Relentless Forward Progress: A Guide to Running Ultramarathons
Marathons have become too easy for some runners. What was once the pinnacle of achievement in a runner’s life is now a stepping stone for extraordinary adventure in ultramarathoning. The number of ultrarunners—those running distances of 50k (31miles), 50 miles, 100k (62 miles), or 100 miles—is growing astronomically each year.
Dean Karnazes’ Ultramarathon Man and Chris McDougall’s Born to Run have inspired tens of thousands to try these seemingly superhuman distances. But to date, there has been no practical guide to ultramarathoning. Now, Bryon Powell has written Relentless Forward Progress, the first how-to manual for aspiring ultrarunners. Powell covers every aspect of training for and racing ultra distances. This encyclopedic volume prepares runners for going farther than they have ever gone before and, in the process, shows them that they are capable of the “impossible.”
About the Author

His articles have also been published in Outside, Running Times, Trail Runner, Competitor, and UltraRunning.Bryon is a contributing editor at Trail Runner and is an advisory board member of the American Trail Running Association. He lives in Park City, Utah. As a runner, he has twice placed in the top ten at the Leadville 100 (’06 & ’09), twice won the under-30 age group at the Western States 100 (’05 & ’06), and was part of the first American team to place in the top three at Morocco’s Marathon des Sables (’09).READ MORE

O termo ultramaratona serve para identificar corridas a pé que tenham uma distância superior a 42.195 metros, que é a distância oficial da maratona. Fora a distância da prova, utiliza-se um segundo critério na definição de ultramaratona: o tempo. Existem, por exemplo, provas de 6, 12, 24 ou 48 horas.22

AdventureCORPS®, Inc. hosts BADWATER® Salton Sea annually in May. This remarkable event challenges up to 40 teams of two or three ultrarunners – running together as duos or trios for the duration, NOT in a relay – to tackle an unimaginable traverse of Southern California deserts and mountains. The route covers 81 miles (130km) from Salton City (elevation 234 feet / 71m below sea level) to Palomar Mountain, the almost tallest mountain in San Diego County (elevation 5500 feet / 1676m.) Eight of the 81 race miles pass through Anza-Borrego State Park on a single track trail known as the California Riding and Hiking Trail from near Borrego Springs to near Ranchita, creating a race route which is a mix of road and trail. There is a total elevation gain of over 9000 feet (2740m).
The four previous editions were received with wide acclaim. The fifth edition – with a limit of just 105 runners – will be held April 30 – May 1-, 2017
Entry is strictly limited to fifteen 2x teams and twenty-five 3x teams. NOTE: If we have 15 2x teams registered, and then any 3x team “loses” a runner prior to race day, that 3x team MUST replace that third runner to remain as a 3x team. (Only 15 2x teams may begin the race.)
The 10th annual KEYS100 will be held the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, 2017. The event is a series of point-to-point races, beginning in Key Largo—or Marathon for the 50 mile race and Big Pine Key for the 50 kilometer race–and ending in Key West on the Atlantic Ocean at Higgs Beach. KEYS100 also promotes charitable fundraising for “The Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys” in support of their educational work with prostate and other cancers, free screenings and direct support of cancer patients and their families throughout the Keys. Individual runners and teams are invited to earn a refund of their full race entry fee by raising funds for the “Foundation”. (Visit the “Registration” page for details.) The KEYS100 includes four distinct competitions: individual races of 100 miles, 50 miles and 50 kilometers, and our original Florida Keys six runner 100 mile team relay race. In the individual races, runners may compete with a support crew or without. Eleven (11) full aid stations serve all individual runners; these are located at approximately ten (10) mile intervals. Coolers with ice and water are positioned at approximately five (5) mile intervals. People competing without a crew may place drop bags with personal gear at aid stations along the route. THE FOLLOWING RUNNER LIMITS WILL APPLY FOR 2017: 250 IN THE INDIVIDUAL 100 MILE RACE; 250 IN THE 50 MILE RACE; 200 IN THE 50 KILOMETER RACE; 150 TOTAL TEAMS, INCLUDING MILITARY. Register now; don’t be left out next May! Register now; don’t be left out in 2017!
A opção pelo mês de Julho prende-se com as nossas inspirações. Para estarmos no patamar de uma das provas mais extremas do mundo, precisamos de um factor externo bastante importante: o calor. Na Badwater o calor atinge facilmente os 60º no Californiano Vale da Morte. Na BR135+ as temperaturas podem a qualquer momento ter uma percentagem de humidade no ar de 95%. Na PT281+ ficaremos entre as duas.
Durante o mês de Julho, nos locais de passagem da prova, os termómetros passam facilmente dos 40º, além de ser um calor seco, sufocante, ardente. Este é um factor que facilmente coloca a PT281+ num patamar de dificuldade extrema.
PERCURSO
O percurso é feito de forma contínua, com partida de Belmonte e passagens por Sabugal, Sortelha, Penamacor, Serra de Malcata, Monsanto, Idanha-a-Nova, Tejo internacional, Vila Velha de Ródão e com final em Proença-a-Nova.
É feito em regime de semi auto-suficiência, ou seja, apesar de ser um percurso contínuo, com um tempo limite de conclusão, os participantes encontrarão ao longo do percurso vários Postos de Controlo, onde poderão descansar e reabastecer as suas forças.
