Zach Bitter 100 mile American Record

[@davidlee42]

Imagine how long my man's playlist is...

[@denisgulyakin5262]

12 hours?

[@nathanhowell16]

I was wondering how his phone lasted that long

[@BeanDip125]

11 hours and 55 minutes

[@flance81]

lol

[@najgauner]

10 hours of slav hardbass

[@kargatapastubo]

For a100 miles with a 7:01 min a mile pace is just out of this world .... Hands down sir...

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

I agree that it is quite impressive. Considering that he probably never stopped to take a rest or grab some snacks. He had a crew to hand the snacks to him, apparently. Otherwise, he'd have to have gone faster to make up break time... BUT it wasn't fast enough to get the world record for the 100 miler. Just the American record...by beating his own previous record.

[@antdx316]

No wonder the special forces times exist the way they are. He should have a lot of tutorial how to videos. He should also be sponsored by what he takes. No doubt what he does works.

[@ThePocketPugilist]

It can't be true

[@crynoking]

My guy looks like he's running 8-9 minute pace, not 7. No way he's running 7 right there. I run a 21 minute 5K, and it's much faster than that.

[@piedoom]

watch the whole clip and time how long it takes him to do 4 laps

[@dant828]

That would be mind numbing to do 100 miles on a track

[@prodigy2627]

Dantay everyone is complaining about track is so bad, what is so bad about track?

[@bradleygeorge50]

Prodígy That’s 400 laps around, the same thing over and over.

[@prodigy2627]

Bradley George oh, why is that bad

[@bradleygeorge50]

Prodígy it’s just extremely boring and mind numbing lol. Usually 100 mile races are through trails through the woods where runners see something different all the time.

[@mikephalen3162]

The one good thing is that you had to change direction every couple hours or so.

[@JonMo94]

When Usain Bolt got his 100m world record, thousands were watching him and cheering him, for just 10 seconds! But Zach! he ran for 100 miles at 7 minute pace and set the american world record on an empty track, with only a handful of people cheering on him.

[@GrandmasterJoel1273]

+Jonathan Morales pantoja One of the greatest comments ever!

[@AravaipaRunning]

+Jonathan Morales pantoja Pretty incredible huh?

[@jasondizon741]

+Jonathan Morales pantoja They are both equally amazing. Zach should have some more attention!!!

[@LibertyStudiosMachinima]

honestly. Zach's accomplishment was harder. Sure Bolt can run faster, and Zach can run farther, but to stay focused and do that same thing for so long. That's crazy.

[@JonMo94]

Agreed. I can't understand how he can physically run for 100 miles, let alone how he can mentally run around a 400m track for 12 hours straight without going crazy. Like seriously, most people train to run 26.1 miles, but zach runs 20+ miles everyday in order to train for 100k's 100 miles, etc.

[@kov1]

What an incredible accomplishment. What makes it even more incredible to me is that it was done on a track. I cannot imagine what it's like to run one and the same lap for almost 12 hours..

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

I think it is much better than the other 12/24 hour races where you are on some 1 mile lap that has potholes, uneven ground, and some slight elevation changes such as mild inclines and mild declines. A flat, level, all weather cushioned track is far better.

[@TheInterestingInformer]

Tuesdays Runner he meant it would be boring

[@randallanimal]

Did he change directions? Because him and another runner were running opposite directions.

[@alexokin6819]

I havent been close to his level but as a distance runner when you see something so mental, the mind ceases to become an option rather than it posing issues

[@Stickymon5]

It must of been the best feeling in the world to just sit down and chill and talk to people after doing that which must've been the worst feeling in the world to run laps around a track for 12 hours straight. Dude total respect for u

[@kayodemolen8210]

@Bradley Adams thank you going down hurts almost as much as the workout

[@rhysnichols8608]

400 times around the track. Must have had some serious day dreams on this run!

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

He said that about mile 70 or so it started with a big hamburger... They should have had a bike rider with a hamburger being waved at him to make him go faster...

[@rhysnichols8608]

That's good motivation haha

[@maggie0285]

What’s worse running 100 miles on the track or 100 miles on the treadmill?

Nearly ran 4 marathons around a track. I don't know what would be worse: the physical or mental adversity?

[@TheInterestingInformer]

Flaw if I’ve learned anything in my great 3 weeks running cross country, it’s that the main hurdles are mental. Once you are in the right mind frame, you can do a lot more.

[@cosplayersunionentertainme2987]

Man you guys are complaining about how much pain it takes to do 100 miles. What about the joy of such an accomplishment, that always trumps the pain. Take it from me I just finished running 108 miles in a 24-hour race two days ago.

[@karlosmartinez260]

I would get so bored running this on a track, and I would get extremely tired so props to this guy for doing this, and especially at a 7 minute mile pace

[@zackdisharoon6239]

Rusty Daines I wonder if he ran 400 laps and then 900 meters after that to truly make it 100 miles

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

Zack, that is a wonderful point. You should check with the timers, on how many laps he actually did...he may have been short!!!

[@Linkmon99]

Absolutely incredible. I ran a marathon (not even much quicker of a pace than what he was doing) and I know by the last 5K my body was begging for it to be done, he did almost 4 times that. There's not many things which would be harder to do for almost 12 hours straight than this.

[@superpe]

hell yea use a burger as motivation to set a record haha

[@Jvanzterr]

same Im a runner as well and 10 miles around a track is hell imagine 400!!!

[@josphellihsilak4588]

It's overwhelmingly boring, no scenic motivation, but for me, there's something calming about being able to count down your laps. I do 100 400m loops on a track every so often, and counting down my laps is somewhat motivating.

[@tuesdaysrunner4038]

Josphelli, 25 miles around a 1/4 mile track? For a workout? That is incredibly monotonous. I'd at least want some eye candy...like maybe the entire Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in uniform cheering me on??? They really love me...

I don’t get it. He is starting off at 6:53 per mile and looks like he is running slow. He’s that efficient. The only thing I noticed was the power in his push off. That’s how I knew he was running fast.

[@zero2583]

I ran a 6 flat mile consistently in 8th grade in 96. Last time i clocked myself in a mile was in 2005, i ran a 8:20 then got it down to 7:30 within a month running nightly. No way i could run it under 10min now. Aging takes its toll quick if you dont keep working out. Zack is a beast!
