I've traveled throughout most all of China, however I've never been to where you see there on the left - the Yunnan Mountains - that looks to me like quite the risky path to travel...no thinks....however China based producer Jay Rothstein said Tuesday that David Ren will direct his next project, "Distance Runners" - there in the Yunnan Mountains. "Distance Runners," a $2.4 million co-production between Rothstein's China Venture Films and Yunnan Minority Film Studio, is the story of a Chinese ultra-marathon runner who tries to tackle a 100-mile run through the mountains of Yunnan."I wanted someone bilingual, experienced and who understands both cultures," Rothstein said. "I also wanted someone I felt had his heart and soul in the film. David's very passionate."Ren, who directed "Shanghai Kiss" in 2007, was born in Shanghai but grew up in New York City. There are only a small handful of movies on ultrarunners - I'm glad to see this in the works!

Coming Soon: A Film of a Chinese Ultra Marathoner - 100 miles in the Yunnan Mountains

I have a serious question--for marathoners the wall comes at 20 miles when the glycogen is gone and the fat burning process isn't efficient enough to sustain the effort.
Where's "wall" for ultras or the 24-hour races? Are their bodies just so accustomed to making the transition to burning fat that there is no wall or are they going slowly enough where most of their energy is coming from fat in the first place? Or are they getting enough carbs continuously during the run? I actually just found an article about a runner hitting the wall at mile 34 in a 50 mile race, so I guess it happens even to them.
Would love to see this movie!
