Patience: Ellie Greenwood’s 2012 Western States 100 Race Report

 Sometimes running your best is about not running at all, or at least knowing when not to run yet having the faith in the running you have already done in the months leading up to a big race. This could not have been more true for me before this weekend’s Western States 100 miler. I had raced a hard 89km downhill effort on roads just 20 days prior (Comrades), yet for any ultra runner a 20-day taper into a race seems unfathomably long

Tim Noakes on the Serious Problem of Overhydration in Endurance Sports | Outdoor Adventure Blog | OutsideOnline.com

 South African exercise scientist Dr. Tim Noakes wants to change the way endurance athletes think about hydration. He believes that, over the course of the last 30 years, people have been scared into drinking too much fluid while exercising. As a result, he says performance has suffered and people have died. He’s counted a dozen deaths in endurance events caused by exercise-associated hyponatremia, a condition that results when athletes drink too much fluid.

2012 Badwater Race Zine

It's here! The 2012 Badwater Ultramarathon Race Magazine:
Note that we decreased the Race Magazine size a few years ago in order to save trees. If you print a copy, PLEASE be sure to set it to print two pages to a page (since the pages are half of a normal page size). Thanks to Kevin Fung for the design and layout, and to 508 veteran Bob Corman of Team Spike the Wonder Dog who will publish the printed version!
