The Production
Early on the morning of September 19th, Brian Mackenzie and Carl Borg will step to the starting line of the Angeles Crest 100-mile endurance run.
Over the next 24 plus hours, they, along with a contingent of fellow endurance athletes, will traverse the wilderness trails of the San Gabriel backcountry in pursuit of a goal few can comprehend and even fewer set out to accomplish.
But these two will be different. They will look different. They will run differently. They will eat differently. They will have trained differently.
Throughout the summer leading up to the event, we will bear witness to the beginnings of a revolution within the endurance community—a revolution being led by Mackenize and Borg, creators of CrossFit Endurance.
We will watch them deadlift their way toward the finish line. We will watch them step onto a treadmill and four minutes later come crashing to the floor, eyes unable to focus, lungs burning, heart fighting to catch up with itself-but having accomplished something very real.
What we won’t see them do is spend hours upon hours on their feet, logging mile after mile of slow, painful “progress”. What we won’t see them do is eat pasta before the run, or ever, for that matter. What we won’t see them do is follow traditional endurance training protocol.
100milemovie.com will be home to the production, providing updates on filming, photographs and sneak peeks of the footage gathered on the way to the finish line.
