ARTICLE END OF YEAR REVIEWERIC DOLfocusing on the Rotterdam marathon in the spring& Amsterdam in the autumn.If my legs give me permission I'd like to get in a lotmore track races in the summer with the possibilityof a stint in the Alps to improve my uphill runningstrength/endurance.What were your (running) highlights of 2012?2012 was a mixed year for me. I missed the whole ofJanuary & the summer due to injury. But I stillmanaged to get PBs across all of the distances from3000m to the marathon.My favourite races were the Crawley 12hr where Ilearnt that I could actually run for 12hrs off ofmarathon training & the Great South Run where Iran a PB the day after the Beachy Head Marathon,an unexpected performance after still feelingrelatively unfit.What are your (running) goals for 2013?The race I'm most looking forward to in 2013 will bethe GUCR where I can't wait to test myself againstthe distance.I'd also like to run PBs across the board again whilst18 ULTRA TALES | JANUARY 2013Sponsored by thehttp://
ARTICLE2013 ULTRA EVENTSJames Adams gives us a preview of upcoming UK basedUltra Events in 20132013 ULTRA EVENTS PREVIEWby James AdamsThere are now too many ultras in the UK for me tolist them all. The fantasticwww.Ultramarathonrunning.com has every ultralisted there and pretty much any in the world.Instead I'll list the ones I am familiar with.I'd also like to thank everyone out there who is inany way involved in putting on races. There is now ahuge selection of stuff to do every weekend and theprofessionalism and dedication by others to put onsafe and interesting events is truly amazing and Ifeel privileged to be part of the UK ultra runningscene. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.If I can give a quick plug to my three favourite raceorganisers in the UK...I am an ambassador for Endurance Life. I think theyput on incredible events on the beautiful coastlineof Great Britain. Every month by the sea you'll seean amazing event somewhere on the coast and theformat is great, there is a 10k, a half marathon, amarathon and then an ultra marathon (approx. 33miles usually). This means that you can go with agroup of runners and there is something foreveryone. I did one recently with my Dad and Stepmum.The courses are very well marked, usuallyvery tough but beautiful. If you are thinking of"stepping up" to a hard trail marathon or ultra thenthis is the place to do it. Loads of choice and if youfancy something extreme then there is a 100-milerace too. If you are handy on a bike or in a boat thenthere is lots of multi sport too.Centurion Running have spent the last two yearsbecoming the British standard for 100-mile races.James Elson runs an incredible show with is 4x100mile events in the UK. They usually sell out quickly,they get many international and top quality runnersand they always get glowing feedback at the end.Obviously these are 100-mile races and so are notbeginner’s races but if you are looking to step up to100 or are a veteran of 100 milers and want toexperience a well organised big event atmospherethat was previously only available in the USA thenthis is the place to go.XNRG have created a fantastic portfolio of eventson great trails around the UK. These events aremulti-day, meaning running ultras for 2/3 days in arow. If you are training for something like theMarathon Des Sables or fancy seeing what you cando in a multi day then this is the place. Verybeginner friendly but also accommodating of thesuper quick. The post run atmosphere is great, youget to know others really well.Right then, lets get to it.JanuaryWhy not bring in the new year with an ultra. Go onyou know you want to. Someone had to do it andhere it is the Hardmoors 30 on the 1st Jan.12th the Country to Capital from Go Beyond takesin 20 odd miles of lovely trail then 20 odd miles oflovely canal. 45 miles from Wendover to LittleVenice, usually helps to remind you all of how fatwe got over Christmas. The trick here is to run asfast as you can for the first 200 meters and then tryto hang on for the remaining 45 miles. I have donethis for the last three years and love it. I'll be thereagain.Endurance Life have organised great coastalmarathons and Ultras in the past and now areadding an Ultra option to all of their CTS series, thefirst this year being in Anglesey on the 19th. I didthis last year and the scenery is spectacular but theweather can be harsh. Be sure to sign up for thefantastic Livemore Lectures afterwards. I did thislast year.A classic from the LDWA, the Winter Tanners onSunday 20th. Sunday 20th also has the Gloucester19 ULTRA TALES | JANUARY 2013Sponsored by thehttp://
