Those kinds of comments aren't helpful (I jest). I recognise I'm a Type 2 Fun type of person (and don't even mind a bit of Type 3 Fun) with an endurance (lack of) brain. I love Audax for example, but somehow I don't find it gruelling enough.
Luckily my current BMI of 28 precludes me from most insanity.

Small steps- I started running a year and a half ago, 2 mile run every lunchtime then built from there-with a marathon, 100 km ultra then 130 mile ultra (dnf) on the way. Audaxing helped with core fitness - 200km minimum every other weekend- I was qualifying for PBP.
Ramped up running miles in the last 4 months by taking long way in and back from work, circa 15 miles a day, then 20+ over weekend. The key to cracking Spine is not ultimate fitness but good navigation and a good reccy of the route beforehand, you need to be confident enough to navigate using a GPS in a total white out.
