I have a lot of catching up to do but that won't be done now maybe after the 160.  My training has been going really, gym work has really paid off and made me much stronger and more able to deal with the work load and stresses of the training and the event itself.  I've managed to get out and do some good hill runs recently including the Yorkshire Three Peaks which was amazing, I love it, wish I did it more.  Then also just been trying to cover as much of the Tabular Hills section as possible before the event.  I have a few minor niggles that aren't worrying me at the moment but I want them to clear up asap.

Now I'm preparing the schedule and planning what food I intend to have on route.  My main concern is sleep, am I going to allow myself any or just plough on????? I will have to write 3 scenarios I think allowing for different options and how I feel, part of me just wants to crack on with no sleep and just get it done but I have two night sections to get through eek!

The planning of he race is crucial as this might be what decides whether you finish it or fail!
