Danny Westergard running Death Valley.

I have to say, that’s a run I’d love to do myself when I’m that age, but I don’t think I could afford the infrastructure it would need for me to survive it.

I already run 30km regularly, sometimes in temperatures as low as -13c and as hot as 30c. I’d probably try to do Death Valley mostly at night and deal with the cold.

That’s 218Km, so I’d probably have to run it evening and morning for a week to do it. That means surviving exposure during mid-day somehow (a nice AC tent to duck into to sleep?)
