Hursty Good luck!
Have you thought about golf? Thatā€™s a bit more relaxing exercise šŸ˜‰

    Good look sir. I take it youā€™re doing on a bike. My mate done it a few years ago for charity. I may see see you as I goes through chanctonbury ring.

        Know St. Bedes well, mainly because we used to smash you at cricket!

            Dubman Running, well attempting to run it allā€¦aiming for 18 hours as I have a hotel booked in Eastbourne with the Mrs and Iā€™d like to make use of it!

                Hursty Sweet Jesus, good for you. That distance is no joke. Iā€™m staring down the idea of a 50 km ultra in 15 months and that seems like a massive challenge, 160 km is an massive undertaking.

                Are you doing it supported?

                    303abuser Nice one! hope you enjoy it. Iā€™ve roped the Mrs in to crew for me, there are checkpoints also. The main thing for me is staying hydrated, its going to be 20 celcius so I will be sweating buckets, other than that keep fueling and moving.

                        Hursty Thatā€™s helpful, Iā€™m prepping my wife for the possibility of doing that lol. 20 will be warm for sure, Iā€™m always feeling like Iā€™m low on sodium. Getting the hydration and nutrition balance right seems like a black art to me. Iā€™ve been doing everything up to 22 km fasted so far, but that might be close to the edge of that strategy, so Iā€™ve been spending some time trying to figure it out.

                        You should GoPro a live stream so we can watch you suffer. šŸ˜…

                            Hursty Nice, what number are you? Can I ask what training plan you followed too? The 50 km race Iā€™m considering looks like a lot of climbing, so Iā€™m thinking of a 16 week marathon plan, just on hills instead of flat ground, but Iā€™m not sure if thatā€™s the best strategy.

                                303abuser I used an app called TrainAsOne which is an AI powered training schedule, iā€™ve found it to be great, you can also use it for free, however its only Ā£6 a month for the pro version.

                                Basically you enter your race goals and it generates a plan for you, if you miss a session or do something else on day it automatically recalculates which means its very flexible over a set plan.

                                The fitness tests are straightforward as well, 3.2km flat out, 6 min flat out and perceived effort runs.

                                354.

                                    Mad_Cyril Lol Iā€™ve discovered the longest I can run hungover is about 15 km, after that, shit goes south quick.

                                      Hursty Thanks, Iā€™ll check that out. Sounds similar to my half plan through my garmin watch, but it doesnā€™t have any longer distances. Good luck this weekend, I hope you have a good experience.

                                        Hursty
