Hi Sal, Thanks for your message, its really exciting to hear so many positive comments in regards to the TR. I am thinking that I may do a shortish run Tue, Wed and Thur medium to long and Sat and Sun long runs so I can get use to running on tired legs. Each week looking to build up the miles with one or two cycle down weeks in between.I like your idea of doing multiple runs on the same day and will try and incorporate that into my training, probably at the weekend closer to the race. Once again thanks. Alex

Hi Mick,

Thanks for the reply, I was starting to think my question was that stupid I had been sent to the stupid corner.

I'm really excited about this race and if the reviews are anything to go by should be a brilliant experience.

Going to try and up my miles up a bit and maybe do a sat/Sun back to back. I can't rely on my natural running ability because I have none so need to get out to the woods and work on my 10K's.

Hi all,

Sorry for asking what is to the seasoned runners is probably very simple questions.

I have run a few road 10k's and the Mighty deer stalker twice and thought it was time to up the anti

I am entering a team of 5 into the adidas TR24. My problem is how to train for the event given that I will probably end up running on 4 or 5 occasions over 24hours ???

At the moment it looks as if we are going to take it in turns to do single laps, this means training to do 4 or 5 10k in 24hrs.

Should I use a similar schedule as a 50k ultra? I cannot see me running any more than 20k at one time.

Thanks for your help.

Alex
