#4This type of distance / pace is hard for some people to even grasp. This line helps sum it up nicely:
> That’s 7:15 per mile or 4:30 per kilometer for 24 straight hours.
Incredible

#5I've started running and an unexpected challenge is boredom. The running is challenging as is, but doing it for ~1h30m has been, for me, well, tedious. I guess that's a byproduct of always being within arm's reach of a phone.

I think that's also an upside of running. It's a forcing function to be away from screens and occupy your own mind.
Though music or podcasts can be a nice way to break up the monotony if you are struggling

I queue up podcasts or audio-books and use it as uninterrupted me time, though I do find audio-books harder to listen to on 2+ hour runs just because my mind tends to wander by that point. I find that podcasts are easier to mentally tune in and out of.
