road shoes are best. there are a few sections where it can get a bit wet and muddy if it rains.

I would suggest not bothering to avoid puddles too much. you don't want to spend the first half wasting your energy dancing about and have nothing left for the second.

I wrote this a couple of years ago as some advice on running the race. Hoping to update it soon.

Because it is awesome. In the last 5 years I have run twice, crewed twice and last year a friend annoyingly had his wedding on that day otherwise I would have run it again.

Hope to make up for it this year

Getting excited about this one too. It's my favourite race in the UK.

I like this idea. I thought of something similar. Basically imagine there was some sort of chemical explosion and the fatal gas was travelling outwards from a point at 4mph. Basically you have to run away, anywhere you like but as soon as this leak hits you you are dead.

I have a new game. What would you put into room 101 from ultra running?
