an average of 54 miles each day

It also mention she ran 17 jours a day. I can't imagine the kind of energy it takes to keep that pace going for 40 days. Absolutely insane.

17 jours a day

Damn, she went to another planet?

How long is an hour on jupiter?

[-] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago

A Jupiter day is 10.5 Earth hours, so if we take the definition of 1h = 1/24 of a day, a Jupiter hour would be 10.5 / 24 = 26 min. So 17 Jupiter days fit well inside an Earth day, you got something!

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The more you spread that over the day the better. Higher intensity will kill you, you want lower intensity.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 27 points 2 months ago

I'm not sure two marathons per day can be qualified of lower intensity.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Both of you are kind of right. It's still an insane feat of endurance but averaging an 18 minute mile is pretty damn slow and likely zone 2-3 even in rugged terrain for an athlete like her.

High intensity isn't just a generalized term but specific to heart rate, lactate buildup, and anaerobic states.

A friend of mine regularly runs trail ultra-marathons. She calls it "assisted hiking".

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The amount of work done and intensity (the rate at which work is done) are two different measurements.

[-] oce@jlai.lu -2 points 2 months ago

2 marathons per day is a measure of intensity.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Seriously? There is a difference in intensity between 2 marathons over 17 hours, vs 2 marathons over 8 hours. The higher intensity is harder, that's why you get a medal for finishing fast.

[-] oce@jlai.lu -2 points 2 months ago

Indeed, what disturbs you in what I said?

[-] Threeme2189@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So is 0 marathons per day. Your point is?

[-] oce@jlai.lu -1 points 2 months ago

Nothing else, that it is also an intensity, despite what the reply seems to incorrectly imply. Did you understand something else?

[-] Threeme2189@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Of course it can. You just need to define what you're comparing it against. Surely two marathons per day is lower intensity than two marathons per half-day or 3 marathons per day.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago

Compared to the common sport professional performance, I would say. Not many people can do a marathon, less two in the same day, even less two per day during 40 days.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That’s like 3mph for 17 hours. Jesus…. That’s a lot of wheaties… by my back of the napkin calculations that’s burning like 4200 calories a day.

[-] CptEnder@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

3mpg for 50 miles is mind blowing. Starts to make sense how we're enduranc hunters.
