Winner Stu 2010 review..
Kiwi Stuart Mills started as he meant to go on by leading from the gun.. go fast and keep going was the plan!
"The true secret of ultra running is ensuring that positivity remains throughout the race, and is not overcome by a negative state of feeling/being"
Winner Britta 2010 review..
The Lakeland 100 female winner for 2010 relives her experiences..
103 miles (if you can avoid getting lost at any time) and 23,000' foot of ascent and decent. A 40 hour time limit and 123 courageous competitors.
Journo Julia 2010 review..
How Running Bug editor, Julia Buckley, got around 50 miles of Cumbrian fells in her first ultra-marathon, the Montane Lakeland 50..
What did it take for me to get around the 50 miles of ferocious fells featuring colossal climbs (3100 metres in all) of the Montane Lakeland 50?
Petzl Lighting
The concept of the headlamp seems so obvious today. However, in 1972 when Petzl invented the first headlamp, the idea of attaching the lamp and the battery case to a headband was very innovative: by freeing the hands, any activity could be carried out thanks to a beam of light that remained oriented in the direction the wearer was looking. www.lyon.co.uk
