No, sitting this one and the next one out. No more foreign trips for me before the World 24 Hour running championships in Seoul middle of October, as instructed by both my (running) coach and the Irish selectors. And most importantly, She Who Must Be Obeyed.

How does that work 24 hour running. Is there regulated break times. How the hell is it actually possible?

No regulated breaks, it's up to everyone to decide if they want to take breaks or not. Optimal strategy for most people is to try to keep moving for the entire 24 hours except for toilet breaks (some runners have mastered the art of taking their toilet breaks on the move but I'll spare you the gory details).

Our cavemen ancestors often did this sort of thing when they were on a hunt, so the human animal is physiologicaly capable of it, even if it's just nutcases like me who did it for no good reason these days.

For a very long and somtimes gory personal account of the mental sickness that is the World 24's, I wrote an account at http://www.rahenyshamrock.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=443&Itemid=36

Believe it or not, the 24 hours is almost a sprint by comparison with some of the other races around that include 48 hour races, 6 day races and one 5000K race in New York every summer (run as laps around a square) that the winner typically takes 40 something days to complete.

looks like Tony Cascarino is going to take this down, currently a 16/1 chiplead heads up.

So is he Irish, French or English if he wins this?

Just seen that he did take this down, fair play.
