Could my younger brother complete an ultra marathon 150km over two days he is 16 and is rowing so is already reasonably fit but understands much training is needed is this a realistic idea?
Randyseahorse
No!!! At 16, he isn't finished growing, the training and race of 150km could cause him permanent damage. He should wait for at least 2 to 3 years before moving up in distance to even 42km. Most marathons will not allow under-18 year-olds to run at all, and every ultra race I know is the same - in fact most of them recommend over-21, with at least a few marathons and shorter ultra races before attempting anything over 100km (24h or longer).
