No Tiago - I didn't notice this thread was for Oxford when I added to the thread, sorry - it is in fact Norway one of
Ha ha, oh well, I think it's for the best, I should be in recovery mode really. That mountain one sounds great. I watched the Transvulcania race on TV yesterday, and it looked amazing. Not so much in the way of mountains round here.
Transvulcania was good wasnt it Tiago? maybe one day !! we could have a school outing there! what a good excuse for a little holiday
anyway, Norway isnt THAT fa from Oxford........
Just to bounce ultraox back on the forum, i had a fabby day at NDW50, came in feeling fine and under cut off. full report over on littlebit further thread

i did Ox HM last year Dalli, it was ok but too much traffic/urban for me im a trail convert now
i would have liked to do more than one day od Druids but cant so..the 2 day cotswold ultra next April by them looks good though and not a bad price.

run hard, run long.
what do you class as hard? and what do you class as long?
haha, sorry I wasnt expecting you to reply before a sensible answer came back. Only joking about the run hard bit ........ I'll let loulabell or someone else reply as Im no expert on Ultras, dont see the point in them personally. Maybe Shin71 (waves to Shin71) can help.
gosh, David, are you recommending i give advice? but , but , maybe im one of those people who do one a year and are 'all the gear no idea' bless you. i will do my best to help Dobster
hi Dobster , where are you in Oxfordshire? im assuming you are good to see a girl on here.
Hi - I live in the sleepy town of Faringdon between Oxford and Swindon. Just training for London, ran my first marathon last year and want to carry on after this one in April. I like the idea of slowly building up the distance and being able to head out for a long run at the weekend with no goal in mind, just run! (Does that sound a bit crap??). Is there a shortage of girls in the Ultra world?
