I have Tales From Out There: The Barkley Marathons, The World's Toughest Trail Race which is a good read although perhaps a little factual. It has maps of the evolution of the course over the years which I liked as I'm interested in seeing how a race evolved geographically. I don't think Frozen Ed has completed more than two loops, although he's definitely got his boots on the ground.
Lee Wren Mar 2021 4:59pm, 15 Mar 2021 504 posts	0 Lee Wren Hi everyone, I'm entered in the Heineken race to the castle 100km in the summer, a big jump up from the 60km's events I've done, so I'm looking for advice on a pair of very well cushioned pair of trail shoes. I need the extra cushioning as I have sciatica issues and cushioning/comfort helps. Price doesn't matter if they help get me across the finish like, but if I can do it for £70 instead of £170 that would help lol. I think terrain is relatively easy going grassy trail.
