The Secret to Hitting your Goals in 200 mile Ultramarathons, FKTs, or Fastpacking Adventures

The 24-hour schedule is a strategy for achieving long-term goals, such as setting FKTs or finishing a 200-mile race. It involves breaking the goal into thirds and then further into 24-hour periods. Within each 24-hour period, the individual sets a mileage goal and allocates sleep time wherever it is needed most. The key is to use non-productive time for productive activities, such as sleep or rest. This flexible approach allows for adjustments based on the body's needs and helps maintain productivity. The 24-hour schedule has been successful in achieving FKTs and completing long-distance races.

You once told me when I asked for some FKT advice for a newbie that I should brush my teeth when I got tired. I actually did it and I’m pretty sure it worked. So I carried my collapsible toothbrush in my shoulder strap and had clean teeth for my hikes/FKT’s.
