predictors for 24-hour ultra

Postby jamix » Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:55 pm

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21642857

quantity of km completed = 234.7 + 0.481 (longest training session before the 24-hour run, km) - 0.594 (personal best marathon time, minutes)

Apparantly the best conditions going into a 24-hour ultra is to include a 60km long run in training and have a marathon pr of 3 hours and 20 minutes (which gives about 145km completed in 24-hours)!
2013 GOALS:

- Compete in the "Early Bird Sprint Triathlon" in May
- Run a 5km pb during the "Bushtukah Canada Day Road Race"
- Complete an Olympic distance triathlon
- Cycle > 33 km / hr during the cycle portion of a Sprint Triathlon.
- Stay healthy and happy

Races

April 28th: Manotick 10km (40:16)
May 18th: Ottawa Early Bird Sprint Triathlon (DNF)
June 8th: Riverkeeper SuperSprint (2nd overall)
July 1st: Bushtukah Canada Day 5km (18:37)
