Did you know? William considers himself ideally built for ultrarunning being 5' 5"/1.63m tall and weighing approx 9st 2lbs or 128lbs/58kgs. He has an unique physiology being extraordinarily adapted for fat burning, requiring tiny amounts of energy (less than 100kcals/hr) and fluid to produce optimum performance in long ultras. |

William is a big fan of veteran/masters athletics and believes that athletic performances by masters athletes are hugely unsung. William believes people in their middle age also need role models and people to inspire them - William tries to do that. William is also keen to promote men's health and, as a cancer survivor himself, knows the importance of looking after yourself and keeping active into later life.

Did you know? The Six Day race reached a peak of popularity in the late 1800's - the pedestrian era - with regular major indoor races in London and New York. The Scottish Indoor Six Day record dates back to 1882 and was set in New York by George Noremac (or George D. Cameron to give him his correct name - Noremac is Cameron spelt backwards and was his professional name) - 912.90km/567.20mles! Did you know? The 24 Hour event (covering the greatest distance possible in 24 hours) is one of the oldest established athletic events being almost 200 years old. The first recognised 24 Hour race took place on the Newmarket to London Turnpike, England in 1806. Now the 24 Hours is the longest annual world title event endorsed by the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) and recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). |
