Rob, from 14degrees.org, having just finished up his worldwide skateboard tour, then taken part in the 24-hour Ultraskate in New Zealand just after, was offered the chance to have his body tested in a lab!
His experience and the results were captured on local NZ news
This is something Michael Dong had been suggesting since we started the ultras last year, but I've never had the chance. And I'm guessing that unless we're following a running / swimming year-around regimen like Barefoot Ted, some of us semi-serious distance boarders would probably come close to this "weekend warrior" level of fitness. What a cool opportunity. Now just to see if they can build a treadmill wide enough to allow for PUMPING?!
