1,000 Straight Days of Ultras
Shannon-Leigh Litt ran an ultra every single day for 1,000 days. Ninety pairs of shoes did not survive it.
Not a streak of runs. A streak of ultras. Shannon-Leigh Litt has closed out 1,000 consecutive ultra-distance days in New Zealand, and the ledger reads like a typo: more than 51,000 kilometres covered, and 90 pairs of shoes worn to nothing.
1,000 days. 51,000 kilometres. 90 pairs of shoes.
Most runners have one great year in them. This is closer to three, with no day off, no taper, no weather clause. Do the division and it comes out past 50 kilometres a day, every day, through two and a half winters.
