Laughing at G's suggestion of me running this! I have almost fully decided to commit to the highland fling next year as I think I'm ready to try a 50+ Mile off road race and I know the route well now.

I'm otherwise committed to supporting Stoosh in another attempt if he chooses to - I really believe he has potential to go faster now we have some more experience of the race and would love to see this!

One last crack at a fast marathon for me this Autumn and then who knows .... May cross to the dark side of ultras more!

Highland Fling is an awesome race. Although I've never got near my first race time I really want to be back in 2017.

I've run some it alone this year but found it very hard on my feet. Can't imagine going the whole way. Or maybe I just need some new trainers ;-)

You should be able to get it on i Player Ulric?

I've done the WHW race and I would recommend Hokas. Best thing to stop sore feet imo.
