Throughout a 24-hour race, the reporter Jen A. Miller tried to interview as a lot of her fellow runners as she might. Right here’s how she did it, excerpted from the Times Insider original.

Once I signed as much as run a 24-hour race beginning at 9 a.m. on New Yr’s Eve and ending at 9 a.m. on New Yr’s Day, I knew I had to report on it.

However operating and reporting could be a logistical problem.

The race was held on a paved loop simply in need of a mile; whoever clocked probably the most mileage contained in the time window could be the winner. We ran laps, which meant I noticed the identical individuals again and again. I interviewed as many runners as potential early on, after we had been recent, excited and coherent.

Despite the fact that the reported model of the race clips alongside at a dependable velocity (so I hope), the race itself was very lengthy and — to be blunt — boring.

Because it was such a protracted race, runners moved extra slowly than they usually would in one thing like a marathon. Once I noticed different runners strolling, I’d catch up and stroll at their tempo and do the interview alongside the way in which.

Close to daybreak, I ended up strolling two full laps with Michael Gagliardi, the eventual winner, who did 125 laps for 123.87 miles. I used to be foggy then, so I known as him after the race to ensure my reminiscence was correct. That led him to inform me issues that he had been too frozen to inform me on the course, together with how he had gotten by way of the evening by reminding himself that, with each passing hour, one other a part of the world was celebrating the New Yr.

Hopefully I gained’t want the pencil subsequent time.

That’s it for this briefing. Have an awesome day.
