What are the rules for speedrunning a game that might take longer than a day?

Can you pause the timer as long as you continue to record? (for validation purposes)

Are there any exceptions you can pause the timer for? Stretching, restroom, food, etc?

I am new to the community and am interested in running a couple of games I know; only problem is they take a long time.

Appreciate any help, reference, or guidance that can be provided.

Hey all, I am new to this community and have been watching a lot of GDQ, individual streamers, and have been able to figure out some of the rules.

In order for a run to be considered it needs to be fully recorded uninterrupted.

Are there any additional rules a runner should be aware of?

Does the footage need to be uploaded to a specific location?
