The 70-minute “Forever Runner” is directed by Jang Da-jung and features the story of Chiu Shu-jung, who had to have her right leg and left foot amputated after Chiu’s feet became infected during the 2008, 1,150-km La Transe Gaule ultramarathon, in which she had to run from Roscoff, a small fishing village in northwestern France, to Gruissan-Plage in the south, in 18 days. Despite the blisters Chiu insisted on completing the race.

Amazingly some of the runners maintain blogs throughout the race and there is a widget with links to the runners blogs on the front page of multidays.com (and below) to the race narrator Utpal Marshall, whose blog Perfection-Journey features daily interviews and stories with the runners throughout the event providing insight into the lives of the ultrarunners and the race crew.

The race website also provides some background information on the runners, the race and the organisers who were inspired by the race founder, Sri Chinmoy, an athlete himself who saw the inner and outer significance of running and especially ultrarunning.

After three days, Vasu Duzhiy leads in his first time running this race. His 10 mile lead over second placed Pushkar Mullauer indicates a great start as the runners settle into the rhythm of the race and acclimatise to the New York conditions. 49 days to go.

Pushing the Limits – A Talk At Run and Become London 16-01-2012 Multidays.com - Multiday and Ultrarunning News

Ultrarunning World magazine is looking at the best ways to serve its audience and it would be useful if you could please take a moment to complete the short poll on the top right of the Multidays.com homepage as it would help us to take into account your preference on the future format of the magazine.

There are various options open including maintaining the formats currently in use, ie. free download and paid hardcopy. Generating a flow of income will enable the magazine to evolve in new ways – like a paid proofreader, which I am sure everyone would agree would be a step forward.

Any constructive comments are welcome.

Many thanks for your support.
