The Dartmoor Discovery definitely feels like an Ultra. However road 30 milers feel like a long marathon.

A half ultra is like two eons. You can't have half an ultra (unless it's like the L50 fun run). Same as you can't have two everlasting lengths of time. Mind, the last three miles on Sunday felt just like that for me pig

I'm in the 30 miles being where ultras really start camp although obviously the definition is 26 miles 386 yards.

I'm not sure why dragon's back wouldn't be classed as an ultra?

Half a Barkley is a fun run, isn't it?

YORM half is a toughie. I once upgraded in the queue for numbers to the full because I had a hangover and thought a steady run round the marathon might be the easier option (plus the queue was shorter ;-))
