Hi Sharnita – it’s a plan of mine to put up a comprehensive ‘training schedule’ for first time Northburn 100ers. In the mean-time I strongly reccommend full day hikes and some weekend hikes (up the steapest hills/mountains you can find) plus 2 10k runs and a 20k run mid-week.

Hi, does anyone have a link for any training programmes that may help with preparing for this event?

Yeh sorry Peter – haven’t got this years results up except for the splits spreadsheet. The results below are from 2011 (I should shift them). Will get onto it ASAP!

Just thought you should know that you have shown Caro Gates as top finisher in womens 50 km, but it was won by Emma Bilous at 7 hrs 15, 42 min ahead of Caro. Emma wasn’t even shown as finisher on the cover page. I’m sure she would appreciate her inclusion and recognition. Cheers,

Peter Bilous (the guy minding the kids!)

yes, please ! If you are still available.. My friend Gareth was going to pace me, but he is injured. It’ll be my 5th 160km event, but my first in New Zealand… Can we chat via email at xyzzy667 AT yahoo.com ? Thanks

Thanks much … that’s a pity. HK100 got in last year without further hassles. Anyway, thanks for trying, appreciate the follow-up, and let’s hope it’s not driven by overly protective measures across the pond to give the Americans undue advantage to qualify for WSER.

Hi Andre – finally heard back from WSER… they are REDUCING the number of qualifying events not taking on more at the moment! Apparently they will review at a later date but they’re going to just focus on the well established big events – might be a while before we’re worthy!

Comment on So what is ‘pacing’ anyway??? by northburn100

Pacers will be able to carry ‘extra gear’ that may be useful to the runner – particularly in an emergency. The runner (and the pacer) must carry their own ‘minimum gear’ as outlined at all times. No pulling or pushing will be allowed.
