Thanks. Will just see how it goes....
Vrap I think for my body to get accustomed to the mechanics of off road running again would suggest I have actually run off road before

I thought off-road running would be your staple diet, Mr Terminator, based on your geographical location
Anyway. I think you can do the event, and probably do it quite well

Just seen this thread and felt the need to post based on my own experiences about broken toes.
TT end of the day you should have a good idea re your fitness and and whether your up to the job.
I broke one on my toes on a shopping trolly filled with compost, was wearing flip flops looked left the trolly stopped and my right foot carried on. You could hear the bone snap like a lolly pop stick..............d'oh. Went and saw my doctor the next day as I had London in 2 weeks. She explained that really there is nothing you can do about it and if you still want to run that's up to you. Pointing out the obvious ran a sub 4 hr marathon in stupid heat and missed out on the sub 3.30 I was looking at.
Snapped another toe playing football 3 weeks before this years Cardiff ultra and managed a sub 10 hr 50 miler .................
The lesson for me is to stop playing football me thinks .
Whatever you choose good luck

Cheers guys. Would still love to know how you would approach it Gobi, I do still want to run it I won't lie but am happy to listen to my body and will make a decision in 3 weeks like I said. Won't be doing any 'long' runs before then and will keep fitness ticking over by continuing to do plenty of bike miles too ...
