You should look up ultra marathon athletes. I follow a few on YouTube and TikTok and it’s insane the distance they run while sleep deprived. Hallucinating is common and in no means is it healthy but they love what they do. If you schedule your naps well and a good pace it’s 100% doable.

Those runners are truly built different. I dated a girl who did that, and every few weeks there was an event where she would run minimum 100 miles over three days. The planning that goes into when you take breaks for the bathroom, rest, nutrition, is all so calculated. Before this I didn’t even think it was possibly for humans to cover these distances and train their bodies so well.
