Does ultra distance running and cycling attract less experienced and conditioned athletes?

With the ‘boom’ in popularity of ultra distance events over the last 10 years there has never been more accessibility or desire to enter these once ‘unrealistic’ races. From a physiological standpoint it would be fair to say that there is a very wide mix of experience and physical capabilities amoungst those who take part. And due to the ‘adventure' nature of these ultra distance events, there is often less pressure put on how fast you do it and more emphasis on just completing it at your own pace. But what we are noticing more than ever, is that people are coming into the sport with potentially very little athletic background. Individuals lack the level of conditioning that is needed, making them less tolerant to the demands of ultra distance training and competition and more susceptible to injury and compromised performance. We work with individuals on a daily basis with goals ranging from 5k through to 250 miles and beyond. Whatever you’re in pursuit of, make sure that your body is ready to take on the demands you’re asking of it.
