Abstract
Abstract : Psychological and training characteristics of 44 ultramarathoners competing in a 50-mile trail race were studied. These psychological and training variables were used to distinguish differences between survivors and casualties in the race and to predict race time. In addition, mood changes and runners' physical symptoms were examined to assess changes from pre to post-race. Results show a mood profile and self-motivation scores similar to other athletic populations. Mood profile changed from pre to post race and training pace was found to be a highly significant factor in predicting finish time.
