The races took care of themselves - I got to where I looked forward to them because the pain didn't last as long.
George Young
Interview with George Young Bronze medalist in the 3000m steeplechase at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico city. Here is another article on him.
Aleksandr Sorokin of Lithuania won the Spartathlon in Greece in 22:04. That means that Yiannis Kouros is still the only person to run the 153 miles in under 22 hours and he did it 4 times(1983, 1984, 1986 & 1990) with a best of 20:25 in 1984. In 1983 he ran 20:29 and was so fast he was accused of cheating so came back and ran faster. Here is an article from the 1985 January/February UltraRunning Magazine that asks "How Good is Yiannis Kouros." By the way our very own Will Rivera, owner of Running Soles in Elizabethtown KY finished in 70th place in 31:19:49

With age comes a greater need to focus on how we run as often, if you are like me, areas of the body become weak or out of balance which affect form which can increase injuries. Here is a good place to go look at with regards to form from Dr. Mark Cucuzzella and the Natural Running Center - The Efficient Running Training Modules
You do not have to do a hundred miler in a race, how about a Do-it-Yourself 100
Good article from Mark Sisson - How often we loose sight of the goal when we focus on the path. Make sure to read the whole article before assuming where Mark goes with this.

Good info from Dr. Phil Maffetone on ones need for protein
Along the nutrition lines here is a podcast I was led to with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella: Nutrition for Runners
Also on nutrition - How about Rice and Potatoes for running ultras when you are a Low Carb person. Keep in mind that, at least for me, training and racing often take a different fueling strategy - of course the race strategy has been tried during a training run but they are usually different.
