Thanks for the responss

@Andi McGill 2

There is a pretty big elevation differnece! Snowdon looks great but is booked up already!

Loch Ness sounds quite fun! Best of luck with the training.

I will have access to a gym, I currently focus on freeweights (bench, shoulder press e.t.c combined with quite a lot of core (including chins)

Sounds like running 4 times a week is the way to go?!

@Cougie

Is it? I read up re: the FIRST marathon training and it seemed to think 3 times a week with 2 times a week cross train was a good way to go.

I dont think Ill build much muscle training once a week! But I appreciate your point.

I was wondering (hoping?!) that cross trainer provided a good cross over for legs for running?

I do enjoy running...

Ok. Maybe ill need to look at a different plan then if 3 x a week isn't running. Im very much into running and competitive so maybe Ill choose 6 x week.

I'm considering doing the 30/40 mile ultra in lieu of Cardiff 50.

Does anyone know whether the terrain will be suitable for road running shoes/road runner? Or is it possible it might be muddy e.t.c?

Thanks

I don't understand why? Surely they are in no way specific to the event?

Ok thanks for letting me know Andrew.

I think Ive made a hash of the training. I've also done hill running and intervals and thinking about it those are in no way specific to the exercise as I will not be running such steep hills/running anywhere near the speed. You live and learn!
