His total for the day was 71.8 miles, exactly where he wanted it at the end. Budjargal Byambaa went past 3700km in 36:02:49:29, then a lap later he reached 2300 miles in 36:02:57:26- both area distances he had never attained in a previous race before. Radu Budan went past 3800 km in 36:03:32:02. About 11 hours later he reached 2400 miles in 36:14:24:17.Wei-Ming Lo touched 4000km in 36:09:47:24. About three and a half hours later he reached 2500 miles in 36:13:27:23.

As it was mentioned yesterday, Annabel Hepworth withdrew from yesterday, with a plan to continue running. This morning she withdrew after 8.2 miles and visited a doctor. She decided she could not continue, as her right foot was not doing well. She finished with 2,185.95 miles/ 3517.945 km. She plans to recover here in New York, and stay near the race for the final 15 days or so. We miss Annabel the best and hope for her complete recovery.

Tarit. It seems we have helpers from all over the planet helping at this race. What inspires you to come here and help at this fabulous race?

Uddipan. I have been a runner for a very long time, and when I was competitively running, I really appreciated the incredible help and assistance that I got from the Sri Chinmoy Marathon team. So, once I finally retired from competitive running, I was inspired to offer that similar assistance myself. So I feel very much a part of this race, even though I am not running myself.

The challenges of running 52 days

Annabel Hepworth had a challenging day today.An original blister issue on the ball of her foot, together with the continual impact on the hard concrete surface, has led to some minor tissue damage, deeper in the foot. She is ahead of the curve to finish with a small cushion in her hand, so in mid-afternoon, she decided to go and rest for the rest of the day. It was a wise decision.

The race has a mandatory 6-hour break between 12 midnight and 6 am. Runners also plan short power naps into their day. These can be anything from 15 minutes to an hour. Adequate rest between long days on your feet is never enough to recover fully. That, in some ways, is the wonderful challenge of Multi-day running. Knowing that throughout the race, your body is deteriorating a little each day, and you are just managing that deterioration

Although the 3,100 runners pride themselves on hitting their targets each day, the effort required is immense, and every runner knows that in an event of this distance, on any given day, something can happen to bring them to a standstill. Annabel came to that point today. The support crew and the medics do their utmost to keep all the runners “out there “ logging up the miles. The runners also realise in a race with a time cut-off, if you take a long break, the clock doesn’t stop and keeps ticking. Sometimes the body just yells,“ I need a time out.” Rest is something , the 3,100 runners do not get a lot of. In five weeks pounding the concrete course, you never get enough rest to totally recover each day. Annabel will return in the morning, rested and rejuvenated, ready to resume running further than she has ever run before.
