ABSTRACT:
Investigates the psychological characteristics associated with ultramarathoners. Examines how the mood state of runners differs before and after an ultramarathon, and whether or not there is any difference between the mood state of finishers and nonfinishers. Male runners (n=56) respond to the Profile of Mood States (POMS) twelve hours prior to the race and within one hour after completion or withdrawal. Results show a classic 'iceberg' configuration. Finds that running the ultramarathon has a significant effect on all mood factors, except anger. Significantly less tension and vigour are reported after the race. Feelings of depression and confusion increase from prerace to postrace. No significant differences are observed between race finishers and nonfinishers, except that finishers report a greater level of fatigue.
