With Broken Ribs I Ran 48.6 Miles - How I Did It | Disney Dopey Challenge 2019

How I Ran 48.6 Miles With Broken Ribs | Disney Dopey Challenge 2019

Last year I decided I was going to run the Disney Dopey Challenge 2019. But... A few weeks before I simply broke my ribs.

I was in my Muay Thai class and I got a kick right at the ribs. MAN IT WAS PAINFUL AS HELL.It was hard to walk, hard to breath, not able to sleep, LET ALONE RUN A FULL MARATHON!

It was only 2 weeks left for the marathon date, and I had to train, I put my running shoes on that Sunday, I had to run the 15 miles, just gonna jog, step after step, it was painful all the time. Worse than I thought I couldn't even listen to music or an audiobook with all the pain. All I focused on is putting one step then other.

I hoped that it will be okay the day of the marathon, or at least not as painful. and As you guessed, no as I thought It was painful still.
I trained everyday up until the day of the marathon with only 2 days of rest before.

It was 4 long days:

First day 5 kilometers,
Second day 10 kilometers,
Third day half a marathon (21.1 kilometers)
And by the fourth day a full marathon (42 Kilometers).

Anyways one step after the other I did it. I though that was it, I didn't think I'll be able to run a full marathon.

By the Third day I was dying, the pain was killing me, I didn't know how am I gonna run a half marathon let alone a full marathon?

A full marathon alone is hard, it's hard. Four hours on average of running time. Add to that being tired, not sleeping, broken ribs.

My first thought was: how am I going to run the Disney Dopey Challenge 2019? I thought this was going to get better. It didn't.

I need to run this. I need to run this. But, as you might already know me... I've committed to it, so... I'm going to run the Disney dopey challenge 2019.

And that's what I did... But... How did I run 48 miles with broken ribs? That's what you're going to find out.
