MICHAEL L. SACHS, PhD, TEMPLE UNIVERSITY, USA

lished in 2011 on the marathon and ultramarathon. There were 1,219

references found using the key words “marathon or ultramarathon” in a SPORTDISCUS database search of 2011 publications. Many articles dealt with cycling, swimming, or golfing. A number of articles in 2011 focused on the debate over a two-hour marathon, the lead up to London and the 2012 Olympics, and marathon cheating. Most of these articles were in Marathon & Beyond or other related magazines/journals, such as UltraRunning (www.ultrarunning.com)

\ffisies’ & Beyond readers may be interested in research articles pubor in more commonly known publications such as Runner’s World. Of these 1,219 articles, 46 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.
