Hi, I started a thread for this event yesterday but didn't link it to the race.

This is my first time as a race director, I'm hoping it will be a great race.

Cheers! El Sombrero.

On October 29th 2011, there's a new trail race taking place in Rother Valley country park and the Trans Pennine Trail. 26.2KM (16.2 miles) of nice off-road running!

Cheers!

I did my first 30 miler last October and only did around 20 miles leading up to it. I took the 30 miles really easy, around 10.15 per mile on average I think. Normally do long runs at 9-10 minute pace, recent half marathon is 1:37.

I am now training for a 40 in August and a 50 in October, and am planning on doing some slow long ones at ultra pace - I want to do 30 miles before the 40 and then I reckon I'll be ready for a 50.

I personally would try to do 25 miles or so, nice and slow, maybe 3 or 4 weeks before the race. Hope you enjoy it!! Oh, might be worth doing some hill work midweek too!!
