Kilian Jornet starts his attempt at the 24hr running record in Norway in about 15 mins time. I think that has to run over 303km!! Will be interesting to see how a runner steeped in trail and mountain running is going to cope going round and round on a track
You can follow here
Not the best supported event ever staged, looks a bit chilly there, good luck to him, currently 5min kms
I think they were late starting as had to defrost the inside lanes of the track first.
Thereās an ST thread on it too, the record is apparently 188 miles, avg 7:38min/miles (I couldnāt do one!)
Heās used to cold, he lives in Norway!
Yep long stading record by a Greek fella, Kouros (or somethign similar). He holds a whole bunch of insane records still from the 90s - 48 hrs, 1,000 mile stuff like that.
itās not going to win any awards for live event of the year is it?!
haha
It might win the live event of this year 
Just had a look for a minute. Geez, watch an hour attempt in the velodrome is bad enough!
Didnāt Yiannis Kouros do 4.44 pace for 24hrs or something stupid?
after 2 hrs he is averaging 4:03 pace
rather him than me
going to be dark soon I imagine in Norway - looks freezing as well
donāt forget after 4 hours though they will change direction 
I suppose at least he has other people on the track with him.
I have just spent the last 20 mins watching!!! Strangely compelling!
It will interesting to check-in in say around 3am, hopefully its atmospheric (or just very cold)
Did you see Kouros bitching about this ?..
I can half see his point, this is a bit like the 2hr marathon thingā¦ itās not really a race ?
And alsoā¦ apparentlyā¦ shoes.
Not sure how it not being a race really makes any difference? A 400m track is a 400m track
All these type of races are held on 400m/400yrd tracks. Well they certainly have been for the last 150 or so years 
Also, if he wanted to make it easier on himself he probably wouldnāt have picked Norway in November for a WR attempt
if it is not a race why is there another fella who is about 4 mins ahead of Kilian (he did his first marathon in 2:59 whereas Kilian was 3:03)?
if he is supposed to be pacing Kilian then someone ought to tell him
No its a race between the two of them (and the others on the track)
They are just changing direction. Very exciting
indeed and hence the comment from Kouros doesnāt stack up
5hrs47 and heās done 79km.
Dark already, gonna be a long night for him!
