About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

Andrea Marcato ran his best day since seven days ago, reaching 74.0 miles. The most significant of this day was that Andrea reached the half-way point in 20:16:55:08. He feels that it was his best in the five 3100s that he has attempted, and the previous four ones that he tried ended at the very top of the runners he had joined. Of course one still has to run the second half and get through the difficulty that can challenge any runner in the longest race. Will the body stay in constant forward movements; will the weather stay as superb as it has been for the next few weeks. Will cold, rainy weather hit the area as it sometimes does in late September and October?

Ashprihanal Aalto ran 67 miles today, but he just seems unable to reach 70-mile days as it has so often happened in his great performances that led him to nine victories. He has run with most of the great performers who have dominated the 3100 Mile Race. We will see how all the runners handle the next 31 days still remaining. Wei-Ming Lo has been moving ahead well in third place. Today he reached the 2300km mark in 20:15:46:15, which may be a tremendous age- 60 best ever.

  • Andrea Marcato: 74.06 miles/ 119.19km
  • Ashprihanal Aalto: 71.94 miles/ 115.78 km
