Needed to eat more early on when you were feeling good and didn't think you needed to. The trick to ultra distance stuff is eating early, often and keeping your electrolyte and water balance in check either through a sports drink or salt pills. Chafing becomes a real issue too. Body glide, toe shaped socks (injinji) and of course shoes that are a good fit for your foot. Stuff I had to slowly learn over 10 years. Being on your feet, no matter how slowly you are moving for 24 hours is no joke though.
Did this a couple years ago. I started a bit after midnight and finished around 7 pm - 100,000 steps or a bit over 48 miles total. I walked all over my town for the first half then I did home treadmill for a while, then gym treadmill, then back to walking the local neighborhood. I was changing my socks a lot to keep my feet dry, taped/gauzed up all the spots I knew would rub on my feet. I also rotated among 4 pairs of sneakers. I run 50 miles per week so I knew I was up for it physically, but still wasn't sure what to expect. I was just fatigued for the next few days after. No blisters or shin splints or anything. The biggest challenges were boredom and then the last few hours where there was a mild but dull pain in my legs with the cumulative fatigue of hours upon hours of walking and then my mind constantly trying to convince me to stop. It was fun and I might do it again.
I did this in march, and completet it. We were a group of 3 starting at 3 am, and we did this in Norway so it was about -4 C when we startet. None of us dressed properly so we were all freezing at the start. We lost our first solider at 30k steps, thats also when we taped our feet, and then we lost another solider at 84k steps. I finished at 9:30 at night alone which means it took about 18,5 hours to complete the challange. From what i've learned i would recommend to eat a good breakfast, and pack snacks and meals for the upcomming hours. I had a candybar/granola bar/proteinbar every 2 hours and ate every 3-4 hours. I never ran out of fuel to push my body, which i think helped a lot. Keep in mind that you shouldnt pack heavy, and if you need to refuel have a "aid station" planned ahead. Pack some water but not alot, you dont want to have that exstra weight on you and having to pee that often. For the shoes i would chose something very light and something that didnt shafe anywhere on your feet. Shafing is the main reason we lost the first guy (he began bleeding early on because of inpropper shoe wear and lack of taping) I wore some very light 3 year old shoes for the most of the walk and felt fine. I also taped my big toe, the bottom of my feet, and my heels. I did not get any shafing or blisters because of that. Dress apropriatly for the weather! We didnt and it was really hard to walk around freezing. If you have the option, walk with someone. I had the hardest time walking alone the last 3 hours, and I really felt it at 90k. What helped was calling someone and getting some moral support ;). Also chose a route that is very long and doesnt make you walk in circles. It could be walking from one city to another. Or walking from town to town. I found it was easier to walk amnd ingnore the steps i had to walk ahead when I had somewhere to reach instead of just wandering around looking at my steps all the time. Don't look at your steps that often! It's not motivating at all. Look at them after you have reached a geofrafical checkpoint or every time you eat.
I tried this a few years ago. I got to 81000 steps. I didn't start at midnight like you. I meant to start at 8am but there was a huge storm so I only started at 11am. I figured I'd do it in a 24hr period. When at midnight my step count went back to zero from 81k... I was too discouraged to keep going. Legs up the wall bro. Like! As long as you can.
That’s amazing. The most I’ve done was 38k steps last year in December, the year before I did 35k…my legs were aching the next day lol. Looking forward to break my own record this coming December, aiming for 40k.
you did amazing, good job!! eating enough is KEY!! starting at midnight was the right move, i also recommend take a nap mid-day, soaking your feet in ice water, switching out your shoes and socks, and blister covers. and again, you need to eat more! sugar! you can totally do this. walking on grass is also easier than pavement or a treadmill, so try to switch it up :)
Glad you listened to your body and rested! Ultra distance is definitely something that requires specific training. Even if youre a great runner being on your feet for that long is going to kill
I tried this back in 2017 and only made it to 67k. I was so unfit back then but I’m in much better shape now and gonna try it with a friend next month, wish me luck!
Yay! Now I can send a video to people who think they can walk 50 miles. That's the response I get when I say I've ran a 50-miler. Oh I could probably walk it. No, no you can't. At some point, you can't even walk anymore.
For anyone curious... you don't need those stupid inserts to run or walk. Don't waste your money on something that's going to do nothing, or even inhibit your running
I tried something similar to this when I was a young man. I did no training at all, and I tried to walk from Springfield MO, to Monett MO. I started at 5pm (right after work) and ended up getting there around sun up. My IT band was totally shot, and I could not walk for a few days after. I should have done some training first.
I thought of doing this challenge but wanted to increase slowly, did twice 30,000 steps and then moved to 50,000 steps which I managed to do in 11 hrs. last 5000 steps was the hardest one so I definitely feel your pain after 50,000 steps. Great try though, my next target is 70,000 steps. lets see when I make it 🙃
Those Move Insoles definitely sound great for running. But for walking or just standing up, you should try MindInSole, they’re basically foot massagers
i feel like running 110 km in a day to get the 100k steps is more doable. Today i ran 14 miles which gave me 23k steps and felt pretty ok after. Tbf i was wearing asiscs gel-nimbus 25 which are op for long slow runs.
Did that a few months ago))) we were 3 friends and I'm the only one who finished. We left the house at 4 am and I came back home at 11 pm... it was hard my feet were blistered like never before. My died wasn't very good that day either tho I ate the best I could. It was hard and I definitely don't recommend doing that. I felt like I was about to vomit after 90,000 steps. I wanted to cry. One of my friends gave up half the way and the other friend left at 90k because she injured herself. THIS IS VERY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND CAN CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS SUCH AS BROKEN TISSUE THAT IS FROM PPROTEIN M
After completing a 22-mile ruck march with 35 lbs to bring awareness to veteran suicide, I was in pain…but Tyler, you blew me away with THIS 24-hour grind. Keep it up bro! 🫡
I worked this out it would literally be a CONSTANT pace of around 14:00/km wich isn’t super slow yes if your a good walker your time could slow down a lot near the end so fair play
Aye this video is so dope to see right now because I actually have been tracking myself on Strava and I got as far as 26.6 miles in one day. I love going around my area on all the backroads and walking to stores that are 5 miles away just to buy the smallest thing lol this week Im on pace for over 100 miles
Probably wise to walk them rather than run them as walking 2 miles burns the same amount of energy as running 1 mile. Normally running is better but if you're going for 100,000 steps (50 miles), then walking's better.
Why do people say the 3rd lap of a 1600m or mile race is the hardest? IMO the 4th lap is the hardest by a long shot, clear no-brainer because thats when you're emptying the tank and kicking so hard your legs go numb and everything hurts.

Good tips!!!
Chafing is how your sac rubs up against your leg and sticks and unsticks. Ammirite.
I appreciate the tips you gave a lot

I have been watching your videos from the very beginning, and they keep getting better and better
I hit 100,000 steps on may 30th of this year it was so awesome 52.57 miles it took all day!!!!
Hey congratulations on your 100k steps
Can you please tell me which shoes you wore for your 100k
Come back and tell us what shoes you used bro
Come on man spill the beans what shoes did you wear 😂👍
6:40 Damn that tan line 😂
Glad you listened to your body and rested! Ultra distance is definitely something that requires specific training. Even if youre a great runner being on your feet for that long is going to kill
Love your videos! Congrats on 40k almost ❤
ATX from the tn to the intro. Just moved away but miss it. Great job!
I tried this back in 2017 and only made it to 67k. I was so unfit back then but I’m in much better shape now and gonna try it with a friend next month, wish me luck!
How did it go?
Definitely a challenge I want to try! I think I've got the right strategy. I'll post a video later this summer to show :)
Let’s go Tyler uploaded finally ❤❤❤❤
1:16 hold up... my bf's name is Miles👀
This is a challenge I have wanted to try for forever! I might attempt it.
same man
@@DeBruyne2011Done it yet? How did it go?
@@Lukasen haven't done it yet im on holiday but i get back in a few days and some point during summer holidays im planning to give it a go

Ur so underrated you deserve like 10 mil atleast like bro only 50k? Damn
For anyone curious... you don't need those stupid inserts to run or walk. Don't waste your money on something that's going to do nothing, or even inhibit your running
Wow bro cool video thanks for putting in the work for us!
Well now I have to try this

Did you make it yet?
Did you make it yet?
3:38 “it’s not quite hard yet”💀
Thanks for the warning in the end 😉 I'm trying it tomorrow 😃
We need Tyler Csatari to see this
Those Move Insoles definitely sound great for running. But for walking or just standing up, you should try MindInSole, they’re basically foot massagers
Can’t fake this man absolute legend
I’ve done 80,000 before attempting 100k this weekend
I thought for sure you were gonna stop at 69k
i feel like running 110 km in a day to get the 100k steps is more doable.
Today i ran 14 miles which gave me 23k steps and felt pretty ok after.

You should try it again in a colder month, it’s way too hot right now for this
I did 28.5 miles walking one day was amazing! Took a little over 8 hours not counting breaks. Would 100% do again.
After completing a 22-mile ruck march with 35 lbs to bring awareness to veteran suicide, I was in pain…but Tyler, you blew me away with THIS 24-hour grind. Keep it up bro! 🫡

This challenge pushes your muscular system to failure whereas your cardiovascular system doesn't suffer at all.

Are you still doing this? Have you seen a change in your body?
Nice job that must have hurt like crazy nice video
Love the vids!
rolled af
I think if you prepared you could definetly do it.
Definitely*
@@GardenChess Bro whats the asterisk for?
I've gotten around 50k steps when I did a 28 mile hike last year. 100k is insane. I wasn't trying to walk at a high cadence, that would help.
Will Tennyson did this too. Love to see it the strategy in these!
Ask You Start 12:00am in night Until Stop Walking Time Have Garmin Watch Steps High 100,000 Steps in Days
Probably wise to walk them rather than run them as walking 2 miles burns the same amount of energy as running 1 mile. Normally running is better but if you're going for 100,000 steps (50 miles), then walking's better.
i think a mix might be best, since they are different motions and would prevent overuse where they don't overlap
How did you manage to track the whole challenge with an apple watch? Mine lasts like 8 hours max when tracking.
Today i reached a nice PR of just over 60500... 😂 78k? That is already amazing! Congrats
I got through 30k in a normal school day 😅😅
Should’ve trained working as a server or a bartender in a restaurant 😂. Stealing fries from the expo line is a must to survive
The tan line 6:27
Nice job!!
Try taking some magnesium citrate or glycinate to relax muscles and joints.
Fun fact: some woman does this every day!

Yo im in Austin. Let’s go again in a November.
yes
I know a 15 year old kid who did this in 16 hours 💀
Why do people say the 3rd lap of a 1600m or mile race is the hardest? IMO the 4th lap is the hardest by a long shot, clear no-brainer because thats when you're emptying the tank and kicking so hard your legs go numb and everything hurts.
Part 2?
Reminds me of Markiplier did this challenge before
Were you even able to walk the next day?😫
I’m going to do it
And? You did it?
Next up: Moab 240
My sister did 100,000 steps, she works at walmart
Then went to New York and walked it all
Should've worn crocs. You would have definitely made it that way
as long as he got em in sport mode
I can’t believe you can do all this and done have horrible lows.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tyler Speers: let’s walk 100 000 steps
Again Tyler Speers: walks 78000 steps! Not 100 000!
Sus
Again not seeing the art of a title. He said “could I complete 100,000 steps,” not “I went 100,00 steps.” He never said he was able to
Okay?, It doesn’t say he can walk 100,000,and 78,000 is insanely impressive .
At 1 like ill try
😮💨
If I was not training for a marathon I would totally do this. I would be afraid of getting injured and having to back out.
I’m fat
you're my favourite little monkey
weird how it never got dark. i call bs
Stealing markiplier’s vid?
