ULTRA Study Needs Ultrarunners to Study
Most of us who like to train have been asked from time to time by our non-running friends or relatives, “Isn’t all that running hard on your body?”
We assure them that no, it’s great. We might even confess that if we weren’t able to run, we would likely find some less healthy way of shaking off the bad moods, anxiety, and general craziness.
The fact is, that while there is good science showing the benefits of high volumes of exercise in general, the data regarding the impacts of ultra-distance training is muddled.
You now have the opportunity to help inform the debate with your in-laws about the impact of all your running.
