Sorry if there's already a thread for this, but I couldn't find one.

I'm a newbie this year, so I need advice:

1. Training? What?

2. Kit? What?
3. Stickers - who's coming?

Cheers.

Hi Linds, I'll be there! Going solo this year!

Training? Solo or in a team? When I did it as a team we practised running multiple times in one day.

Kit. Lots of it, all of it! All of your shoes! Headtorches. Lots of food. Comfy chairs. And a gazebo.

Cheers Stu. Be good to see you again.

In a team of 5.

Small tent or big tent? I'll probably be sharing with my 15 year old, who's support.

Chairs is a good shout.

I just had a tiny pop-up tent, didn't really spend any time in it, just stashed my kit in it.

I'm not 100% sure if I slept or not, if I did it was about 20 minutes! Spent all the non-running time sat under the gazebo chatting and eating!

We did Basingstoke parkrun last year. I won't be parkrunning this year.

Just over two weeks to go. Time to start looking at the long-range weather forecast...

Quite nervous, third time at Endure, first solo effort. So all the pain and none of the fun!
