I see Tarzan is now recording tracks. He just appears to be going up and down the Miami coast. pfft

How can recovery possibly be a 'known'?

Has he cycled 200 miles per day for 365 days with that body?

Success ain't assured. This is the hardest thing Steve has done. He's prepared as well as he can, but there's only one way to answer some of the questions.

 

[ChrisV]

I can't get my head round it. It's the everyday part.

At Easter, he'll have been doing it for over 100 days, and still have 8 months to go.

Every single day!

If he does this, it'll be the biggest feat of human endurance, ever!

Who also carried on for the full 100,000 miles

He was doing the South Florida Randonnee 300km.

Now that's a glitch for the record books! I think he is claiming 230.7 miles for the day.

Should give it a go in your 7 weeks off in the summer !

Should give it a go in your 7 weeks off in the summer !

I reckon committing to 20 a day without a day off would be pushing it!

Or 30 a day, and an extra 30 somewhere, would be 1500 miles for 7 weeks.

Not very impressive really!

I don't know how his heart rate can be so low for these rides. I only get down to 110 when I'm stopped at the lights. He's doing 25 km/h at a HR of 85 bpm

Steve is a supremely fit person anyway. The routes he is taking are pretty much flat.

 

[Banjo]

Supremely fit doesnt cover it.This is an unimagineable challenge for us mere mortals.
The only similarity between me and Steve Abraham is we both like big breakfasts apparently.

There is always the bloke who's record he is aiming at.

And then there's the woman who's just been on the radio. She's trying to go a whole year without beer and ciggies.
