I've landed a ballot place in the Mont Blanc marathon on 1st July. The training is going to be a challenge and a fine balance between getting the miles (and climb in) and not getting injured. Anyone else heading out there for the this or another of the races that weekend?

Would love to head out early or on a holiday before, but doesn't look likely at the moment unfortunately. I have a week in the Lakes District in May, i hope to find some challenging and 'Mont Blanc' specific routes there if i can.
Any idea on the amount of ascent i should be getting in each week to help? I was thinking that my main build week should be 3,000m of vert, with 1750-2000m on the long run.
Its been a while! Presume you've had a frustrating 2020 but hopefully you've been able to run over your MdMB 2020 entry to 2021. In which case, 4 months to go!
Good news for me, I got a ballot place in this Augusts' OCC! So there's a moral in there somewhere about patience, and luck of the draw etc.
