After Mark's challenge of a half marathon per day over on GTN, he thought it was only fair to challenge Hank to something similar on the bike - 100km a day for a week, 700km of riding in total. Riding your bike 100km every day is a challenge for most of us, especially around a full-time job! Hank was going to need help, so we teamed up with our friends Nuzest to help fuel him with their plant-based nutrition, and Whoop to monitor the effect this challenge had on his body.

Regular week 400km at most. Will give a shot next summer sure, sun doesn't go down until 8.30pm down under. Vancouver to Tijuana MX in 25 days with 20+ days of 100km. Edit: While not working of course.

A bit over 500k last year, as part of a challenge with some colleagues to see who could bike the longest in a week. Somehow I made second place despite being overweight and usually only doing 20k a day. It was very hard, but worth it. We are going to do the same challenge again this year.

From a recovery perspective, 100km and a half marathon might be about the same, but from a time commitment I'm sure they're not even close! Mark was surely sub 2:00 on most of them, so Hank is doing twice (or perhaps more) the hours in a week. Brutal.

@edgarkarbach385 3 года назад

That seems to be much harder than the regular bike holiday week on Mallorca where we used to do more than 600 km in 5 days each year in March but in brilliant weather conditions in group rides and not around work. That makes a big difference because I don't feel sore and not too tired afterwards. I admire the guides who do this every week over there for months and always riding in the wind. It is really tough when they are guiding the advanced groups which do an average of 27 km/h and more every day. Some of these guides are 60 years old and older. Very impressive.

@mikecoglione1308 2 года назад

I spent a month in Italy recently and biked just over 2000km in a little over a month which is less than that. The climbs there are BRUTAL, like many miles of double digit climbs like even 16, 18% or more. It's so beautiful I couldn't resist. With every ride I felt a little worse and not recovered I knew I was doing myself in. With the Italian diet I was eating top notch and on vacation I was trying to sleep as much as possible. 2 weeks after the fact and back home I am still not myself. This is definitely overtraining, but I Wasn't trying to train to get faster, I was just riding with "IT SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN" on my mind wanting to experience the scenery, food and countryside there as much as possible before going home. Ouch.

He did the right thing. All that protein helps maintain muscle mass and not get cramps along the way. Look at all the insane mileage or kilometers he's running. Also, in such a cold climate the body needs a lot of fuel to keep going. Plus, he's got to run on the bike for many days in a row.

Last year I took a one week vacation ... so ... 2 weekends and 9 days to be on the bike. My goal was 1000km in 9 days, but in the end managed to ride only 915.6km. Sat - 170.1km (5h 52m); Sun - 73km (2h 41m); Mon - 83.8km (2h 42m); Tue - 104.1km (3h 37m); Wed - 104.1km (3h 39m); Thur - 100.2km (3h 31m); Fri - 103km (3h 52m); Sat - 95.9km (3h 14m); Sun - 81.4km (2h 57m) My daily fuel for this was... Cheddar cheese, bacon, red paprika, tomato, and either avocado or scrambled eggs. On the ride had some flapjacks with me, energy gel, in one bottle water and in the other carbon drink. After the ride I had some protein drink and to eat either a caesar salad or some pure chicken breast. Additional to the rides I had an hour of cross fit training on 4 of the 9 days, so you can imagine how happy my legs were. It took 5 days for the legs to recover to a point where they felt like a part of my body again. 1000km in 9 days, still a goal.

@kwkuo91007 3 года назад

This reminds me of the Taiwan island roundtrip challenge. It's a 7-12 day bike packing trip, 900-1200km and 6000-9000m accumulated ascending, depending on route choices. Here it's popular not just among routine riders, but regular people too. Some even do it once a year. It can be quite a brutal challenge to those who don't ride bikes regularly, but still they always get it done.

@ramdynebix 3 года назад

I was just about to comment in the same way. There are people like us who do this for fun! Never been as fit as Hank and I’m getting older so the regular 100k days with an incidental 150k day for 2.5/3 weeks are getting rarer even though my fitness was at peak level at the end of 2019. And we were mostly camping every night! But around work is hard as well, brrrrr, especially with weather like this.

@klaussfreire Год назад

Hats off to you mate. I've done 270km/day but not on that kind of terrain and time constraints. I think I would do about 80k/day with those inclines. Maybe less, I remember a roadtrip I made, 300km around Misiones Argentina, hills all over the place, and that ended up being about 50km/day average due to the horrible terrain, heat and rain. Oh, rain. It rained all week on that trip. BTW I mean horribly hard, it was beautiful and I slept like a baby afterwards, but you get my point.

As I have gotten older and have other time commitments I have found that the quality (intensity) of workouts is far more important than quantity (miles). I have simplified my regimen to Hill Repeats every other day and now I am in a constant state of endorphin release, sleeping better than ever (solid 8 hours per night), no injuries, no guilt about missing a workout, no exercise obsession, losing body fat, building muscle, improved muscle tone, much improved endurance, keep out of dangerous car traffic and dangerous group rides, and better mental focus and concentration. This probably would have been better when I was young as well and could have saved me hours and hours of time I could have been doing other things.

@nickcarpentier3982 3 года назад

@joeymartinez4120 3 года назад

I took a week off work last year to ride across Texas (~1000mi or 1600km). I loaded up my gravel rig with full camping gear, water, and food to feed myself along the way. Luckily I only had to camp the first night, but was still stuck with all my gear until I could find a place to ship it home on day 5. I wasn't able to secure I ride home the last day from the the TX/LA border so tried to knock out 150 around Houston to at least make the mileage. I had switched from my gravel rig to my road bike for this day and forgot my flat kit, so... when I flatted I just called in a ride and called it done. Ended up just over 900mi/1460km in 9 days. Day 1 (132mi/212km) - Day 2 (101mi/162km) - Day 3 (115mi/185km) - Day 4 (136mi/218km) - Day 5 (35mi/56km) - Day 6 (113mi/182km) - Day 7 (137mi/220km) - Day 8 (89mi/143km) - Day 9 (48mi/77km)

Back in 1978 I worked in a bike shop in Glendale California and became a Category #1 racer thanks to Mr. Bob Enright who watched me closely during my Cat 4, 3 and 2nd stages. I moved up ranks quickly because before I was a top three 400 cc motorcycle road-racer and knew well how to stay steady in a fast moving pelaton. I was also one of the fastest defenders in So. Cal. At that time I wanted to be in the Tour de France so badly that I had no issues waking up at 4:AM and doing 40K before going to work, and doing another 40K after work, 7 days a week. I loved being a Cat 1 racer, and did most all my stage racing in Mexico. I raced for the City Carson where my coach helped to put the 84 Olympic Velodrome in the city of Carson.

1060 km in five days (720 km of which in two days). Did that in a Milan SL recumbent with 15 kilos of luggage crossing Germany from South to North (Munich to Hamburg). Legs were meh, generally very tired. Did another 140 km the next day.

@peterahlstedt2043 3 года назад

Well done. Next challenge should bee PBP, Paris-Brest-Paris. Im looking forward

@paulrobinson4987 2 года назад

It's tough, I used to work as a bike messenger in Calgary, Canada, I used to ride 50km a day, stop and go, plus 28 km home-downtown-home, plus 80km with friends on the road bike on Saturday. It's very hard on the body and mind to ride everyday continuously.

@flake950 3 года назад

Awesome video. It would be good to continue on how to best recover from this too after the stressful week.

@timblass4811 3 года назад

Nice one Hank. Inspired. I set a target of 5000k for this year and have not even done 10%. Back on it and whilst I won't make.my year target I'm racking 7pnthe Ks again now. Your video is a big ous. Thanks again. As just the wrong side.of 50 recovery is key!! Excuse the typing.I'm 30k into a swift ride! 😆

A bit too much advert. I am sure you can do it on ‘normal’ food. I don’t want to spend a fortune on products.

@mazevx2451 3 года назад

You will probably get in trouble with time unless you have someone taking care of cooking for you and you have to eat hilarious amounts of stuff to get in the nutrients. It will also be hard on your digestive system.

I did this for 4 days on a heavy packed touring bike. The hardest part for me is a sore ass by far. Pacing is critical if you do it. Sure if you only ride like 20kmh average it takes 5 hours but it also saves your legs.

@RyonBeachner 3 года назад

If hank is riding his bike for a work assignment, on his lunch break, is it really a lunch break? How has HR not shit their pants? 😂

@brandonhoffman4712 2 года назад

I did the speed walking version of this. 30k steps per day, around 14 miles a day in about 3.5-4hrs. 210k steps a week, i did it for 2 weeks then my ankle bit the dust! I'm working my way back up again 10k a day. This ordeal with my ankle is why I'm looking into gravel bikes!

@PrabuddhaDasGupta1966 3 года назад

There is a guy on Strava who lives in Bangalore India and he has been riding a 100 km on a fixed gear bike every day for the past six months or maybe more. He rides at a very easy pace, but it really is something to just ride this kind of distance for months on end.

@timw8926 3 года назад

Next challenge for Hank: Cycle 1000 km in 24 hours and breaking one of his bones every 100 km, all while just being allowed to eat Hot Cheetos.

When I was growing up there was a toy called Action Man, if it was a thing today it'd be called Hank Man, you are living our dreams Hank, what a job...

@rkidben42069 3 года назад

Love how much prep and gear these guys need to do what me and other deliveroo riders call a normal working week without fancy carbon bikes

@daanlinders7997 2 года назад

but he did this besides his work. You do this and are done for the day that makes also a difference. Vertical meters can also make a big difference.

@caroleast9636 2 года назад

My best 24 hour ride was 431.7 miles. That’s about 700 Km ! Single fixed gear, alone and unpaced as per the rule. Back to work on Monday morning.

@MrDerpy-vf5sq 3 года назад

I think I'll be able to pull this off without the protien shake if they give me a bike 😂

@torus186 Год назад

might try this for FUN! my commute is 53Km each way so just a little 170K at the weekend to finish.

@thorestey 3 года назад

I cycled 100k every day for a week. Oh wait, 10k every day for a week...

@Babkyb 3 года назад

Congratulations! it was fun to watch and inspiring to go out and ride no matter what!

Hank! You Rock. Great Video with some really good info! On to the next Challenge...200 mile gravel grinder with no experience....hummmm sounds good mate!

This is amazing! Great feat Hank! Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦

@jaydesimone4297 3 года назад

Kudos to Hank for this. While the physical effort may be similar to Mark's daily HMs, the time constraints are completely different. I think that alone makes this a much harder challenge.

@FraiseRaboteuse 3 года назад

It looked an enormous effort. More than most (almost any) of us could manage. Imagine, if you had doubled it and done 7 days x 200k @ 40kph avg you'd be a TDF standard rider. What a terrifying thought.

@amolpakhare5548 3 года назад

I bet that Nuzest and Whoop will never find a promotion for their products like this ever. He did 700 km in 7 days. Hats off🙌🏾

Chapeau Hank! You survived Mark Beaumont's rest week--something to be clear, I couldn't do.

@antonyking7611 3 года назад

So...Work breaks Hank.....great video...and challenge accepted!

@dwqdwwdwqdqwd2950 5 месяцев назад

150km per day for 2 months, high geared singlespeed and panniers. No day below 150km since that was my goal, some days longer than that because it was "fun" to bike. At one time I got an inflammation in a knee so I had to bike with one leg.

@richardhall263 3 года назад

Hi I ride 27 k a day , I started on 13 a day and slowly built it up. I have a Gitaine ali bike with carbon front forks. I am 63 and had a massive stroke in 2002 , its taken me a long time to get this far.

@General1Cal 9 месяцев назад

I like the fact that working then after work pull another couple hours of cycling.

@guintube 3 года назад

I normally ride 200 miles per week...6 x 33 miles...road and one day mountain biking. total weekly climb elevation is around 10,000 feet.

Just noticed something and wanted to ask, isn't the helmet strap supposed to be a bit more snug or have I got it wrong?

@julianbailey2749 3 года назад

My tip for the laziest way to complete 100km is to use a busy and flat course on Zwift. Cruise at about 175 to 185w and you will pick up lots of slipstream and complete the 100km in under 3 hours.
