I Tried Running Across an Entire Continent

Time to see if the earth really is flat…

Check out the Mount To Coast R1 – https://noxl.ink/18NLPj
The R1 is extremely durable for long runs featuring new ZeroSag technology that was co-developed with BASF. Originally used in the suspension systems of race cars, it guarantees extraordinary cushioning on the longest runs. The R1’s are extremely light, weighing only 240g! Thanks again to Mount To Coast for sponsoring this video!

I’m in Italy and now I’m in Switzerland and for the next 24 hours straight I’m going to be running I’m going to see how far I can possibly run what country will I end up in will I get arrested can come with us now and with running potentially over 100 miles will I seriously injure myself well I just pass mile two and I’m feeling really good I mean basically just do that like 200 more times maybe super easy right the switchbacks were pretty crazy I descended over 2,000 ft over the first 5 miles but this journey isn’t just downhill I’m heading into some of the most mountainous areas of Europe running through the night means that there are several threats like potentially being run over by a car wild animals and worst of all sleep deprivation which can cause a whole list of problems I’m running like 8 15 pce looking good I’m going to need to fuel properly throughout this run in order to run as many miles as humanly possible which means I’ll be eating the most nutritionist Foods on the planet hows I get 3 minutes 3 minute break this is like Swiss Pringles I think they look just like Pringles spoiler alert they T just like Pringles but seriously for some reason I actually did forget my typical nutrition plan which may come back to bite me timer just went off my 3 minutes are up got the headphones I’m dialing in so I just passed mile marker 10 I have gone down roughly I would guess around 3,000 ft of elevation that’s a massive number generally going downhill is a huge plus if you’re a runner however I’m not used to running downhill I’m from Texas it’s freaking flat in Texas it might not look like it on camera but it’s definitely playing a role on my quads but you know what they say what goes down must come back up I have some crazy climbs ahead of me look at this I mean come on have you seen a more beautiful run in your life and while I took in the insane views I couldn’t help but question my life choices fully knowing that I legitimately have like 22 hours left of running think about that 22 hours when was the last time you did anything for 22 hours we out here baby the legs just got warmed up time to get some miles y I’m about 13 mil in and my legs are starting to feel pretty good however the true test is is going to be running through the night which I’m fairly nervous for as the sun was setting I was beginning to realize that this is going to be a heck of a lot harder than I originally thought mile 14 and2 still have a long ways to go I mean I’m only 2 hours and 13 minutes in and one thing I forgot to tell you all about is that I actually just started shooting this video as soon as I got to Europe Isaac and I flew overnight to get here so I’m running off about 2 hours of sleep going into the night going to put the headlamp on 8 hours of Darkness let’s get it the sun was set and the unthinkable happened hello hello hello Highway this is the highway where do I get off we call off no okay I I didn’t I I apologize greatly I didn’t know I was breaking the law I’m I’m deeply sorry is there any way I can resolve this whever identity card with you I I don’t um I have a follow car and they’re they’re about a mile that way and the follow car has my my um identity in it my passport and my driver’s license are you are you already filming though this is a oh sorry this is a microphone it’s always on um got in the car sat down told these guys like listen I’m a YouTuber we’re making a video I run a lot and they were really gracious they took me to the road that I was supposed to be on and we’re like hey don’t go back on the highway I come believe I almost went to Swiss police oh my gosh Swiss prison they probably have like huge TV screens and like chocolate and like they give you a whoop to track sleep or something I can imagine it it’s probably beautiful what was I thing I should have gone idiot yeah I almost just spent a night in a Swiss prison 4 hours 8 minutes in I would never drink Red Bull but Desperate Times Desperate Measures before things get a little scary it’s like 11:15 p.m. I’m running off of very very very little sleep from yesterday we’re looking at potentially decent amount of uh hallucinating or something of that sort I already ended up on the other side once and was like how did I get over here but I do have these guys so as long as they don’t get too far ahead of me yeah go sleep don’t make me pour this Red Bull on you yeah we just booked an i at the Hilter oh frick and after 8 hours in Pitch Darkness the sun was finally coming up how’s it going man I wish I could transport to the end I’m so tired 47.8 miles oh that’s a lot of miles folks I had slowed down quite a bit but I’m still on an insane pace and falling apart 10 hours in sweet Mama Juju this was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be truly I thought thought I was going to wreck this challenge recking me this is the perfect example of my personality constantly coming up with these lofty ideas that I think are literally too easy only to discover that it is far more difficult than I originally thought but you know what that makes life a heck of a lot more fun and as I entered my third country the sun was rising and I was finding that extra energy that I needed I just passed mile 62 I am now officially running the furthest that I’ve ever run in my entire life in one effort and probably on the least amount of sleep oh my brain is absolutely Zapped but thankfully my feet are still in really good condition that’s cuz I’m wearing these new shoes they’re called the mount Coast r1s they’re actually super cool I’ve never seen a shoe quite like these before these shoes are built for maximum comfort and when you’re running like 50 m big efforts by the time you get about halfway through a race like that your feet get really swollen or at least mine do and when that happens you know you get blisters it’s really uncomfortable the r1’s have an adjustable toe box this is something I’ve never seen in a running shoe before which is really nice because when my feet get that way I can open up the toe box create more space and make the rest of the run just as comfortable most running shoes are really only supposed to last maybe 500 Mi if you’re lucky the r1s are tested for a ridiculous amount of miles so if you’re getting into long runs if you’re getting into running or if you’re getting into Ultras look no further these shoes are absolutely epic I highly recommend them they’re super comfortable check out the r1s the price point is really great use the link in the description and check them out I’m definitely going to keep wearing them still got like 11 hours left how the heck am I going to do this oh my as you can tell my form is starting to suffer and my muscles are getting incredibly tight making every step more difficult than the last cooking up out here warm thankfully the views were making the running quite a bit better this is probably the most fun view you’re going to get of me today I wonder what this looks like for you guys I also have to run really slow so don’t judge me it’s because it’s really bouncy and yeah it’s going to hit me in the face I’m pretty sure woo almost out of LED Stein so close and on to the next country yo I am uh in a severe amount of pain at the moment it’s m 67 oh my goodness gracious it’s a it’s a long day a long 24-hour day I have an not slept for a long time actually it’s concerning I I should see a doctor probably oh there’s people staring at me I’m running down the road with something crazy on my head o pizza that’s my favorite food I’m not going to lie if I saw me at this point I’d think I was crazy too I honestly don’t even remember recording that what up you tired or something no wide awake he’s acting like he’s around 70 M or something so dumb dude my left KNE is not having it running is very painful hamstrings are as tight as a guitar string I’m talking like I guitar string oh man painful painful but freaking cares man oh yeah fourth country let’s get it fourth country entering the chat bet you’ll never guess what it is woo lonstein followed by the great I actually don’t think it’s that great well I mean like it’s probably a fine country but nobody really cares about it Austria seems cool seems chill let’s going check out Austria that’s right fourth country in under 24 hours on foot I’m in Austria now cool beans it’s actually just so insane that you can on foot visit four five countries I don’t know I’ve been in four countries today that is wild four countries and less than 24 hours on foot I did not know that that was possible that’s so cool these are a lot of random thoughts from an extremely sleep deprived individual who’s ran way too many miles so since about mile 40ish I’ve been dealing with this really fun pain the back of my left knee pretty sure it’s my hamstring let me tell you it is painful both my hamstrings are just like absolutely shredded but my left knee is just not having it it’s kind of what I love so much about running you get to push your own limits and see what am I capable of like this challenge is just so silly how far can I run in 24 hours that’s just so ridiculous oh I love it I love running so fun Austria so sick how is this my job crazy all right guys in total y’all I ran through four countries got zero sleep burned over seven ,000 calories and ran a grand total of 71.3 mil I really thought I had over 100 miles in me at the beginning of the day sometimes things just don’t go the way that you think they will and you know what that’s okay I like I almost can’t walk this is so much pain oh my gosh why did I do this see you see you later
