Dear Sirs,

I am preparing a dissertation as part of my level 3, off-track running coach diploma from the Fédération Française d’Athlétisme. I am carrying out a study of ultra distance runners under the supervision of Guillaume Millet (Sports Doctor and specialist in Myology at St. Etienne Hospital in France). Through this study I wish to analyze the sporting practices and training methods used by ultra distance runners. In particular, I want to gather information on the benefits, the limits and the disadvantages of practicing sports other than running during the preparation of a competition. If this study interests you, I would ask you to help me by putting a link to my questionnaire on your site. I would of course keep you informed of the results of this survey. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely Xavier Trémaudan
