A successful strategy for covering maximum ground in a six-day race involves starting by walking, gradually increasing to jogging at a relatively low heart rate (maximum aerobic heart rate), followed by a cool-down period, a short break, and then repeating the cycle.

“the strategy was to start slow gradually run faster start jogging gradually hit a certain plateau using the heart rate that maximum aerobic heart rate that we can talk about at some point so very easy relatively easy relatively low heart rate and then now you're two hours into the the first run maybe three hours and then you start cooling down and you take a half an hour to cool down basically just the opposite of what you did in the beginning and now you can get off the track and take a very short break and then get back on the track and do the same thing”
