Danny Westergard running Death Valley.
I have to say, that’s a run I’d love to do myself when I’m that age, but I don’t think I could afford the infrastructure it would need for me to survive it.
I already run 30km regularly, sometimes in temperatures as low as -13c and as hot as 30c. I’d probably try to do Death Valley mostly at night and deal with the cold.
