I have answered so many questions about running 100ks at the Glasshouse 100 last weekend that I decided to write them up into a blog post.
Some of them even have interesting answers.

Glasshouse 100: I'm an ultramarathon finisher
There's always a first time for everything. Last weekend I did my first real ultramarathon.
Technically, my 50ks at Kurrawa 2 Duranbah last December counts as my first ultramarathon, a term which describes any foot race of over 42 kilometres. But when you up the stakes to 100ks on trails, somehow 50ks of road running seems remarkably different. I felt like what I had ahead of me was more significant.
I didn't know what to expect but as the event approached I was hopeful that I had trained enough to be physically and mentally able to get through 16 or so hours on the trails.
