Probably insanity, but I am considering trying this Everesting thing sometime in the near future. There are no long hills near me (Chester County, PA) but there is a candidate, Shed Rd, which is a fairly steady 4.5% for 2 miles. I believe I would have to do 61 repeats, which I am guessing would take me roughly 14 hours. Would want a few friends to join me as I suspect boredom may be a major barrier.
Comments?
2 miles x 61 x 2 (you have to come back down) is 244 miles which is 17.4mph. That's a pretty decent avg speed when you spend half the distance climbing.
You should check out this to see what other people have done and their times/distances.
