What is 4x4x48 - The 'Challenge'?
David Goggins invented a Challenge, The 4 x 4 x 48 challenge. A runner runs 4 miles(4kms) every 4 hours for 48 hours.
For example: if commencing run 1 at 6pm in the evening, that run might take around 45 minutes to do 4 miles(6.4kms) ending around 6.45pm. Then, the runner goes home, rests and eats and returns at 10pm, to do run 2, running another 4miles (6.4kms), again for 45 minutes, and this pattern repeats again at 2am, then at 6am, so on, and so forth...

Who are Glenn and Guy?
Guy Miller and Glenn Miller are two ordinary dads. We are active, partially fit and trying to be healthy runners (and Guy is a cyclist). We work hard, we play hard and we have a lot of fun with family and friends.
In May 2020, we piloted 4kms (instead of miles) every 4 hours for 48 hours and completed that 4x4x48 as a 56km 'Challenge'.

How and Why do Glenn and Guy intersect with 4x4x48?
At the core, we are two everyday dads with a twist; we challenge our hearts, we challenge our souls and we challenge our minds to bend as far as possible - we find ways to always rise to a challenge, putting humanity first and ourselves last.
Running is a great way to connect with the outdoors and mother nature. It provides an outlet to a healthy mind - time to talk, time think and more importantly, time to act on the things we think about, the things love and those we care about. The outdoors are a human playground.
This 'Challenge' is a symbol. A symbol to do something you never thought you could do, and come out on top.
Like everything in life, we do this with purpose and on the 27th November 2020, we will do this amazing 'Challenge' the way the inventor intended: 4 miles(6.4kms) every 4 hours for 48 hours (totalling 76kms) AND we will do this for a greater purpose, a Charity with purpose: Dreams2Live4.
This 4x4x48 Challenge is more than just a run. It's a chance to stop, think about yourself, think about others and together, to push yourself, your mind and your body beyond YOUR personal limits, whatever they are, to challenge yourself.
