kind of you to say, takes effort to put it all together but I just love it. Very grateful for anyone watching. Cheers

[@halion4487]

These videos are really inspirational. Even on your worst days you’re bright and uplifting. I can’t wait for the next one

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Halion - just wait for the video where I lose it and begin throwing my running shoes into a nearby river.

[@shaundrew3600]

Love it Harry " I dont know what went into that granola this morning but WOWEE" 😂😂🧡

[@thisisjogon]

Since finishing Shaun I've had to ease off on the granola due to the slight dip in calorie burn - how middle class.

[@garymitchell277]

Morning Harry. Another slick running video. Fame and fortune beckons! Full range of emotions on view. Keep it up(oooh er missus) Gazz in Boring Barnstaple. 🍉🍉

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks as always Gazz, one day I will have to bring 'JOG ON Live' to Barnstaple.

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

'It's so nice being back on tarmac' is something I don't think I've ever said 😂 Great job on capturing it all on video Harry, looking forward to the next instalment 👍🏃

[@thisisjogon]

Glad you enjoyed it - then again I'll take snow any day.

[@clairel3730]

Brilliant effort Harry 😀

Thanks Claire, my legs haven't fallen off... yet.

[@richardcornelius5502]

Well done Harry!👍💪

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Richard

[@MT-kl5kt]

It's been really interesting following this challenge, and seeing the ups and downs of the consistent distance every day. Awesome job so far, looking forward to the last installment!👌🏼

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you as always Max - there were many ups and downs, and more to come.

[@barnabybeere1557]

Well done Harry, amazing running in some very challenging conditions - looking forward to the final film!

[@thisisjogon]

Many thanks Barnaby, it still ain't over.

[@timstriathlonjourneys7575]

Great series of videos Harry. Your both mad and inspiring in equal measures,

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks Tim, I'm only sorry I can't provide the cycling and swimming side of things for you, we're a bit 'travel by foot' heavy on this channel so you'll have to excuse the running purism.

[@ThisRunnerLovesPurpleYT]

I look forward to your updates. Another amazing set of runs! Well done 👏👏👏

[@thisisjogon]

I will have to start including more purple in your honour.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Well done Harry. Can certainly tell it was getting tougher at this stage of your challenge. Looking forward to the next episode and seeing how it all finished.

[@thisisjogon]

Thanks 👍

No blisters or cramp yet? ........they're my achilles heel....ahem ;)

I am lucky with my feet, and just wearing shoes with plenty of room.

I’ve arrived a little late to the party but better late than never! - loving this 500k series. Incredible!!

[@thisisjogon]

Great thank you Chris

[@61js]

Good lord, talk about a weeks of the proverbial ups and downs. I was knackered just watching this while nursing a hot cup of tea and eating chocolates after an early raid on Christmas supplies.

[@thisisjogon]

That's a great way to consume JOG ON videos, and chocolates.

[@bex82uk]

I’m a bit late to the party on this one but wowzers, impressive👍🏻

Never late - always welcome Becky, thank you for watching

We are humans, we are made to move, not just sit around or stand around. You're so funny and those moments should be edited together haha!! 6:28 jelly babies what a name 🤣

[@thisisjogon]

Love it Caroline

[@paulcook7426]

I know I'm watching this 18 months down the line, and I was going to ask this anyway, but your penultimate day here pushes me towards the question, but why did you choose to do the exact same distance every day?!

[@thisisjogon]

Just the consistency, and something poetic in ‘10 miles everyday for 31 days’ also it’s the only way of running he shortest distance, any change to get 500K in and you will have to run more than 10 miles in a day, and for me the trade off of having a rest day just to then run 15-20 miles on a another day, wasn’t so efficient, but I think it would be interesting for someone to take it on and try something different as an approach.
