10 Marathons in 10 Days: An Epic Journey To Fight Hunger (Extraordinary Documentary)

10 Marathons in 10 Days: An Epic Journey To Fight Hunger (Extraordinary Documentary)

Hey guys! I’m new here. I just found Mastodon after installing the Vivaldi browser.
I would like to share a series of short clips in the near future of me running the 496 Challenge by Sean Conway. You simply run each day a distance matching the day’s date (e.g. 1k on the first of the month, 2k on the second, etc.) in a month with 31 days. You’ll end up with a total of 496 kilometres at the end of the month. Sean, who gave himself the nickname “the endurance guy” says on his homepage that only 10% of those who start this challenge go on to finish it.
Well, I don’t know if that’s true. I did this challenge last month (May 2025) and managed to finish it. It was pretty hard in the last week. I finished 8 marathons in the past, so I’m not new to long distances, and I guess that helped me. Anyhow, I broke two personal records with this challenge: total distance per week and total distance per month.
I previously posted my clips to Facebook and Instagram and will share them here as well soon.

My favorite hypothesis: the persistence hunting hypothesis.
I don't know how many times I've watched this video:

Much needed time outdoors, playing in the snow on the safety team for the #HaworthHobble on Saturday, with the lovely James Hargan. Seeing some wonderful Spine folks and a lovely catch-up with the legend that is Martin Stone were excellent added bonuses!
Hopefully this is bringing an end to what I can only describe as some very tough recent times…

I. Cannot. Wait. 🤩
If you don’t know this race, look out for it. You don’t have to be a runner to find it incredibly engaging. And if you know the Pennine Way, you are guaranteed to love it!
268 miles
39,000 feet of climb
Derbyshire to Scotland
One trail
4 races
A whole world of excitement.
