Intro: This is a quick summary of SALOMON PHANTASM 24 | Mixed relay team 24‑hour distance record attempt from Run4Adventure. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points:
- Four athletes (Ricky Lightfoot, Ali Lavender, Matt Rees, Abi Woolaston) ran in a 24‑hour mixed relay on a 400 m track.
- Each runner completed six 1‑hour segments, with a 3‑hour recovery break between segments.
- The team aimed to stay steady, practice fueling during short breaks, and let the body’s feel‑rate dictate the pace rather than forcing a specific speed.
- Mental resilience and team camaraderie were highlighted as critical for night‑time and sleep‑deprivation challenges.
Workout Example:
- Warm‑up 10 min easy jog.
- Run 1 hour at a sustainable effort (e.g., ~17 km in the hour, roughly 10 min / km).
- Recover 3 hours – focus on nutrition (quick carbs + protein) and short rest.
- Repeat steps 2‑3 five more times (total 6 hours of running, 15 hours of recovery).
- After each hour, refuel immediately (e.g., a gel + a small sandwich) to avoid appetite‑lull issues.
Practical Tips:
- Practice double‑runs with a 3‑hour gap to train your body to recover quickly.
- Keep hydration and easy‑to‑eat carbs on hand for the post‑hour refuel.
- Let your perceived effort guide the pace; if you feel strong, hold the pace, if fatigue hits, back off slightly to protect form.
- Use the team’s energy – a quick chat or high‑five during hand‑offs can boost morale.
