Great Wall Marathon -19 April 2018

20 de fevereiro de 2018 edsonsp Deixar um comentário

The Great Wall Marathon is widely considered one of the world’s most challenging marathons.
Despite the arduous course on the iconic Great Wall of China, runners will be rewarded by its breathtaking surroundings and views. As the route leads participants through the lower valley and into the villages, onlookers will be cheering and the festive atmosphere is a real energy boost!
Find out more about the race below.
There are few ways to register for The Great Wall Marathon, depending on your place of residency.
If you are not a resident of China, you can purchase one of two holiday packages, which include race entry: the 6-day itinerary or the 7-day itinerary.
The same packages are available for spectators and provide entry to Race Day and Inspection Day, as well as other activities with the runners.
If you are a resident in China, you can purchase “race entry only” without the packages. You can also sign up through one of our partner travel agents.
Registration closes for the 2018 Great Wall Marathon on 19 April 2018. After this date, no new entries will be accepted.
We advise you, however, to book early to avoid disappointment. The 2017 event sold out well in advance of the regular registration period.
If you sign up after 19 March 2018, a late registration fee of 100 USD will be applied to each person on your booking. In addition, the full amount (ie. not just the deposit) must be paid immediately.
The Great Wall Marathon takes place on the third Saturday in May every year.
Upcoming runs will take place on the following future dates:
19 May 2018
18 May 2019
The Great Wall Marathon features three distances:
Full marathon – 42.195km/26.2mi

Half marathon – 21.1km/13.1mi

Fun Run – 8.5km/5.5mi – a non-competitive run also on the Great Wall

North: Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail

North: Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail

Scott Jurek is one of the world’s best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Renowned for his remarkable endurance and speed, accomplished on a vegan diet, he’s finished first in nearly all of ultrarunning’s elite events over the course of his career. But after two decades of racing, training, speaking, and touring, Jurek felt an urgent need to discover something new about himself. He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail. North is the story of the 2,189-mile journey that nearly shattered him.

When he set out in the spring of 2015, Jurek anticipated punishing terrain, forbidding weather, and inevitable injuries. He would have to run nearly 50 miles a day, every day, for almost seven weeks. He knew he would be pushing himself to the limit, that comfort and rest would be in short supply — but he couldn’t have imagined the physical and emotional toll the trip would exact, nor the rewards it would offer.

With his wife, Jenny, friends, and the kindness of strangers supporting him, Jurek ran, hiked, and stumbled his way north, one white mile at a time. A stunning narrative of perseverance and personal transformation, North is a portrait of a man stripped bare on the most demanding and transcendent effort of his life. It will inspire runners and non-runners alike to keep striving for their personal best.

Financial Fitness: The Journey from Wall Street to Badwater 135

William “Chip” Corley began his career as a stockbroker after graduating college, flat broke. Growing up in a middle class family in Clarksville, Tennessee, one thing was clear to him early on: he wanted to be successful and earn a lot of money. Upon becoming a stockbroker, Chip had no contacts, no money, and no experience. What he did have was a burning desire to succeed. While the investment industry offers tremendous financial opportunities for the ambitious and driven, it is also a roller coaster ride of uncertainty, full of highs and lows, and pressure to produce. Being a stockbroker and recommending investments to others is considered one of the most stressful ways to earn a living. The failure rate is 90%. To make it required long hours on the job, endless phone calls, research, and high-volume sales quotas. Chip rose to the challenge, which proved to be a great fit for his relentless work ethic. His early achievements and potential landed him a job on Wall Street in New York City. It was there he rose to the next level in his career. For 20 years, Chip continued to push. By 2004, the toil of it all caught up with him. Chip was diagnosed with hypertension and given a lifelong prescription for medication to control it. It was at that moment Chip understood that it was time to implement changes. He began to make health a top priority. In the decade to follow, Chip transformed himself from a middle-aged workaholic to a top-caliber endurance athlete. By learning to eat properly, incorporating yoga into his routine, exercising regularly, and utilizing mentors and coaches, his health flourished. Fitness became the passion that led him to the next chapter of his life. In 2005, he ran his first 5k with his 11-year old son, Chipper. From there he continued his athletic pursuits by running a 10k, half and full marathons; 70.3 and 140.6 Ironman triathlons; 50k, 50 mile, 100k, and 100 mile ultramarathons; and ultimately Badwater 135, considered the world’s toughest footrace. Financial Fitness chronicles Chip’s journey in the world of investing and business to his path fueled by fitness and health, and offers tons of tips en route to inspire others to find their own financial and physical well being.

The Science of Running: How to find your limit and train to maximize your performance

The Science of Running: How to find your limit and train to maximize your performance

If you are looking for how to finish your first 5k, this book isn’t for you. The Science of Running is written for those of us looking to maximize our performance, get as close to our limits as possible, and more than anything find out how good we can be, or how good our athletes can be. In The Science of Running, elite coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness integrates the latest research with the training processes of the world’s best runners, to deliver an in depth look at how to maximize your performance.

It is a unique book that conquers both the scientific and practical points of running in two different sections. The first is aimed at identifying what limits running performance from a scientific standpoint. You will take a tour through the inside of the body, learning what causes fatigue, how we produce energy to run, and how the brain functions to hold you back from super-human performance. In section two, we turn to the practical application of this information and focus on the process of training to achieve your goals. You will learn how to develop training plans and to look at training in a completely different way. The Science of Running does not hold back information and is sure to challenge you to become a better athlete, coach, or exercise scientist in covering such topics as:

· What is fatigue? The latest research on looking at fatigue from a brain centered view.
· Why VO2max is the most overrated and misunderstood concept in both the lab and on the track
· Why “zone” training leads to suboptimal performance.
· How to properly individualize training for your own unique physiology.
· How to look at the training process in a unique way in terms of stimulus and adaptation.
· Full sample training programs from 800m to the marathon.

Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide: Advice, Plans, and Programs for Half and Full Marathons

Though the running boom appears to have peaked and even tapered off somewhat, the marathon is still the ultimate running experience for many runners. Higdon’s book, although well written, offers very little in the way of new information on training for or running the marathon. Previously published works such as Joe Henderson’s Complete Marathoner (Anderson World, 1978), Andy Friedberg’s How To Run Your First Marathon (S. & S., 1987), and Ricard Benyo’s Making the Marathon Your Event (Random, 1992) offer very similar advice. However, Higdon’s anecdotal style provides entertaining reading and may inspire aspiring marathoners. The author provides details of many of his personal marathon experiences as well as those of other top American marathoners such as Bill Rodgers, Don Kardang, and Dick Buerkle. This book will appeal to general readers seriously considering training for their first marathon. For large sports collections.
