Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I ordered a 2010 map and routebook from the website and they arrived today. Well worth £12 for anyone entering next year...it will be great to use the same map in training as we'll be using on the day.

Im thinking about entering for this, only got one marathon under my belt (3:19 abingdon 2008) and run 600 to 700 miles a year. I know that running this will be completely different to road running but to help me decide whether to go for it then i have a few questions
1) Is it possible to train up for this between now and July starting from my current base ?
2) Work / family commitments will limit me to 3 runs a week - is there a training programme to match this?
3) Are there some races / events that i should be looking to complete as part of training?
4) Can i go straight in for the 100 miles or is that really daft ? (I need to decide if i would rather drop out after 51 miles than finish the 50 mile race thinking i could have gone further)
5) Where can i get a list of essential equipment ?
Any advice on this much appreciated - cheers

My only advice, the 100 is only for hard core mentalists who are at home on the fells and rack up well over 2,000+ miles a year.

The 'fun' run (50 miler) is within most marathoner's capability.
