ultra walkers in action Training, exercise and injuries

Surrey Walking Club member Sandra Brown has written some notes about her own experiences of training for ultras. (and having completed over 100 x 100 miles races, she should know!) 
As Sandra points out, training, especially for ultras, is very personal, so if you have any tips on how you train - get in touch.

Tim Erickson, Secretary of the Australian Centurions Club and experienced race walker, has kindly given his permission for his articles to be reproduced on our website
