Just found this on the Planet Ultra Marathon website:
100km and 24hr Commonwealth Championship - 2009
The inaugural Commonwealth championships for 100km and 24 hour will take place in Cumbria, England in September 2009. Upon successful completion, the events should become fixtures within the Commonwealth games structure and eventually the Olympics. Congratulations to the IAU and to Norman Wilson in particular for this major development.

Also good news (and not so good) for William Sichel. He has won the Hamm 6 day race in Germany with a new pb of 857.07km. [The second placed runner completed 580.18km].
Unfortunately he just missed his longed for Scottish record which is 878.7km by George Cameron - set in 1882 !!!!
Well done to William ...

Nerves
Beginning to feel a bit nervous already - the race is 15 days away still ...
All the best to William Sichel who's attempting a Scottish record in Germany - he's running the Hamm 6 day race and aiming for well over 850 miles.
Been off the caffeine all week and feeling OK, no problems at all although I have a slight worry that when I take caffeine during the race I'll end up with intestinal problems. My crew and I don't think so as I only plan to take 4 x 80mg which is the equivalent of about 4 cups of coffee over the entire 24 hours.
Training this week has been light after last week's crash training. Club handicap on Tuesday (6 miles in total) and 7 miles fartlek yesterday. Also done 45 mins cycling and one session of strength exercises.
