Also notable is that this course was kind of terrible, with four 90 degree turns and three 180 degree turns each lap for 209 laps. There&amp;#x27;s little doubt that he could run &amp;gt; 200 miles on a course with fewer turns.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>milansuk</author><text>I downloaded .gpx of the run and it&amp;#x27;s 6.7MB.
He started with 4min&amp;#x2F;km pace, held it for 130km(9 hours) and then He &amp;quot;slowed down&amp;quot; almost linearly to 5min&amp;#x2F;km when he finished.</text></comment>

(Screenshot in case you dont have Strava &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;imgur.com&amp;#x2F;PuuKo5r&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;imgur.com&amp;#x2F;PuuKo5r&lt;/a&gt;) What I find interesting and don&amp;#x27;t really understand is why the elevation keeps going down during the run, even though he stayed on the same track. Anyone have an idea why that could be?</text></comment>
