Hi everyone, I posted on the general forum about doing a 47 mile run around my area in under 12 hours. I am hoing to do this run before easter. I have had some experience of running/jogging but nothing major. I am raising money for a local school and really need help and advise on how I can achieve this and if I can how could I promote it. Any help and advise would be amazing. Thank you!

There are plenty of people here who can advise you on a training plan, but first it would be useful to know exactly what running experience you have .
In terms of promoting it, you need to put together a "just giving" site and spam the link to everybody you know.
Well, I have done running around my area but nothing massive. And when would I set up the Just Giving page?
That doesn't really give us a clue to your running experience. How many miles a week?
If you have no experience maybe you should consider something shorter given your time scale. Why not do a spring marathon and build up to your bigger attempt.
Would I be able to do te training if I did it in the summer of 2013?
Maybe it'd be easier if one of us just ran it for you?
How would you go about advicing this person then?!
cragchick. I agree with you - it bugged me as well! As for time scales, after my four-month enforced rest due to injury in 2011, it took me about 8.5 months to get from 20 mins three times a week to my first 50K and it was nearly six months after that when I ran my first 50M (with training for and recovery from a marathon in between). I wouldn't have wanted to increase my mileage towards the 50 K much faster than I did.
