Yep, he was planning on crawling on all fours in a table-top position for the entire 26.2 miles.
House partner and health and wellness advisor based in New York City, had been planning to bear-crawl the New York City marathon. Yes, he was planning on crawling on all fours in a table-top position for the entire 26.2 miles.that he got the idea to bear crawl the New York City Marathon because he wanted to raise awareness for veteran mental health, an issue that’s close to his heart.
His father, who was a body builder, died by suicide, and he said after seeing him go through what he went through, he wanted to help others. And while the 27-year-old didn’t talk about it for a while, he said once he opened up, it felt like a weight came off his shoulders, and he wants to encourage others to do the same.
Though the marathon isn‘t happening, he still wants to complete his own, so he’s continuing to train and plan. “Now that the marathon is canceled, I really, really want to do it and show that just because something is canceled, I’m not going to not do it,” he said. To get ready for this feat of endurance—every hour, he plans to crawl 1.5 miles plus fit in a break to refuel and rest—he’s been working on a lot of repetition and building stamina through strength training and HIIT.
And, recovery is huge. He gets weekly biopuncture to help with his flexibility, and he lathers a CBD muscle pain relief cream when he bear-crawls, to give a cooling and heating sensation and help relieve some of the pain that comes with being in that position for an extended period of time. Additionally, he said he’s building up blisters on his hands and working to strengthen his quads.While a bear crawl probably isn’t the first method of choice for runners to complete for a full 26.
