Whilst I repeat that I have no interest in running anywhere, I have to admit that I am planning my own record attempt next year.
After my 60th birthday, I intend to do a yoyo hike of the Bib. One direction with Annie at whatever pace she wants and then on my own back with full pack as fast as I can go (walking). I plan on averaging 25 to 30 miles or more a day (600mile trail). It wouldn't be an overall record and no one keeps age records but I think I can safely say it hasn't been done in under 4 weeks by someone over 60 yet. I think i could do it in close to 3 weeks although not under. The current supported record is a touch over 16 days. Scott would shatter that record at the rate he is going.
