I wouldn't do it. I am so slow I would probably never make it to work.
I often run 20 miles before work, but at 9am Come 4pm I would be dead if i woke up that early. I need to be up quite a bit before motoring out the door, let alone driving somewhere on top of it.
I've done it plenty...the pain in the ass of running from 3am to 6am or so is overtaken by the feeling of being the biggest badass in the office...
Anyone that regularly runs 20 miles is already a little bit nutty.
I don't know how someone could get up at 2:45 ish to run at 3:40 , run 22 miles and then go to work all day
Completely agree. But they are probably younger, too. At our age, they will not do this anymore.
This. Doing it before the ass-crack of dawn only makes it marginally more crazy than doing it at a normal time of day.
In their 40's... So not that much hounger
Don't know about you, but my mid-50s are far less energetic than the mid-40s. I think we both are 54.

if you live in a place where it never gets below 77F until November, you're crazier to do it any other time.
Another Texan?
no no no no no no no no no no no no
Floridian.
lucky you. How many years of running have you done? I wonder if that may be a factor. They used to say you got to your peak after 10 years.
that no no no was more like "please let it not be true" rather than "no it is not true." I am 50, have been running for about 12 years, have noticed some waning of energy (and especially speed) but I am praying that I won't be a total wreck in 5 years.
OK, I have been running for 27 years... more wear and tear. A total wreck you will not be; I can hardly say I am that, but speed went down for me, as well as energy levels. And recovery takes far more time for me: After my 19-mile training run on Saturday, I felt far more tired than I ever used to feel. I need more sleep after those.

Not crazy at all. Nope. I would do this and we all know I'm not crazy. And neither am I.
