    Update on The Foot....

    She completed her first ever 90 mile week last week. She now has her international vest (sadly it doesn't fit me) and all is on track for the trip to Qatar later in the month. Immediate plan is to run the Athlone 3/4 this Sunday somewhere near 50k race pace.

    Foot update

    All still on track - She did the Tymon parkrun on Saturday and had a leisurely sub 20 stroll so the high mileage hasn't dulled the speed too much. We fly on Sunday/land on Monday so I will be trying all I can to get the exit door seats for a bit more leg room.

    Latest forecsat for race day is 93 degrees so I must ensure I find somewhere comfortable to watch from ;)

    Who's responsible for selecting such places for sporting events? The amount of events in Qatar and UAE is sickening. Money put before people's welfare.

    It's on tomorrow week. I can't believe he is doing both tbh!! I think it could be a trial of who survives best in extreme heat.

    With their kind of money, you'd think they could cool the place for the runners!! ;)

    Would agree with you in general but in this case the IAU had problems finding a host venue. In fact, I think they may have had to cancel one of their races (100k maybe) this year as they couldn't find a host. Won't be a race for fast times. I suppose it's a championship race so focus on finishing position instead of time!

    It was hosted in Galway 2011,by Richard donavan,don't reaaly recall he got too much support from anyone in the ultra running gcommunity,as far as I can recall he got dogs abuse,.headline on Ireland's premier running site had a link to a radio station giving out about traffic restrictions if I remember correctly and nuthin about the the 30 or so of the world's top 50k runners being in Ireland,,,think it was won in the low 2:40s. .ultrapercy was the first Irish man in that day
    .....so I doubt it will be here again

    I'd question the logic behind that decision. Seems crazy and nonsensical to me

    Me too. It's an international vest! Hardly ideal preparation!
