I'm a HUGE fan of this challenge, the sleep deprivation was definitely the hardest part for me. It felt SO good to cross that finish line though. Way to crush it 💪
Good Ol David Goggins convincing us to do things that suck! I did this challenge last year. I opted to go with no sleep because I didn’t want that hangover feel from only a little sleep. Awesome Job! Keep killing it!
A few friends were trying to get me to do the challenge this year... after watching your video I regret not doing it! Definitely happening next year. Thanks for sharing!
Just found your channel! I have watched lots of TRE videos and I really loved your tips. I'm binge watching the videos in this new channel, I LOVE them: you're so nice! Keep going girl! Oh, BTW, first months with a newborn baby feels like this challenge, with the difference that with a baby you cannot see the end of sleep deprivation 😁 Love from Italy. Stay safe
Thank you for vlogging this Holly! I hope to be a strong enough runner to do this challenge next year. You're such an inspiration. Ive run 2 half marathons now 😁
Wow! This really inspires me :) also it seems so fun to be able to do this with a good friend! Did you guys get to connect with other runners who were doing the challenge?
Way to go Holly & Kenzi! What an insane challenge! I will do it! I also want to do a Backyard Ultra 100 mile challenge run (24 x 4.167 miles). The backyard ultra is a form of ultramarathon race where competitors must consecutively run the distance of 6706 meters (4.167 miles) in less than one hour. When each lap is completed, the remaining time within the hour is typically used to recover for the next hour's race.
Just found your channel today and loving it! Binge watching your videos. Getting motivated, after being in a bit of a running rut since last Saturday, (April 17, 2021). Thanks for sharing your awesomeness! Definitely subscribing!
This was so great to watch, you made it look easy!! Would love to do this challenge some day, you've inspired me 💪new subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ (discovered you on the run experience), have binge watched all your videos, loving your content!! X
Hey Christina! So glad you found my channel! You can definitely handle this challenge one day. Probably sooner than you think - I kind of love it for any level of runner! Thank you for watching.
How long did it take to run each session (Average time maybe)? It takes me about 50 minutes to run 4 miles. I'm concerned that would deteriorate as the runs went on and it would just become a continuous ultra for me at one point.
Hey John! Great question. Secretly, I think that's David Goggins' point of the challenge. As it gets worse/tougher conditions, can you prevail and make it work? It took us about 40 minutes per run. Once we had a sleep/eating strategy locked in, we didn't notice our time changing too much so that was good.
Ahhh... to be young and able to do stuff like this! LOL That's not me :) I really enjoyed watching this video; congrats to both of you for that great accomplishment. There were a ton of ads but I can put up with them for good content like this. Thank you!
Great Job ladies -- guess I was still thinking the "48" was the number of hours so you would need to do 13 runs / 52 miles to start the last run 48 hours from the initial -- Personally I was going to plan to try 7 runs to start the last run 24 hours from the first -- Thank You for all the inspiration
I did a few of those runs with a buddy who told me Friday afternoon that he was doing it. Question for you. You show your self slipping the shoes on. Those are not the laces that came with the shoes, are they elastic? Why do you choose those over regular laces?
That's cool you did part of the challenge! These are actually the laces that came with the Hokas! I'm just lazy with the tie/untie so maybe they looked elastic lol.
Thank you for watching!! I actually picked this particular part of SoCal specifically for the route. The strand from hermosa to manhattan beach is one of my top 3 places (so far) to run in the world no question!
As a coach I advised people against this .. .first, just because someone creates a "challenge" does not mean it is an actual challenge ... or something you should do ... this simply is not good for you and lots of other things are a better challenge ... I'm thinking run a 5k and eat a pound of bacon.
Not too fast haha! We stayed around 9 1/2 - 10 min miles. We were slower at night. And you saw at the last mile my friend took off and dragged me! It was awesome.
Can you share a link to the balls you're using to roll out? They look like a really good size. I usually use a lacrosse ball, but it's quite small to use on quads and hammies.
Yes I will! I agree, lax balls don't do the trick for the larger leg muscles. Here are the ones we used in this video: www.amazon.com/Tune-Up-Fitness-Self-Massage-Performance/dp/B00NP280XY/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=tune+up+balls&qid=1619404307&s=hpc&sr=1-7
Good question! These were actually sold to me as a hybrid shoe that can do either/or. I just love the feel and fit of them and know I've never had an issue in them on any surface. For this type of challenge, I wanted to give myself the best shot!
Sounds a tiny bit like Relay Iowa. We run 339 miles across Iowa over the course of 3 days and 2 nights. The difference is we don't stay in hotels. We sleep on the ground, minimal showers and clothes changing. You are also running alone (mostly).
I do NOT understand this type of outrageous challenge.............it is not safe/healthy for the average person. If you are trying to prove you are tough enough...........I would ask who are you actually trying to prove what too whom? yourself????
@Trex Me why not add some water boarding in!! So in just the attempt is the brave part?? I do not idolize GOGGINS like many do. I find him obnoxious and redundant. He was bullied, he was fat, he was poor!! Now he swears and screams at people and profits. AND DON'T FORGET to POST the challenge on social media !! Attempting to run/sleep/run is NOT all that impressive anyway!! EVERYONE gets a trophy!!
@Trex Me I am glad you found humor in my comments. I did not mean anything hurtful. I just think people need to dig deeper into themselves mentally and spiritually. The will find their own self worth and character and then exceed accordingly. I feel many of these challenge takers have low self image and can find peace and comfort by doing such. Being able to do these things are only a small piece of puzzle.
Any challenge by Mr Goggins is going to be insane. Good job.
Agreed and thank you!
I'm a HUGE fan of this challenge, the sleep deprivation was definitely the hardest part for me. It felt SO good to cross that finish line though. Way to crush it 💪
So cool you did it too! It was a really cool experience I agree.
“Focusing on not getting hit by cars” - I feel this, cars have almost hit me way too many times while I was in a crosswalk!
Lol it's scary out there!
Never a BAD IDEA to challenge your limits. Killing it, keep challenging yourself!!
sorry, but what a dumb sentence.
I did the challenge this weekend and your log of your attempt was very useful... Thank You Holly...!!!
Congrats! And good! I’m glad it helped.
Did this last fall Holly. It was next level, but I learned a ton about myself. Be extremely proud!
Thank you Danny! And back at you, awesome job!
really enjoyed this Holly....great idea to go do it in a scenic place! Hmmmmmm :-)
I did this for a fundraiser this year. Lack of sleep was the toughest part. You killed it!
Ps you are my favorite trainer! Goals
You're the best thank you!
Good Ol David Goggins convincing
us to do things that suck! I did this challenge last year. I opted to go with no sleep because I didn’t want that hangover feel from only a little sleep. Awesome Job! Keep killing it!
Wow, that's true warrior status with no sleep! DG is the best.
Great information! I am running this challenge in a month. Thanks for showing a real account of the good/bad/ugly. Great Job!
Glad this helped!! Good luck.
A few friends were trying to get me to do the challenge this year... after watching your video I regret not doing it! Definitely happening next year. Thanks for sharing!
Next year for sure! You'll love it.
Love David Goggins too. So cool that you did the 4x4x48! Way to go, Coach Holly! 🎉🙌🏻❤️ thanks for bringing us along for the ride..well run.. 😉
I really respect you. In a word...your tough. You've got grit which will get you far in life. Keep pushing.
Thanks, this means a lot!
How exciting! I enjoyed this video so much🎉
So glad! Thank you for watching.
Amazing, coach Holly! 💪

Thank you Alice! This means a lot that you're liking the content. I've got lots more in the works. Haha good to know about babies!
I used to live in Hermosa Beach. Good Stuff Restaurant was super tasty & you can watch people playing volleyball most of the year.
Good Stuff is my fav!!
Thank you for vlogging this Holly! I hope to be a strong enough runner to do this challenge next year. You're such an inspiration. Ive run 2 half marathons now 😁
You’re awesome, David! Keep up the great work.
Fantastic effort, well done. I did the challenge this year, defintely the hardest thing I've done.
It's so hard, isn't it?!
@@gofarsogood It's very hard, testing every part of you to the limit.
Wow! Good job ladies! 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! This really inspires me :) also it seems so fun to be able to do this with a good friend! Did you guys get to connect with other runners who were doing the challenge?
Thank you for the comment! It was such a cool experience. Yes, we connected with many! That's the coolest part of doing it I think.
Awesome and so inspiring!! Well done you two!!!

Definitely on my list! That one seems so intense but would be awesome to complete.
You two are amazing!! Well done on completing a tough challenge. Those night runs must have been so hard. Huge respect!! 🎉🎉💪💪👍👍
They were! We were so tired as you can see haha. Thank you!!
Great effort guys. You made it look easy although I'm sure it wasn't! Loving the channel
Not easy, but so fun to tackle! Thanks so much for the comment and watching the channel :)
You are so strong and inspiring! Thank for sharing this... Hope to be strong enough one day to do this crazy challenge!
No doubt you will be! Just stick with it and remember that you can do anything in small steps. And thank you for the kind comment!
Loved this! Now I want to do it next year!
Do it!! Let me know if you need more videos on this.
Can confirm, that is a lot of steps! Well done 👍🏻🏃♂️🙂
Haha agreed! Thank you!
Yes - babies during first few months is this schedule or so. So you’ll be ready for that exhaustion 👍
Great job guys that was a rough one, My wife talked me into doing it with her I tell you the trying to nap in between was rough
Yes the napping was the hardest part! Congrats on you both doing it too.

Great video and great effort! Looks like you had fun, athough Im sure it wasnt easy! _Maybe_ one day I'll attempt it.. maybe not.. 😅
You should! Start thinking about it now and no doubt you'll be ready come next year :)
Awesome work guys!!

@@gofarsogood no worries, I totally get it!
Lol so true about the newborn schedule, although it’s more like every 3 hrs😂🐣
Ha, good to know!
Wow I’d love to do this one day😊

Looks like you picked a great location. What part of LA did u stay/hotel? It’s a goal of mine to do one day!
I did this in Hermosa Beach! Stayed at the Hampton. Hope that helps!!
@@gofarsogood Thank you!!
Much respect! Well done! What was your average pace? It looked quick!
Not too fast haha! We stayed around 9 1/2 - 10 min miles. We were slower at night. And you saw at the last mile my friend took off and dragged me! It was awesome.
did mine on cliff bars. Because of work started early, so did it on my own.
Makes so much sense on keeping the food simple! Congrats!
Yooo we did this last month as well. Was a nice mind strengthening event.
Awesome!! And agreed, great for the mind.
Tell your friend Kenzie, Go Griz!!

@@gofarsogood thanks! I'll check it out.
I've just bought a treadmill and I want to do this, but im down with the virus. I'll do this soon. I soo want to do this soon!!
Let me know how it goes!!
If you turned left at the 15:45 mark & went a couple blocks, I lived there. Haha.
What kind of gimbal do you use while running?
GoPro hero 8!
Why trail shoes? Just curious.
Good question! These were actually sold to me as a hybrid shoe that can do either/or. I just love the feel and fit of them and know I've never had an issue in them on any surface. For this type of challenge, I wanted to give myself the best shot!
Sleep depravation is one thing you need to educate yourself about. Read the book "Why we sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker"
Sounds a tiny bit like Relay Iowa. We run 339 miles across Iowa over the course of 3 days and 2 nights. The difference is we don't stay in hotels. We sleep on the ground, minimal showers and clothes changing. You are also running alone (mostly).
Yours sounds much more badass than mine, though mine was still really challenging! Good work.
This might sound weird but i feel like I’ve seen you on another UA-cam channel before
Haha not weird. You have probably seen me on The Run Experience channel.
@@gofarsogood yes that's it 😊
Pretty sure the out of focus camera was in focus for you at that point.
hahaha exactly.
Stay Hard.
Back at ya!
My god! I hope she had that tray stowed in the upright position during take off.
Oh, Holly! I hate to break it to you, but that sleep deprivation lasts the first 2 years of parenthood…and that’s if you only have 1 child!
That's what I hear!
Your friend is sooo tiny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪
She is!
@@gofarsogood i enjoyed the video! Might need to try this in the summer
For those tempted to do this next year .. .just say no ... do something good for you and fun.
