I was a little under prepared training wise, but I'd done Coniston 14 earlier in the Spring, which gave me a good idea of what to expect. Choose a hilly long race, or even do what V'rap and eL Bee! did and do a few reccies

Foxy Davy Dec 2009 4:33pm, 28 Dec 2009 9,674 posts	Foxy Davy The course came as a big suprise to me & i foolishly tried to run it all & the wheels fell off at 19 miles & all i could do was walk. I feel i'm in better shape in general & could run it all but gonna stick to my hill walking race strategy & aim not to get lost this time !!!
