Ah thanks. Yes, I did notice the food stops. Marathon runners are more vulnerable to hitting the wall after mile 20 or so - although their food stops will be more like energy gels or sports drinks rather than a meal.

But yeah I'd be tired well before 300k! Well done again!

Conversely if I ran 2.6 miles I'd die, let alone 26. I'm puggled after 260 yards. :-)

Not interested in running 26 miles myself. Far more interested in a faster 10k...

Edited to add: Makes sense though: running uses the hamstrings and calves more, cycling perhaps the quads? I know my quads are really not conditioned to long aerobic exercise right now, as I'm working on my gait and so using them slightly more. I'm back to beginner running status as a result (that and the enforced break).

I dunno about muscles - what running doesn't work well with is me being asthmatic.
