Hey, it's Ben Greenfield here, and I did not just as my voice may imply come down with

a bout of pneumonia or bronchitis, get hit by a bus or run over by a train.

I actually just did the world's toughest motor, which is 24 hours of a five mile obstacle

course consisting of everything from heavy carries to rope climbs to an ungodly amount

of dips into cold water for swims and leaps over giant chasms on ropes, everything

that could possibly be thrown at one during 24 hours was thrown at my body during those

24 hours.

So I will admit that I am a bit sore, but I wanted to give you a little bit of a taste

of how this went and how it all worked out for me.

In case you ever want to go out and do some epic endurance feed, hopefully you'll come

way with a few takeaways from this event.

Now you should know that over at youtube.com slash Ben Greenfield fitness, that's youtube.com

slash Ben Greenfield fitness, I did really say world's toughest motor packing video.

And if you go there and do a search for toughest motor, you'll see everything from the gear

to the nutrition to the clothing to the footwear to pretty much everything that I use for

this particular event.

Should you ever go slightly insane and decide that you too want to compete in a massacistic

feat of endurance.

Anyways, back to the race.

So the race started with five miles of one loop of the world's toughest motor course

without any obstacles.

I felt great during those five miles.
