I've just signed up for The Wall so I will need all the help, guidance and advice you guys can share to help me get to a 69m run. I have done 1 ultra which was Hardmoors Princess (30/31m) but this is another level - I am more excited than I think I should be but I do have 18 months to prepare.

I know I need to work on fuelling. I’ve got vVLM Sunday and while I’ve not done long runs (last min decision to join a friend) I’ve not taken on water let alone food (only done up to 14m)
