Forum Members,

I've been reading as many Badwater race reports online that I can access (and Lisa Bliss, MD also reports this in her 2004 run) and I've noticed a common thread in several of them: runners usually run into trouble around mile 90 or so...

Is this a common occurrence? Will those who have run share if they encountered problems around mile 90 and at any other stages in the race?

Thanks,

Connie

I can't imagine running for that long! That's an incredible distance. I'm feeling pretty good about being able to make it a full marathon distance, but I guess I could just keep running after that! The only troubles I ever come across when I'm running are my ankles getting sore. I always wear ankle support though, so it's never too much of an issue. I would love to hear about the complications that people come across around their 90th mile.
