Training for a 100-mile run is supposed to kill your strength. I want to see how true that actually is.

On December 19th, I’m going to snatch 100 kilos and then immediately run 100 miles. I have 24 hours to complete both, and the clock starts when I begin warming up for the snatch.

I already know some people are going to tell me this is dumb, and honestly, I understand that. It might be. It’s definitely not the most practical or optimal goal, and I’m not suggesting anybody else should try it.

I’m doing it because it sounds extremely hard, and I want to see if I can.

I’ve snatched 116 kilos before, hit 100 again at the Arnold in March, finished a 50-miler, and come back from two basketball related ACL surgeries. I know I can do each part separately. Putting them together is the part I don’t know.

For the next 16 weeks, I’m documenting the lifting, running, knee work, good days, bad days, and everything it takes to get ready.

100 kilos.
100 miles.
One clock.

Which part do you think will be harder: the snatch or the run?

100KG + 100 MILES in less than 24 hours might be the craziest thing I’ve attempted so far. But definitely not my first crazy.

Week 6 …. Check

Strength is hanging on. Tested out a possible run strategy for my 100. Might do it kinda like a backyard ultra. Still praying about it.

If you’ve ever ran in the rain you know the drill.

Try and dodge every puddle on mile 1…… then realize it’s too late and then you hit every puddle on purpose ☔️ 🌧️ 🏃‍♂️ by @coach_matt_21

96 kg overhead. Only 4 kg from the goal. Unfortunately, there’s no small adjustment that makes running 100 miles sound reasonable.

Week 5: 32 miles of running, a 10 mile long run and a 96 kg snatch.

Getting closer on the barbell while building the legs to handle what comes after it.

December 19. Snatch 100 kg, then run 100 miles. Both under one 24-hour clock.

Follow along. We’ve got a lot of work left. by @coach_matt_21

Every time I hear about the “winter arc.”

I’m all for people starting their fitness journey and “locking in” but some of y’all should be done arcing by now and kept the circle going. by @coach_matt_21
