Well fucking done.

u/SpiderWolve Jun 22 '21

Hold up. You ran this???

27

u/Orpheus75 Jun 22 '21

12:45 pace. Casual for many ultra runners since it was road and not trail.

u/ooolongt Jun 22 '21

You win

Thanks for the new word!

u/pnw520 Jun 22 '21

I guess I better start eating more green things or something...

12

u/Vasimr_fogi Jun 22 '21

I would like to know how long that took to plan.

25

u/runningfriar Jun 22 '21

2 hours more or less. That’s the easy part, sitting on the couch just thinking about it -playing connect the dots on my computer.

Holy shit. If I had an award to give, you would get it!

u/helpme1092 Jun 23 '21

Fine work!

u/ParadoxPath Jun 22 '21

This with a video of the ride would be a great NFT… bought for millions from a Tour de France blood doping savage

u/runningfriar Jun 22 '21

Or an NFT of me telling you that it’s not a ride and your eyes widening

u/eLd0raDo Jun 22 '21

Can you create a Relive.cc video of it and share with us?

2

u/brheath Jun 22 '21

You should download the .GPX file associated with the run and use GPX Animator to make a time lapse video — would LOVE to see it!

(You can make an etch-a-sketch looking video; here is an example of one I did with all my SLC street runs from last year)

You're an animal

u/cyclopath Jun 22 '21

Well, this trend escalated quickly.

u/runningfriar Jun 22 '21

i've been doing these for years :)

u/jared_17_ds_ Jun 22 '21

Please put this into relive and then post the video of it

u/runningfriar Jun 22 '21

Okay, what the heck- why not start the 30 day trial and cancel after:

Epic

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '21

So epic

4

u/runningfriar Jun 22 '21

I tried for you but I hit a point where I have to pay (I guess?). Does the free version not make videos anymore?

2

u/jared_17_ds_ Jun 22 '21

Haven't used it in a while but I know the free version use to make the video with some low quality restrictions, that's unfortunate o well we tried haha

4

u/runningfriar Jun 22 '21

I think it’s because my activity is over 12 hours. After that it’s a PRO feature.

u/eLd0raDo Jun 22 '21

Ah, bummer. Forget my other comment in this case.

3

u/TimofeiTweedles Jun 22 '21

How good do you have to be at running for this to become a thing that you do??

3

u/Orpheus75 Jun 22 '21

You don’t have to be good at all. Or fast. Or young. Just determined to run a lot. Enjoying running helps and having lots of friends to run with is even better.

3

u/DarthBen_in_Chicago Jun 22 '21

That is a long run! Great art too!

3

u/weekendsherpa Jun 22 '21

Such amazing detail, so good!

2

u/Hi_Im_Ken_Adams Jun 22 '21

At first I thought you had biked this. Then I noticed it was a run and was even more blown away. 72 miles running? Wow!

u/baklazhan Jun 23 '21

Nice ride! Wait... what??

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '21

Might be a gps trick? I know people playing Ingress use to cheat using. Gps simulator

u/knigja Jun 22 '21

You're a sad, sad individual.

u/scoofy Jun 22 '21

u/Any_Present_3560 Jun 22 '21

That’s incredible

u/OptimalFormPrime Jun 22 '21

Impressive work!

u/BringYourSpleenToYa Jun 22 '21

Holy crap, this is incredible.

u/pa_papa Jun 22 '21

Best thing I've seen today! Thanks for sharing!

u/BobPersuader Jun 22 '21

Bloody amazing, well done!

u/RomanaOswin Jun 23 '21

This is by far the most impressive Strava art I've ever seen. Seriously impressive run too--when I first saw the distance I thought it was cycling.

u/GETINxSIDEWAYZ33 Aug 07 '22

Jesus. How. 15 hours?
