Runners are invited to participate in a research study into the physiological and psychological correlates of ultrarunning performance: Participation in this study will involve attending a 2hr testing session prior to your event, tracking your mood and sleep, and sharing your race results. The data collected (and provided to you) will include your Vo2max and lactate threshold, cognitive function, and psychological traits (e.g., mental toughness). If you are interested in this study, please complete a short screening survey: https://redcap.utas.edu.au/surveys/?s=N447TJLYMYFKEPLA
