Key Points

• Run 1 mile every hour for 24 hours (total 24 miles) to train for extreme fatigue and learn how to stay awake and productive.
• Use a treadmill for low‑impact miles; it reduces joint stress and makes the hourly run easier.
• Contrast therapy (alternating hot/cold) after each run speeds recovery and helps drain the lymphatic system.
• Keep the body awake with short distractions (games, smoothies, cold water, quick chores) between miles.
• Customize paces: aim for a comfortable, steady pace (e.g., 8‑9 min/mi for beginners) and adjust in the Pacing app.

Workout Example

1. Start with a 2‑mile warm‑up run.
2. Every hour: run 1 mile (outside, on a treadmill, or a short loop) – keep it at a comfortable, conversational pace.
3. After each mile: take a 5‑10 minute recovery (stretch, contrast shower, or quick snack).
4. Between miles: work on a project (e.g., painting, Home‑Depot run, tree‑cutting) or do a quick mental break.
5. Repeat for 24 hours, totaling 24 miles.

Closing Note Give the 1‑mile‑every‑hour marathon a try—adjust the pace to suit your fitness level and log it in the Pacing app. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish while staying fit. Go for it! 🚀
