Research in the Marathon and Ultramarathon in 2010

lished in 2010 on the marathon and ultramarathon. There were 1,911 references found using the key words “marathon or ultramarathon” in a SPORTDISCUS database search of 2010 publications. Many articles dealt with canoeing, swimming, biking, bowling, or skydiving. A number of articles in 2010 focused on Josh Cox, Shalane Flanagan, and Andrew Lemoncello and heightened research in ultramarathoning. Most of these articles were in Marathon & Beyond

M arathon & Beyond readers may be interested in research articles pubor other related magazines/journals, such as UltraRunning (www.ultrarunning. com) or in more commonly known publications such as Runner’s World. Of these 1,911 articles, 22 were of a more “academic” nature, and these may be of interest to Marathon & Beyond readers.

Some of the articles listed below may be found online through a variety of databases; many are available in full-text versions. Please contact Michael Sachs at msachs@temple.edu if you have any questions about accessing the articles listed below.

This feature will continue to be a regular annual service of M&B to its readers.
