I recently ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours straight (the “4x4x48 challenge”), totaling over two marathons in two days.
Here’s a look into why I did it, what I learned, and a “behind-the-scenes” of how it all went down.

PHYSICAL – What you didn’t see in the live videos
On Friday, April 21, 2023 at 2 AM, I started the 4x4x48 challenge. I ran the next leg at 6 AM, the next at 10 AM, and continued all the way until running Leg 13/12 at 2 AM on Sunday.
I documented the challenge along the way on Instagram (check the 4x4x48 story highlight), posting a short video on my story after each leg (also crossposted to YouTube for those without Instagram). The videos capture my raw reactions during the challenge, but there’s a lot that went on in between. This first section of the blog post is a literal “behind the scenes” – I’ll share the most interesting things from the 48 hours that didn’t make it to Instagram.
Being a “behind the scenes” section, you’re welcome to read it before watching the live videos, but I think you’ll find it more interesting after watching through the videos on Instagram or YouTube if you didn’t follow along live. If you don’t particularly care about the details of how it all went down, you may just want to skip ahead to the second section.
Why I decided to try the 4x4x48
I’ve been a longtime follower of inspirational figure David Goggins, but January 2023 was when I first learned of his 4x4x48 challenge. I saw the challenge as interesting but way beyond my ability. Deep down, though, I wondered, what if I actually did it?
I had some reason to believe I could complete the challenge. I finished my first marathon in June 2022. The only problem was that I was nowhere close to that level of fitness at the time – I followed a rigorous training plan for 6 months in preparation for the marathon. I thought there was no way I could do it at this fitness level.
On April 13, I heard about the challenge again on social media. The same question surfaced again. Since January, I hadn’t run over 10 miles even once. My ability to do the challenge was certainly no greater than it was when I last considered this. But again, what if I actually pulled this off?
I decided to attempt a half marathon on the weekend. If I succeeded then I’d go ahead with the challenge, otherwise, I’d do it later. The weekend came, and despite choosing an unexpectedly hilly route, I indeed did finish the 13.1 miles.
I was pretty exhausted. I ate lunch and took a long nap afterward. When I woke up, I realized – I’ve got to plan for the 4x4x48 challenge. My mind started racing. Was I seriously doing the 4x4x48? This would be crazy. I don’t have to do it – I barely even finished the half marathon. How do I even prepare for something like this?
I looked at my calendar and penciled in the challenge for Friday and Saturday. My classes and meetings on Friday were just spaced enough that I could plan the runs around them. I recall essentially being a vegetable on the day of my marathon, so I decided to start at 2 AM on Friday to give myself all of Sunday to rest. Based on my pace during the morning’s half marathon, I also set an 8:45 pace goal for the 4x4x48, meaning that I wanted to complete the challenge at an average of 8 minutes, 45 seconds per mile (I met this goal, achieving an average pace of 8:36).
It started to sink in – I was going to try this insane challenge in 6 days. I had no idea what to expect. The thing with the 4x4x48 challenge is that there’s no playbook for completing it. For my marathon, I was fairly confident that I had done the right things to prepare because I had followed a well-tested training plan for the preceding 6 months. This time, though, I was going in cold and had nothing to give me confidence that I could complete the 4x4x48.
Throughout the week, I started to shift my mentality. As an exercise in voluntary discomfort (much more on this below), I was going to do everything in my power to conquer the challenge. My mindset became more positive as I told myself that the challenge was “challenging but doable.” I said this phrase so much to myself that I eventually said it out loud in the first Instagram story!
I also told a handful of friends about the challenge throughout the week. In one conversation, a friend suggested that I use Instagram to invite others to join me along the way. I’ve never done a live “Instagram documentary” as such before, but inviting people to join for a leg seemed reasonable, so I decided to give it a try.
At 2 AM on Friday, April 21, I pulled out my phone to record a video both announcing the 4x4x48 challenge and inviting people to join me for a 4-mile leg. Immediately after, I started running the first leg from my dorm, and the rest is history…
Food
I’d like to reiterate that I went into this challenge with no real preparation or playbook, so I figured out a lot of important things along the way.
I realized quickly that I didn’t have enough time to fully digest my food between legs, because no matter how soon I ate after finishing a leg, I’d be running again in less than 3 hours. I tried to keep my meals small and easily digestible. Being a Stanford student, I’m on the university’s meal plan, so I ate lunches and dinners at the dining hall when it was open (lunch after the 10 AM leg and dinner after the 6 PM leg), the only exception being when I met a friend at Subway at 7:30 PM on Friday. For the dining hall meals, I opted mostly for spinach salads with baked chicken – spinach has lots of electrolytes, and chicken is an easily digestible protein source.
At Subway, I broke this small easily digestible meal rule that I developed. I had a whole footlong sandwich (with spinach!) at 7:30 PM on Friday, and lived to regret it a couple hours later during the 10 PM leg. That leg was the slowest of the whole challenge – I could feel it rolling around in my stomach after every single step. That was the last time I made the mistake of eating too much.
After the other 8 legs, I thought it would be sensible to eat a bit, but the dining halls were closed so I was left rummaging for food in my dorm room. I found a lot of trail mix, and honestly not too much else. After each leg, I first stretched, then I’d snack on some trail mix before continuing with my day.
After the 6 AM leg on Saturday (Leg 8, which was the toughest and will be revisited later), though, I was extremely hungry, so I rummaged around in the dorm again. I found some peanut butter and jelly. I didn’t even consider this as a food option before, because I didn’t have any bread.
At this time, however, I was desperately hungry and didn’t care too much, so I ate peanut butter and jelly with a spoon (one spoonful of PB, then one spoonful of J, etc.). I guess this qualified as a nutritious, easily digestible food choice? Honestly, this deconstructed PB&J didn’t taste as bad as I was expecting, so I had it again after the 2 PM leg on Saturday. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
TL;DR – I ate tons of spinach and trail mix with guest appearances from a questionably-timed Subway sandwich and a “deconstructed PB&J.”
Stretching, Warming Up, and Cooling Down
The biggest physical risk I faced was pulling or straining a leg muscle; running 52 miles in two days is no joke. After each leg, I made sure to stretch my legs thoroughly to reduce the risk of injury. I also used a muscle roller on my legs to help stretch them out. Luckily, despite my muscles being incredibly sore, the injuries I sustained were minor enough that I could push through and finish the challenge. I was hobbling around for the next few days, but I guess my stretching was good enough.
In order to reduce the distance I was running, I didn’t formally warm up or cool down for any of the legs. My warmup was just counted as the first part of the leg, during which my muscles were very tight. Looking back at the runs, I can see that the first mile of each leg is markedly slower than the remainder of the leg due to this warm-up. The little bit of cooling down I did after each leg was just a 2-minute walk back to the dorm, during which I filmed my post-leg recap video.
Sleeping
I had some homework that I wanted to wrap up before starting the challenge, so I stayed up until 2 AM on Friday working on that. Roughly, after each of the nighttime legs (10 PM, 2 AM, 6 AM), I went to sleep right after finishing stretching and eating and woke up minutes before the next leg. This totaled out to about 6-7 hours of sleep each day of the challenge. On top of this, I took a 90-minute midday nap on Saturday. Along with all of the adrenaline and excitement, this amount of sleep was enough to get me through the challenge.
Not Sleeping
I treated my Friday and Saturday as normally as I could given that I was running every 4 hours. On Friday, I went to classes, had a startup meeting, and began my mathematical analysis homework. On Saturday, I continued the mathematical analysis homework and made sizable progress. I also spent some time relaxing with friends on Saturday. Overall, despite being in the middle of the insane 4x4x48 challenge, the rest of my life still continued mostly as normal.
Water
I learned the hard way what should have been obvious – I can’t drink water while sleeping. At night, I had a few sips of water immediately after the leg, then went straight to sleep after stretching and eating. During the night, this small amount of water was okay, but it left me quite dehydrated during the day. The days were hot and sunny; on the 10 AM leg on Saturday I was parched. From this point on, I made sure to chug water in an effort to stay hydrated. This solved my hydration problems for the rest of the challenge, but I certainly wish I had drank more water in the first half of the challenge.
Showering
Going into the challenge, I planned to shower after every two or three legs. I took a shower after the 10 AM leg on Friday because I had class at 12:30 PM. I ran an extra mile during the 2 PM leg because I failed to track the first mile – because of the extra long leg, I didn’t get a chance to take a shower before my 3 PM startup meeting. I ended up moving the meeting outside, though, so the smell wasn’t too bad (hopefully!).
I took another shower before having dinner with my friend at 7:30 PM on Friday. Unfortunately, though, that was the end of my showering streak. Throughout the night, I could not motivate myself to shower, because who’d be smelling me anyways? I also wanted to get as much sleep as possible, so I pushed showering to the morning.
In reality, I didn’t shower again until after the 2 PM leg on Saturday. This was the third and final shower of the challenge. On Saturday, my legs hurt when I stood, and I wasn’t seeing too many people anyways, so showering always seemed to get pushed until “after the next leg.” Be glad you didn’t smell me at the end of the challenge!
Can you do this?
I’d be glad to inspire anyone who’s willing to give it a shot, but you should know what you’re getting yourself into. If you do try it, feel free to contact me with any questions that I didn’t answer in this blog post.
Recall from above that I’ve run a marathon in the past and was still in good enough shape to comfortably run a hilly half marathon at 8:29 pace on a whim. This was enough physical ability to finish the 4x4x48 challenge at 8:36 average pace.
The slower your pace goal, the easier it will be. I believe that with a couple of months of training, most people my age could walk this challenge, irrespective of their current fitness level. Set a pace goal that you think will challenge you and try to stick to it.
You should also know that the 4x4x48 essentially debilitated me, both during the challenge and for the following 3-4 days. This challenge is no joke, and I wish you the best of luck.
Will I ever do the 4x4x48 again?
The answer is maybe. I will certainly continue pushing my limits, but I haven’t decided if or when I’m doing another 4x4x48. It was a great physical challenge, and I certainly learned a lot from the experience. David Goggins does the 4x4x48 every year, so maybe I’ll do it again next school year, who knows? Maybe I’ll instead run another marathon, or try something else altogether. I’ll put it this way – it’s not off the table, but it’s not in the books either; we’ll both just have to wait and see 🙂
MENTAL – Proving myself to myself (and others)
Why on earth would I put myself through this? I was hobbling around for almost a week, messed up my sleep schedule, and became desperate enough to eat peanut butter and jelly by the spoonful. Still, I somehow came out on the other side with a smile on my face and a palpable feeling of satisfaction.
In this second section of the blog post, I seek to give a look inside my head during the 48-hour challenge. There’s quite a lot that I couldn’t capture in the 60-second videos, and I hope that this helps to give insight into how you can conquer the hardest challenges in your life.
Intrinsic Motivation
As a prokopton (a Stoic-in-training of sorts), Herculean challenges such as the 4x4x48 are how I engage in the Stoic practice of voluntary discomfort. There are many things in life that I believe I should do. While some of these are also things that I want to do, others are things that I don’t particularly feel like doing. For instance, instead of spending my night studying for my exam tomorrow morning, it’d be more fun to hang out with friends. This being said, I clearly should study for my exam, so that’s what I will do. I believe making this “right choice” the vast majority of the time is critical to living a good life.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space, there is a power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor E Frankl, Holocaust Survivor
I’ll briefly outline my current approach to doing the right thing most of the time. In a given situation, I strive to minimize the distance between what I rationally think I should do and what I want to do. Ideally, this distance would be 0 and it’d never cross my mind to do anything other than what I should do – if this is the case, then I’d always do the right thing.
Continuing the previous example, given that I have an exam in the morning, I should realize it’s in my best interest to spend the night studying. Because of this, it’s hopefully also what I want to do. If what I should do and want to do are not aligned, I’d have to exercise pure discipline to do the right thing, telling myself something like “I’m going to do it anyways, whether I want to or not.” I’ve found that while I can exercise discipline when necessary, I have a fixed supply and can’t use it as a sustaining motivation to do what is right.
While this makes sense in theory, actually implementing it is incredibly challenging. It’s especially hard to do what I should when the thing I should do is very challenging and the thing I want to do is very easy. In other words, it’s hardest to do what I should in times of discomfort. Oftentimes, though, the hardest things in life are also the most worth doing, and the ability to succeed in the face of discomfort is thus incredibly important.
“If you want peace, prepare for war” – Ancient Roman adage
Voluntary discomfort is the practice of intentionally making myself uncomfortable in order to practice doing what I should, even when it’s extremely hard. Completing the 4x4x48 was incredibly hard, and quitting would have been incredibly easy. Putting my full effort into the 4x4x48 just became another one of the things that I should do, a particularly hard one at that. I knew this would be challenging, potentially even too challenging, but either way, it would demand a Herculean effort on my part. Going into the challenge, I not only told myself I should do it, but I also wanted to do it because I wanted to prove to myself just how capable I truly am. This being said, there were also times during the challenge when every bone in my body was telling me to give up – I’ll write below about how I approached these key moments.
Another way to view it is that the goal of doing the 4x4x48 was to conquer a challenge harder than most I’d face in the future, whether the future challenges are voluntary or involuntary. My ultimate goal is to become unstoppable – when I decide I should do something, I have confidence in myself that I can do it. Succinctly, finishing the 4x4x48 would show me that “I can do anything I set my mind to.”
Extrinsic Motivation
My close friends weren’t all too surprised when I set out to complete the 4x4x48. It’s far from the only thing I’ve done to practice voluntary discomfort. To name a few, I’ve exclusively taken freezing cold showers for the past 2 years, I slept directly on a wood plank for 3 months, and I do quarterly 72-hour fasts.
Aside from being on the more challenging end of my exercises in voluntary discomfort, the 4x4x48 sticks out to me in large part because of the public aspect. I’ve never publicized any of my exercises in voluntary discomfort. The closest I’ve come was writing a blog post about my marathon after it happened, but publicizing the 4x4x48 along the way was insightful in unexpected ways.
To briefly reiterate the context, when I set out to complete the 4x4x48, I was intending to keep it private yet again, with only a few people ever hearing about it. A friend suggested that I post about it to invite others to join me on a leg – without this suggestion, I wouldn’t have even posted the first Instagram story.
I was expecting a handful of people to message me after the first couple of Instagram stories wishing me luck and a couple more to reach out to join me on some of the legs.
Let me tell you, the response throughout the day on Friday was vastly different than I was expecting.
I received way more than a handful of messages – on Instagram alone, I had over 50 unique conversations going throughout the challenge, both from close friends and acquaintances. While some indeed wished me luck and some reached out to join me, this was a surprisingly small portion of the messages I received. I can’t share all of the messages, but here’s a chronologically ordered sampling from Friday:
The initial response was overwhelmingly along the lines of “you’re crazy,” this being even more frequent than “good luck.” At first, these messages worried me. This challenge was so insane that people not only thought I was crazy for trying it, they were typing it out on their phones and sending it to me. What was I getting myself into? Could I really do this?
Eventually, I used this sentiment as fuel. Everyone else doubted my ability to do this, probably even more than I was doubting my ability to do this. I had the chance to prove not only to myself that I could do anything that I set my mind to, but also to the world. I intended to show the world what I’m made of by crushing the challenge.
In my first Instagram story, I simply explained the rules of the challenge and invited others to join me on a leg. What I left out was my motivation for why I was doing the challenge. As the initial reaction of shock wore off, I received a fair amount of messages asking why I was attempting the 4x4x48.
After Leg 3, I filmed my usual check-in video, and while walking ran into a friend who asked me this question face-to-face. I explained it to him while heading back to the dorm, and decided to post a 60-second explanation of the Stoic principle of voluntary discomfort captioned “Why am I doing this?” immediately after we parted ways.
From this point on, the initial shock wore off and I received an outpouring of support. As I described it in the first video, the 4x4x48 was truly “challenging but doable.” I’m truly grateful both to those of you who thought I was insane and to those of you who wished me luck – these inputs were a good reminder of both parts of this message throughout the challenge.
The 4x4x48 challenge started to gain a following. As word spread, people who I didn’t even know started reaching out to me both online and in person. My roommates joked that I was becoming a real-life Forrest Gump, running across campus with the support of the student body. I even had people running with me!
Remember when I met my friend at Subway at 7:30 PM on Friday? We were originally planning on meeting at 7:15 PM, but during the 10-minute walk from my dorm to Subway, I literally got stopped 7 times by people talking to me about the challenge.
In one of these conversations on the way to Subway, someone told me that my doing this challenge was “inspiring” to them. I recalled that many of the messages in which people wished me good luck also mentioned that the 4x4x48 was inspiring. After eating, I reflected on this a bit. When I set out to complete this challenge, I simply wanted to prove to myself that I can do anything I set my mind to, as an exercise of voluntary discomfort.
However, now that the following of the challenge had increased, I had the ability to inspire others. Not only would completing the 4x4x48 prove to myself I can do anything I can set my mind to, but it would also prove this to others. This extrinsic motivation was powerful and got me through the runs on Friday night.
Key Moment #1 – Leg 8/12
The first key moment in the challenge came during Leg 8 at 6 AM on Saturday. The buildup was unassuming. I ran the 2 AM leg with a friend and it went quite well. I even commented during my Instagram video that the legs hadn’t really increased in difficulty since Leg 3 and called it a “fun” leg! Another friend was going to join me for the 6 AM leg. After stretching and eating, I went to sleep, ready to keep going.
My 5:55 AM alarm rang. I dismissed it, closed my eyes for a second, and the next thing I knew it was 6:20 AM. I was exhausted, but I jumped out of bed and looked at my phone, wondering where my friend was. As it turns out, he texted at 5:48 AM saying that he “felt horrible” and was going back to sleep. I put on my shoes and got out of the door at 6:25 AM. This posed a problem – I’d still run the next leg right at 10 AM, and I just lost 25 minutes from my already time-crunched recovery period before the next leg.
My muscles were the tightest they’d been throughout the whole challenge and my legs were hurting immensely. My stomach started to hurt too. I was hungry – I hadn’t eaten as much trail mix as usual after the last couple of legs because of the large Subway sandwich I had at 7:30 PM. After each mile, the running app I use tells me how fast I ran the previous mile. When it announced the first mile, I was crushed. I ran it at 9:17, and my average pace goal was 8:45.
This was my lowest point in the entire challenge. I was in physical pain, starving, sleepy, and wasn’t even close to meeting my goal pace for this leg. On top of all this, the next leg would be even harder because I wouldn’t have enough time to digest my food and recover.
I wanted to give up. Every part of me was defeated. I told myself, “this is a hard challenge, and you’ve put in a good effort.” The previous two legs were relatively slow, anyways, providing further evidence that I had reached my physical limit. What I could do is run the rest of this leg at 9:17 pace, admitting defeat on the pace goal but still trying to finish the challenge at a slower pace. After all, I didn’t publicly announce the 8:45 pace goal, so nobody would even know that I failed my original goal. I set the pace goal almost completely at random, and it was probably too optimistic anyways.
At this moment, what I should do and what I wanted to do were squarely in opposition. I should keep pushing, but I felt like I had given all I could. I distinctly remember every single one of the aforementioned excuses running through my head. If I were to be defeated, this would be the thing that defeats me. I wanted to give up.
As I mentioned earlier, this is the exact scenario where discipline comes into play. It was irrelevant that I didn’t want to continue. I told myself that I had to dig deep and keep pushing forward to save the pace for this leg. I changed the music, first playing “Lose Yourself” by Eminem, then playing the Rocky Balboa theme song on a loop. I told myself that I could actually finish this, and this was my one shot. If I was going to give up, it wouldn’t be on this leg.
I searched deep inside of me and found energy that I didn’t even know existed. I managed to speed up and finished the leg with an average pace of 8:44.
When I got back to the dorm, all of my physical problems were still there. I first stretched then ate. Due to how hungry I was, I searched again for “real” non-trail mix food and found peanut butter and jelly, which I ate by the spoonful despite not having any bread on hand. As I desperately scarfed down spoonfuls of PB&J, I reflected.
I realized that I had relied on discipline to get through Leg 8, and needed to realign my conception of what I should do and what I wanted to do. After realizing that people were looking up to me for inspiration, I had shifted my motivation from being primarily intrinsic to primarily extrinsic. This was the underlying problem. I needed to remind myself why I started this challenge. The struggles I experienced during Leg 8 were good and gave me an opportunity to learn even more from this exercise in voluntary discomfort.
This interplay between my intrinsic motivations and extrinsic motivations was incredibly insightful. I never imagined that making a few posts on Instagram could possibly have any effect on the difficulty of the challenge. In reality, it wasn’t the posts themselves that were the problem, it was my mindset regarding the publicity. I had to remind myself that my motivation was primarily intrinsic, and the support of the community was no more than added fuel to my fire. At the end of the day, whether or not I completed the challenge was fully in my control, not anybody else’s.
As I went to sleep before the 10 AM leg, I simply told myself over and over that I would win the challenge no matter what. This is what I should do, and I want to do this in an effort to become unstoppable. I will win the challenge.
This conversation in my head was the most valuable part of the entire 48-hour challenge. This is the entire purpose of voluntary discomfort, anyways. After the first mile of Leg 8, I found myself in a situation that I thought spelled certain defeat. I managed to win the battle inside my head in the face of this intractable situation. When I face challenges in the future, I know this conversation inside my head will come up again, and I now know exactly what to tell myself to dig deep and accomplish the impossible.
Key Moment #2 – Leg 12/12
The post-Leg 8 talk with myself made the rest of the challenge a lot easier. What I should do and what I wanted to do were completely aligned, and I felt as though nothing could stop me.
During Leg 11, I had a thought. At 2 AM on Sunday, it would have been 4 hours since starting Leg 12 at 10 PM on Saturday, and it would have been 48 hours since I started at 2 AM on Friday. For the entire challenge, I thought there would be only 12 legs and that I’d be done after the 10 PM leg on Saturday. What if I ran an extra leg at 2 AM on Sunday?
Going into the 12th leg, I had already decided I was going to do this extra leg afterward, though nobody else knew. I absolutely did not need to do the 13th leg for anyone else. As far as everyone else knew, I had already won the challenge after finishing Leg 12. The true ending of the challenge was to be run alone, and I was the only one who cared how well I ran it.
Three others joined me on Leg 12 and cheered me on the whole way back. It was adrenaline-filled, exciting, and overall quite easy. With all the adrenaline, Leg 12 was my fastest of the entire challenge, with an 8:14 average pace.
Key Moment #3 – Leg 13/12
My experience with the 4x4x48 “ends not with a bang but a whimper” (T.S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men”).
I began the challenge to prove myself to myself. The middle felt like a movie. Maybe my roommates were right, and this was a taste of what Forrest Gump felt like when running across the US. The challenge truly took a life of its own.
To cap off this crazy experience, I ended the 4x4x48 the same way I started it. I was grateful for the support along the way, but I wanted to earn the last leg on my own. People didn’t even know I was planning this leg, and the only expectations I had to meet were my own.
At 2 AM on Sunday, I made an Instagram post announcing Leg 13/12 and set out alone on my true final leg.
I was barely able to walk from my bed to the outside of my dorm to make that Instagram post. I could feel the effects of the past 48 miles and the exceptionally fast Leg 12. This leg was by far the most physically challenging, and every step was painful. This being said, after Leg 8, I had simply decided that I was going to win, so no amount of pain was going to stop me. I was going to finish no matter what.
When I stopped running Leg 13 at about 2:40 AM, I collapsed on the field near my dorm, exhausted but victorious. There was no trophy or prize. It was the middle of the night and nobody was around. The next day was just a normal day, and I had to finish up the mathematical analysis homework that I started during the challenge.
I was, and still am, extremely satisfied with my performance throughout the 4x4x48. The extrinsic motivation added a new dimension to this exercise in voluntary discomfort. I appreciated the support of the community and am happy to serve as an inspiration to anyone who has followed this crazy journey of mine.
This being said, at the end of it all, I conquered the 4x4x48 primarily for myself. If I decide I should do something, no matter how impossible it seems, I have it in me to do it.
Against all odds, I actually did it. I won the challenge.
