How much effort are you going to exert on each 10km? This sounds like a beast of an interval session.

No idea to be honest. Depending on the weather I'll probably be aiming at 50mins for each 10k. It's a hilly course with 'technical' bits, and then there's the added complication of running in the dark. So I might be overly optimistic with the plan.

Will find out in two weeks Cheesy

The course map, also showing the elevation:

Apparently the weather forecast for Saturday is rain from 6am till midday.  So the course will probably end up resembling the Somme.

Just over three hours till the start and the sun is out in force, no sign of rain.

Going to be a warm one. Sort of looking forward to it, in a slightly masochistic way. Got here yesterday set up camp with another team member, and the rest of the team are arriving now. 1,900 people taking part in total chatting to a couple of blokes last night who are doing the thing solo. I thought I was mad for doing it in a team of six.

Heres a quote from David Goggins that I like...

“Anytime you go from one extreme to the next, you develop aches and pains. I am pretty broken, but luckily I can take the pain, especially when I remember why I'm doing all of this.”

Have fun!!

Forgot what day it was when I first woke this morning.  Then looked out at the bright shining sun and immediately remembered it was Saturday as I thought of you.  Don't forget the sunscreen and try not to trip ffs!

Completed my first leg. Bloody hell it's hot! Managed it in 46:26, which I'm very happy with. The next leg will be about half seven, so will be a bit cooler. The one after that will be sometime in the early hours of the morning - so the temperature will be much better, it'll just be pitch black.

The team's doing well so far with everyone getting round in the time they expected. We also expect those times to deteriorate as we go out for a second and third time.

Thanks for all the good luck messages, much appreciated.

Keep it up mate, I still think you're a crazy s.o.b for even doing this though.
