Mm.mm it certainly is a tempting challenge, i am cycling Lands End to John O'Groats starting Sunday, i will have lovely strong legs!!!! A big head start on some hill training.
First running. Were organising for a local charity, the QEF so all proceeds to them.
We JOGLED. It was amazing. It's easier to get on the bike each day than you think. But if I could give you one bit of advice it would be 'take bodyglide or some other lubricant'. If you have any questions feel free to PM me :0)
Can't decide which one to run so looks like its all 3... Wouldn't want to miss the stepping stones, or flying down Burford slope, or the tarmac, or the easy peasy bit at the end And it is only once up the steps.....
You guys are giving us some great events - thanks for dreaming them up
You guys are nuts! No cut off time and yes, same route as the team one. We've got a new website up soon hopefully and will have gpx files for you to download so you'll be able to follow the route on your Garmin.
Had a meeting with the Queen Elizabeth foundation (the charity benefactors)this evening. They're very excited and I think it's important to reiterate that ALL proceeds of this event will go to them this year. So if you could spread the word us and them will be most grateful :0)
Well, can't say beer does it for me - I be more of a cider drinker but if I make it round 15 i really won't care as long as there's alcohol of some description on offer!!
Don't wanna be short changed FM, could be a nice paddle to start if the water's high enough. Will need the other 2 legs to dry off on
Just stumbled across this race while having a look round the trionium site and I have to say I'm tempted to have a go at all 3. Even with the extra couple of miles it's got to be easier than the Munro.
Might not be in the best shape as it's only a month after a 3 week trip to India but I'm sure I could struggle to the end somehow. Could always treat it as a training run for the Knacker cracker.
if i recall you have to do the "stairs of pain" twice in the munro, thankfully it's only once in the 3M.
how quickly is this likely to sell-out?? haven't done a lot of distance runs due to injuries, want to sign up if i get 'round the badger half in one piece next month.
Really tempted to do all 3. Did the Badger half so cant share the race after doing that can i? Would like to train for it properly tho .So may leave it untill early November before my entry just to make sure i can make it around without the help of a local ambulance. Is it likely to sell out before?
With the 3m event this weekend i wonder how many people are now signed up to do it solo. In a moment of madness i was one of 'those' that did. It's quite local so really excited about getting to explore more of my backyard.

Fuzzy Mike, weren't you an eagle once?
The three will be a great run and certainly not as hard as others that might happen around that part of the world

Oh crikey HC. You don't arf organise some tempting events!
BTW - am hoping to JOGLE next year - must get together for a 'strategy and training' coffee session!!
HC. x
Off to the New Forest 10 tomorrow - yippee!!
Hchap
indeed, i was an eagle, though i'd be less formal...
i'm still thinking of tackling it on my own, the route looks awesome. want to run each section, even the stairs (done a few times before, ouch!)
will individual runners run exactly the same course as the teams (after each hill return to HQ and head off again)?? And will there be a time limit??

Excellent - Banstead born 'n bred me so I know of their work. Really good that the smaller charities benefit from these events.
Do individual entries get a bottle of wine or do we wait for 2 more nutters to come in and share ?
bottle of beer - i'm sold!! gonna have to do it individually now.
LL - glad i ain't the only one mad enough to be considering going solo

Hi Roy
You should be ok to wait until then... Good luck with the training.
Best of luck and see you all there.
Hi Simon,
Many more than we originally thought. See you on Sunday.
