good luck toby in Bristol, I am thinking of doing brighton next year and having a year off ultras and concentrating on marathons trying to get a sub 4hr

Trilla- why not this year ?? the run walk strategy for an ultra makes it so much more fun, I used 15 mins run, 3 mins walk last year and walk the uphill bits, but the walking element increased as i got more tired.

I am also on the facebook group, you just have to go for it, they are in my opinion so much more fun than marathons

ok, but look at www.fat-feet.co.uk they are doing a good 40, 70 or 100 on 2nd August, i have done the 70 the last two years, and having a go at the 100 this year, 10 mile laps really friendly .....

booktrunk - looks like you are getting tempted by the darkside of ultras, thyey are completly different to marathons, it is just about finishing the ultra and not totally time driven, walking is also good and a walk run is the normal for most people, you also get to eat whatever you want during the race, I went from 26.2 miles to 70 miles and managed to finish, my marathon time then was 4.30 I came top ten out of 35 starters so you do not have to be fast just stubborn
