THE RISE OF THEULTRA RUNNERS:AJOURNEY TO THE EDGE OF HUMANENDURANCE
乌尔特拉（Theultra）跑步者的崛起：阿乔尼（Ajourney）到人类的边缘

2

While I'm not exactly hooked,I find myself being drawn in,intrigued to findout more about this world ofultra running.A few weeks after Oman,I get to meet Elisabet again.I've been commis- sioned to interview her for an article for the Guardian,so she comes to meet me at the newspaper's offices in central London,where we sit on leather sofas,drinking espresso as people queue to buy their lunchtimesandwiches.I ask her how she first started ultra running.
虽然我并不完全迷上，但我发现自己被吸引了，很感兴趣地发现了更多关于这个世界跑步的世界。阿曼几周后，我再次见面Elisabet 。 《卫报》的一篇文章，所以她来到伦敦市中心的Newspape R办事处会见我，我们坐在皮革沙发上，喝浓缩咖啡作为人们排队购买他们的午餐时间和午餐时间。

She tells me she used to be a keen marathon runner,fitting her training in around a well- paid job in London's financial district.'T kept improving,'she says.'But there came a point when I thought,what shall I donow?I could run a marathon faster-which is,of course,difficult,and a good challenge-or I could go further.And Ijust thought it would be interesting to explore the going further.'

Her decision to delve into ultra running was accelerated by some unexpected life events. Within a short span of time her father died,her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's,and her husband got cancer.'All of those things,'she says,'make you realise thatlife isvery short,andyou just have to do it,you can't sitandwait.'

So she quit her job in the City and set off in search of adventure.To fund her way she set up her running shop,but since winning the MdS and now the Oman race,people have started writing articles about her,and sponsorship deals have beguntocome her way.This makes it easier for her to travel to races and take on morechallenges.What started off as a risky move seems to be paying off.

Listening to her talk,I too feela stirring.It reminds me of the feeling I had when Ifirst decided to run a marathon.The idea had been hovering on the horizon for years,watching me as Itackled shorter races,wondering what was taking me so long.Suddenly,it was time.Life was moving on. So I ran a marathon.
听她的演讲，我也感觉到了。这让我感到自己的感觉，当伊法尔斯特决定参加马拉松比赛时。这个想法已经徘徊多年了，看着我看着我的短赛车，想知道这是怎么回事我这么久了，这是时候了。所以我参加了马拉松比赛。

Ever since then,on the horizon,I keep catching glimpses of a trail up a mountain.A long, winding trail.I'm forty-two years old.I've had a few decent attempts at the marathon.Maybe it is time to explore the going further.To explore just what it is that people find out there on that trail that compels them to run these improbable distances.
从那时起，我一直在地平线上瞥见一条小径上的小径，一条蜿蜒曲折的小径。我四十二岁。我在马拉松比赛中进行了一些体面的尝试。是时候进一步探索这一行动了。揭示人们在那条小径上发现的是迫使他们在这些不可思议的距离上发现的东西。

It's so intriguing that I'm soon on the phone to my editor.'Tthink I've foundmy nextsubject,'I say.I've written booksabout travelling to Kenya and Japan to explore two unique running cultures. This time I'm drawn to investigate a cross-cultural,global phenomenon,which I'm onlyjust begin-
这真是令人着迷，我很快就会打电话给我的编辑。​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​这次我被吸引研究一种跨文化的全球现象，我只是开始-

ning to realise is so huge.What is this world of ultra running?Who are the people takingpart? What is itall about?The best way to find out,I decide,isto sign up for another race.
意识到这么大。我决定，最好的方法是注册另一场比赛。​​​

Over the last decade,ultra running has grown at a staggering rate,becomingone of the fastest- growing sports in the world.
在过去的十年中，超级跑步速度的增长是世界上增长最快的运动的发展。

The website runultra.co.uk lists most of the world's biggest ultra marathons.Its founder,Steve Diederich,tells me that when he set it up twelve years ago he found 160 races listed globally.He now has over 1,800 races on the site-an increase of over 1,000 per cent.The German ultra run- ning website DUV,meanwhile,lists the results of many smaller races,with its forensic database going all the way back to the first 89km London to Brighton race in 1837.Over the last ten years the site plots a similar 1,000 per cent increase in the number of ultra races around the world.
网站runultra.co.uk列出了世界上大多数最大的Ultra Maratho NS.ITS创始人Steve Diederich，告诉我，当他将其设置十二年前时，他在全球列出了160场比赛。他现在在网站上有1,800多场比赛。 - 增加了超过1,000％的人。与此同时，德国超级奔跑网站杜夫（Duv）列出了许多较小种族的结果，其法医数据库一直回到1837年的第一个89公里伦敦到布莱顿比赛。最后一年该网站绘制了相似的1,000 ％​​​ ID = 70>在世界各地的Ultra比赛中。

Andy Nuttall,the editor of ULTRA magazine,drilled down deeper into the DUV statistics and found that in the UK the rise of the sport hasbeen even steeper:in 2000,only 595 people finished an ultra marathon in the UK.By 2017,the number of finishers had grown to 18,611.
Ultra Magazine的编辑Andy Nuttall对DUV统计数据进行了深入研究，并发现在英国， Sport Hosbeen的兴起甚至更陡峭： 2000年，只有595人在英国举行了一场超级马拉松比赛， 2017年，2017年，这是一场超级马拉松比赛。 Nu Mber的成品已增长到18,611 。

Everywhere I look,it's a similar story.Ultra Running magazine in the US collects figures for North America,which show the number ofraces and finishers increasing every year since 1981.In Asia,too,the number of ultra races has exploded.Nic Tinworth,a race director in Hong Kong,tells me that ten years ago there were six ultra races in the territory,but that there are now over sixty. In previous years,'he says,'you couldjustturn upon the day in Hong Kong and enter,but now the most popular races sell out in minutes.'
我到处都在看，这是一个类似的故事。美国的《跑步杂志》为北美收集了数字，这表明自1981年以来，每年都有数量和终结者的数量在亚洲。香港的一名竞赛总监告诉我，十年前，该领土上有六场超级比赛，但现在有六十多场比赛。在过去的几年中，”他说，“您可以在香港的那一天进入并进入，但现在 ID = 73>最受欢迎的比赛在几分钟之内售罄。

Many of the world's most over-subscribed races,such as the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc in France and the Western States 100 in theUS,have had toimplement lotterysystems to copewith the numbers wanting to take part.Diederich manages the UK entries for the Marathon des Sables. Despite the steepf4,250 entry fee,he says the race sells out each year in a couple of minutes.
世界上许多最征收的种族，例如法国和西方州100的Ultra-Trail du Mont-blanc ，在Theus中，有训练的彩色系统，可以与想要参与的数字保持一致。 Diederich管理英国马拉松比赛的参赛作品。​尽管有4,250个入场费，但他说，这场比赛每年在几分钟内售罄。

What are all these runners striving for?I experienced something transformative in Oman that stayed with me long after therace.But I sense there is more to discover.Ifell apart over thelast two stages and almost gave up.Imagine ifI could stay strong,even in theface of such a challenge.
这些跑步者都在努力吗？我在阿曼经历了一些变革性的事情，在Therace之后很久就一直与我在一起。但是我感觉到还有更多发现的发现。Ifell在Thelast上分开了两个阶段，几乎放弃了。ImimagineIFI可以保持坚强，即使在这种挑战的面。

I remember being struck by a photograph I saw of the Spanish ultra athlete AzaraGarcía,who has a tattoo on her legthat reads(in Spanish):
我记得我看到了我看到的西班牙超级运动员Azaragarcía的Photograp H ，她的腿上有纹身（西班牙语）：

TheDevilwhispered in my ear:'You're not strong enough to withstand the storm.' I whispered back:'T am the storm.'
在我的ear中，Thedevilwhisper ：“您不足以承受暴风雨。”我低声说：“这是暴风雨。”

THE RISE OFTHE ULTRARUNNERS:AJOURNEY TO THE EDGE OF HUMAN ENDURANCE
超级奔跑者的崛起：阿乔尼（Ajourney）到人类耐力的边缘

Is this the appeal of ultra running?To push ourselves to a place where we stand face to face with the Devil,the depths of the struggle,but then to rise up and overcome it?Could I stare into the storm-whatever it may be,whatever is thrown at me-and overwhelm it with the force of my will?It is an enticing thought.And a far cry from the FT journalist complaining because his bus to the hotel is late.
这是超级奔跑的吸引力吗？将自己推到一个我们与魔鬼，斗争深度面对面的地方​​​​​​​​​​​​​我的意志的力量对我扔了什么？这是一个诱人的想法，与FT记者抱怨的哭声相去甚远，因为因为他使用公共汽车到酒店很晚。

I have to admit,this is all very appealing to my ego.I find myself watching a documentary about human evolution and the role running played in it,and a Professor of Anthropology at Hunter College in New York says:'We even have on record humans who can run 100 miles in one go.'He says it as if it is scarcely credible,like these must be some kind of super-humans.And I spy my egoglancing over at me with that cocksure look thatsays:you could do that.
必须承认，这对我的自我非常有吸引力。我发现自己观看了有关人类进化和Ru Nning在其中扮演的纪录片，纽约亨特学院的人类学教授说： “我们甚至继续说：记录人类一口气跑100英里的人。​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​可以做到。

As the US comedian andultra runner Michelle Wolf puts it in an interview with Runner's World magazine:'Tt does kind of make you feel like a badass.'
正如美国喜剧演员和杜尔特拉（Andultra）跑步者米歇尔·沃尔夫（Michelle Wolf）在接受《跑步者世界》杂志采访时所说：“ TT确实使您感觉像个坏蛋。”

Talking to other ultra runners,however,I get the feeling that it isn't only the satisfaction and validation of overcoming the challenge and making it tothe finish that appeals to them,but also the feeling of oblivion they get from striding into the midst of the storm in the first place,from teetering so close to the edge.Digging in the pain cave,as seasoned ultra runners describe it with relish.
然而，与其他超级不合适的交谈，我感到这不仅是克服Chall Enge并使其具有吸引力的终点的满意和验证，还可以使他们从迈向他们的感觉。​​首先，风暴中间是从如此靠近边缘的摇摇欲坠。​​​​​​​​​

When I start scouting aroundfor racesto enter,I find myself looking at the race profiles,and each time I feel a ripple of fear in my stomach.It seems that everyultra racehas to produce a slick, short film with dramatic,sweeping shots and lots of high drama.And always,at some point,it shows someone looking broken,close totears.The runners look more like survivors of some near- apocalyptic disaster than sportsmen and women.It is telling that these are the images they choose to advertise the race.People want to experience this despair,they want to get this close to their own self-destruction.
当我进入种族时，我会发现自己看着比赛的概况，每次我都会感到恐惧的皱巴巴，这是每一个赛车都可以制作出一部光滑的短片，并带有戏剧性的，伟大的镜头，镜头和很多高戏剧性。在某个时候，它总是显示出某人看上去很折断，关闭的totear。跑步者看起来比运动员和女性更像是一些近世界末日的灾难。种族。人们想体验到这种绝望，他们想让自己接近自己的自我毁灭。

Many ultra runners tell me they were inspired to take up the sport after reading Dean Kar- nazes's first book,Ultra Marathon Man.In it he describes in minute detail the process of being broken bya 100-mile race,with one thing afteranother failing in his body and mind until it seems nothing is left and he is literally crawling along the road on his hands and knees.I read it and I shudder.I don't want to hurt that badly.But other runners say they read that and thought:‘That's what I want.
许多Ultra跑步者告诉我，在阅读Dean Karnazes的第一本书《 Ultra Marathon Man 》之后，他受到启发，从事这项运动。​​​​​​​​呃，他的身心失败了，直到似乎没有剩下的东西，他实际上是在手和膝盖上爬行。​​​​​​​​​​​​​ id = 75>他们读了并思考：'这就是想要的。

So,a little scared,but withmyego convinced thatI'm tough enough,I begin to search for a race that will give me the full experience of ultra running,that will deliver me into the heart of this growing sport,that will reveal the secrets and allow meto fully understand what is going on.
因此，有点害怕，但是由于Myego坚信，我很难艰难，我开始寻找一场比赛，这将为我提供超级跑步的完整体验，这将使我成为这项不断发展的运动的核心，这将揭示出秘密Al低元素完全了解发生了什么。

It is a big,unwieldy thing to getmy headaround,asport morphing in many directions at once. With no central overseeing body or organisation,the races,interest groups and self-appointed
使我的前身，同时在许多方向上变形是一件大的，笨拙的事情。没有中央监督或组织，种族，利益集团和自我任命

guardians of ultra running jostle and fight for control and fora cut of the increasing amounts of money sloshing around.It's a Wild West ofa sport,still untamed,with many of the original pro- spectors fiercely protective ofit,pushing back against the encroachment of brands'and'outsiders' -people,they feel,who don't understand the ethos of the sport.For many,part of the appeal of ultra running is its low-key,Into the Wild'minimalism,a chance to lose yourself in the wilder- ness,to cross the toughest,most extreme environments on Earth with little more than a flask of waterand a rainjacket.
超级奔跑的守护者，争取控制和控制越来越多的金钱晃动。它是一个狂野的西部港口，仍然没有受到驯服，许多原始的亲人都施加了猛烈的保护性保护性，向后退，推动他们认为，成就品牌和'out'outsiders' - 他们不了解这项运动的精神。对于许多人来说，超级奔跑的吸引力是其低调的一部分，是野生'Minimalis M在荒野中迷失自己，越过​​ ID = 72 >最艰难，地球上极端环境，只有一瓶水和雨衣。

For some seasoned ultra runners,the influx of newcomers is already too much,and they are turning their backs on the big races in search of more isolated challenges.One outlet for these people,who hate mass starts and goodybags even more than a long night of hypothermia cling- ing to the side of a frozenrock face,is another growing phenomenon called FKTs(Fastest Known Times).This is where people head off,often alone,to run a set routefaster than anyone ever(know- ingly)has before.It could be from one end of New Zealand to the other,or a famous hiking trail such asthe Appalachian Trail in the US.Or to the top of Mount Everest.
对于一些经验丰富的超级跑步者而言，新来者的涌入已经太多了，他们正在反向更孤立的挑战的大型比赛。这些人的媒体是，他们讨厌群众的人，而戈德巴格则比一个比一个更大的东西漫长的体温过低的夜晚紧贴在冰冻岩面的一侧，是另一个名为FKTS的现象（最快的已知时代）。这是人们通常独自一人前往固定路线的地方，比任何人都更快地运行固定路线（ ）之前。​​​​​​ ID = 71>对另一个的西兰，或一条著名的远足小径，例如美国的阿巴拉契亚T轨，或到珠穆朗玛峰的顶部。

But I'll find out more about these later.For now I am looking for races.They are OK with me.I have run many races over the years.I'mjustlooking to runfurther,that's all.
但是我稍后会发现更多有关这些的信息。现在我正在寻找比赛。他们还可以。多年来，我参加了许多比赛。

A word you commonly hear when people talk about ultra races is 'runnable'.Some races are considered more runnable than others.Thisdoesn't necessarily mean you can run the whole way, unless you're one of the sport's superstars,but in theory the trail is smooth enough,the ascents and descents manageable enough,that you can run most of it.Some athletes complain when races are too runnable.These peopleprefer the opposite,known in ultra jargon as 'technical'races, where the climbs and descents are too steep and the ground too uneven to run freely.Races where you need to watch your step and occasionally use your hands.
当Peo Ple谈论超级比赛是“可奔跑的”时，您通常会听到的一个词。某些种族比其他种族更容易跑。​​​​​​但是从理论上讲，步道足够平稳，上升和下降足够可管理，您可以在大部分时间里运行。当比赛太跑时，有些运动员抱怨这些人相反，在Ultra Jar Gon中被称为“ Technology'Races”，称为“技术”攀登和下降太陡，牙齿d的地方太不平坦而无法运行 id = 69>自由。您需要观察步骤并偶尔使用双手。

I definitely veer towards runnable over technical.Sure,we canwalk the tough parts,and I'm OK with some scrambling over rocks,but ifIdo this,I still want to run.
绝对可以转向te te Chnical 。​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The world of ultra running is atree with many branches.The oldest of these,at leastin the UK, is fell running,known as hill runningin Scotland and mountain running in Ireland.These races can be of any length,from a mile to unfixed ultra distances,and take place across mountains and on mostly unmarked routes,meaning some self-navigation is usually required.The first known fell race took place way back in 1040,when King Malcolm Canmore of Scotland organised one in Braemar in Aberdeenshire to help him select a swift messenger.
Ultra Running的世界是Atree的世界，有许多分支机构，其中最古老的是英国跌倒，被称为爱尔兰的Hill Runningin scotland和Mountain在爱尔兰跑步。​​​​发生在Ains山和大多数未标记的路线上，这意味着通常需要进行一些自动化。首次已知的跌倒比赛是在1040年进行的，当时苏格兰国王Malcolm Canmore在Aberdeenshire的Braemar组织了一名，以帮助他选择迅捷的迅速信使。

Despite its long history,fellrunning remainsa parochial branchof the sport.Its local roots and low-key,no-nonsense character are part ofits appeal and are fiercely protected.I'dlove to try it,but when I think about takingupultra running,what I'm really imagining is something more global and all-encompassing.The part of the sport responsible for the boom in numbers
尽管历史悠久，但这项运动的疯狂遗物狭och。我真的想象是全球性的，全球性的一部分，负责这项运动的繁荣.

THE RISE OF THEULTRA RUNNERS:AJOURNEY TO THEEDGE OFHUMAN ENDURANCE
乌尔特拉跑步者的崛起：阿乔尼（Ajourney）到人类耐力

Another branch of ultra running,and one that is seeing a big rise in the number of people taking part,is the multi-day stage races suchas the Marathon des Sables,which are usually held in exotic,inhospitable places:deserts,the jungle,the Arctic Circle.These races are expensive to enter and require lots of planning
超级跑步的另一个分支，看到参加人数的人数很大，是多日舞台比赛，例如马拉松赛，通常在异国情调的，荒凉的地方举行：沙漠，丛林，丛林，丛林，北极圈。这些比赛很昂贵，需要大量计划.

There is disdainin some parts of the ultra running world towards some of these big multi-day races.Part of the resentment is against the cost and the corresponding hype of races such as the MdS.'A holiday for CEOs'is how one ultra runner described them to me.Having been out there in the desert,I could see it was tough and gruelling,but also we did spend a good part of each day re- covering in our tents.And despite being completely unprepared for it,I had been running near the front of the race for much of the time.A holiday may be pushing it,but I'm sure there are tougher, more competitive racesout there.
超级跑步世界中的某些部分有些不屑一顾，其中一些大型日期竞赛。一方面，不满的是违反成本和相应的种族炒作，例如MDS 。​​​跑步者向我描述了他们。在沙漠中享受了be，我可以看到这是艰难而艰难的，但是我们每天都花了很大一部分时间在帐篷里覆盖。尽管完全没有准备，我一直在比赛的前面跑步​ ID = 72>在大部分时间里，假期可能会推动它，但我确信那里的比赛更加激烈。

Indeed,another offshoot of the sport includes a whole host of racesso tough and extreme that each one seems to occupy its own category.These include races such as the Spine Race,which traverses 268 miles of the Pennine Way in the north of England.Non-stop.In January.Or the Badwater 135,which starts in Death Valley in California,oneof the hottest placeson Earth,where temperatures in the race have hit 54℃.Or the Barkley Marathons,an extreme 100-milerace on an unmarked route through remote mountains in Tennessee-so tough that in the first twenty-five years of the race only ten people managed to finish it.Orthere is the longest ultrarace in the world: the SelfTranscendence 3100,which is a 3,100-mile race around a single city block in New York City.
的确，这项运动的另一项分支包括大量的Racesso Tough and Extreme ，每个人似乎都占据了自己的类别。这些种族将赛车作为脊柱种族，在英格兰北部横穿Pennine Way的268英里。 1月份或Badwater 135，从加利福尼亚的Deat H Valley开始，这是最热的地方地球，在比赛中，比赛中的温度H Ave命中了54℃或Barkley Marathons ，这是一场极端的100英里兰穿过田纳西州偏远山脉的未标记路线 ID = 71 >很难的是，在比赛的头二十五年中，只有十个人设法完成了比赛。在纽约市。

I'm looking for something to push me to my limits,but I'm not insane.And I still want to run. You can't run for 3,100 miles.Races like the Barkley Marathons are more about your wits,your mind and your survival skills than running.I want that,too,but I want it to still be,to some de- gree,a runningrace.
我正在寻找将我推到极限s的东西，但我并不疯狂。仍然想跑步。您不能跑3,100英里。像巴克利马拉松一样的划线更多地是关于您的智慧，您的思想和生存技巧，而不是跑步。​​ 。

Another offshoot of the ultra world,one where you can run,are the mostly flat,looped races over accurately measured distances such as 100km,or races that go on for a set time,such as 24- hourraces.There are world championships and world records in these races,which bear the clos- est resemblance to regular marathon running
超级世界的另一个分支是您可以跑步的，这是一场大多数平面，循环的比赛，例如100公里，例如100公里或持续时间的比赛，例如24-Hourraces。这些比赛的记录与常规马拉松比赛非常相似.

These races interest me,but,like fell running,they aren't the reason for the phenomenal rise in ultra running.Little has changed in the participation levels in these events since the 1980s,or the 1950s,or even way back to their heyday in the 1870s.
这些种族让我感兴趣，但是就像跌倒一样，它们并不是超级跑步现象上升的原因。从1980年代或1950年代或甚至回到他们的事件中，这些事件的参与程度发生了变化1870年代的鼎盛时期。

It's an interesting aside to note that while these fixed-loop ultra races are today among the least glamorous and least heralded of all the ultra running branches,they were once among the biggest sporting events in the world.
撇开一个有趣的是，尽管这些固定环超级比赛是当今所有超级跑步分支中最不迷人且最不明显的比赛之一，但它们曾经是世界上最大的体育赛事之一。

It seems strange to us now,but in the nineteenth century,the sport of ultra running was incredibly popular,with huge crowds turning up to cheer on competitors in six-day races around tight indoor tracks in London or at New York's Madison Square Garden.Hefty prizes worth hun- dreds of thousands of pounds in today's money were taken home by the victors,while the fash- ionable and well-to-do of the day mingled with the rowdy crowds that turned upto bet,drink and socialise.
现在对我们来说似乎很奇怪，但是在19日的第十九纪念日中，超级跑步运动非常受欢迎，巨大的Cr Owds在伦敦或纽约麦迪逊广场周围的六天竞赛中为竞争者加油打气花园。今天的钱价值数千英镑的奖金是由维克多（ Victor s）带回家的，而那一天的愚蠢和良好的奖金与那天的喧闹人群混合在一起，这些人群与那些变成赌注的饮料并进行了社交活动。

The sport rose in popularity in part on the back of the exploits of an American namedEdward Payson Weston.It all began when,in 1861,after losing a bet with a friend over the outcome of the 1860 presidential election,he was forced to walk the 478 miles from Boston to Washington DC in ten days,in aneffort to make it in time to witness the inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln.  As news of his feat of endurance got out,it stirred the curiosity of people living along the route,and crowds started coming out and lining the streets to see him walk through their town.
这项运动的流行程度在某种程度上是在一名名叫Payson Weston的美国人的漏洞的背面。这一切始于1861年，在与一个朋友失去了1860年总统大选的结果后，他被迫走路。从波士顿到华盛顿特区的478英里在十天内，在阿纳夫特（Anfort）及时见证了亚伯拉罕·林肯（ Abraham Lincol ）总统的就职典礼。随着他的耐力壮举的消息，它激起了人们沿着路线的人们的好奇心，人群开始出来并衬里 ID = 70>看到他穿过他们的城镇的街道。

Hecaused such a stir that when he got to Washington,although he missed the inauguration by a few hours,he was invited to the president's ball that evening and got to shake hands with Presi- dent Lincoln.
Hecaude如此激动，以至于当他到达华盛顿时，尽管他错过了几个小时的就职典礼，但当晚他被邀请参加总统的舞会，并与总统林肯握手。

Encouraged by this reaction,over the next few years Westonundertooka series of ever more challenging routes.By all accounts a showman-he sometimes played a bugle while walking,or walked backwards to entertain thecrowds-by the 1870s Weston's fame as a long-distance walker had grown to the point where he decided to capitalise by bringing his act indoors where he could charge people to watch.As aresult he set in motion a craze for six-day races-the longest time you could walk and run without encroaching on the sanctity ofthe Sabbath.Over the next few years he held a series of closely foughtand wildly popular head-to-head matches with an Irish American called Daniel O'Leary.
受到这种反应的鼓舞，在接下来的几年中，韦斯诺恩·德鲁卡（ Westonun Dertooka ）系列越来越具有挑战性的路线。​​​​​​​远距离沃克已经成长到他决定通过将自己的表演带到这里来利用的地步​​​​​​​​​​​​​侵占安息日的神圣性。 ID = 69>接下来的几年，他与爱尔兰美国人丹尼尔·奥利里（Daniel O'Leary）举行了一系列非常受欢迎的头对头比赛。

The six-day race reached its pinnacle in 1878 when a British nobleman,Sir John Astley,spon- sored five international races for lucrative prize money and a championship gold and silver belt inscribed with the words'Long Distance Champion of the World'.
这场为期六天的比赛在1878年达到了巅峰之作，当时一个贵族贵族约翰·阿斯特利爵士（Sir John Astley）因有利可图的奖金而赢得了五场国际比赛，冠军的黄金和银色腰带上刻有长途冠军。

Previous incarnations of the sport of pedestrianism,as itwas known,are recorded asfar back as theearly 1700s.While these races,often of 1,000 milesin length,also drew large crowds,they were strictly walking races,with rules about heel-to-toe contact similar totoday's walking com- petitions.In contrast,the six-day races of the 1870s were more akin to modernultra running,and became known as 'go-as-you-please'matches in which contestants could walk,run or rest when- ever they wanted.

英国人反对来自美国西部旧敌人的爱尔兰出生的O'Leary 。

The second Astley Belt race was held later thatyear before capacity crowds totalling over 30,000 at Madison Square Garden in New York.O'Leary,the champion,won again to take home the $10,000 first prize(over $250,000 in today's money),plus a portion of the gate and side-bets.
第二届阿斯特利腰带R ACE随后举行了，在纽约的麦迪逊广场花园的容量人群中，冠军冠军赢得了10,000美元的一等奖（今天的钱超过250,000美元），再加上一个大门和侧篮的一部分。

The third race,in March 1879,again at Madison Square Garden,had a first prize of over $20,000.Public interest in the competition was now so intense that hourly bulletins were posted in the city's bar-rooms,barber shops,grocery stores andhotels,and the city's newspapers carried daily reports.
1879年3月的第三场比赛再次在麦迪逊广场花园（Madison Square Garden），获得了超过20,000美元的一等奖。对比赛的公共兴趣现在如此激烈，以至于每小时的Bulle Tins被张贴在城市的酒吧房，Barb ER商店，杂货店，杂货店Andhotels和该市的报纸每天都有报道。

It wasn't until the fourth race that the sport's great pioneer,Edward Weston,finally got his hands on the unofficial world title.With the race back in Islington,London,the American won in a newworld best,covering a total of 550 miles over the six days.
直到第四场比赛，这项运动的先驱者爱德华·韦斯顿（ Edward Weston ）终于获得了非正式的世界冠军。在伦敦伊斯灵顿的比赛中，美国人以新世界的最佳成绩获胜，总共覆盖了550英里在六天内。

Alas,in the 1880s the sport went into decline as othersports began to grow to rival it.Matthew Algeo,author of the book Pedestrianism:When Watching People Walk Was America's FavoriteSpecta- tor Sport,says the rise of cycling,in particular,was key to the demise of the six-day races.
