If you think extreme sports is only for the young – think again. The Asics Eternal Run has a start – but no finish. The athletes run until they can’t run any more. And, without putting any spoilers in, let’s just say the winner was no spring chicken. The runners set off across the wide expanse of the Utah salt flats, and have to maintain their pace until they can’t any more. When they have received three warnings about their pace dropping, they are out of the race. Interestingly, more than two thirds of the runners exceeded the distance they estimated. This is a measure of mental fortitude, as much as physical strength. Our friend Dan Sloane was part of the production team for this event – watch the video and be amazed.
