Ring o Fire - Isle of Anglesey

The inaugural Ring o Fire starts on the 31st August 2012

Nice one Q. How are preparations going? It's pretty cool that you now have the Institute for the Physchology of Elite Performance & The Extremes from Bangor University involved. It looks like scientists are taking quite a bit of interest in ultra races these days!

Do you have any training tips for people who are working up to this distance, in particular regarding nutrition and injury management before and during the race?

By the way Q, I notice you nearly have 100 runners now. Are you likely to be extending the amount of spaces available, or will there be a waiting list?
