Again bud, it's a different story outside when u are hitting inclines and such, the road is harder than a treadmill.
The Barkley Marathons is an ultramarathon trail race held in Frozen Head State Park near Wartburg, Tennessee. If runners complete 60 miles (97 km) this is known as a "fun run". The full course is 100 miles (160 km) (distances are approximate). The race is limited to a 60-hour period, and takes place in late March or early April of each year.
The Barkley course was designed by Gary "Lazarus Lake" Cantrell. His idea for the race was inspired upon hearing about the 1977 escape of James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., from nearby Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary. Ray covered only 8 miles (13 km) after running 55 hours in the woods. Cantrell said to himself, "I could do at least 100 miles", mocking Ray's low mileage. Thus, the Barkley Marathons was born.[1][2] Cantrell named the race for his longtime neighbor and running companion, Barry Barkley who, at 70 years of age, passed away on December 5, 2019.[3] It was first run in 1986.[4]
Depends on goals, age and course. If you want to increase pace start getting serious with interval training, lunges and speed days. You’re looking at just over a 6 min pace I think. That’s attainable but requires focused effort.hey @bignewt how big of a deal is a sub-20 minute 5k? seriously.
