I've been looking for a challenge and thanks to rhb posting a bit of warning I snapped up a place for EfM next year! Really excited, furthest run so far is 50km but I've got a year to prepare for what is at the moment way above my head! Any advice would be much appreciated from the insanely impressive ultra runners on here.
My primary concern at the moment is the navigation, my sense of direction is poor to say the least and think I am going to have to rely on technology a lot. By the looks of it I am going to have to start saving for a high end Garmin to upload a pre planned course to or am i missing something? I can't seem to fathom whether something like the 735xt is going to be sufficient or do I need to be looking at the 935 or Fenix? Would Apple watch be any use given I could get a heavily subsidised one through health insurance, presumably battery life would be the main hurdle here?Thanks very much in advance.
Cracked the early entry riddle for EfM last night, so I defo have my spot for next Nov. General sale at midday but it'll be a scramble for fewer places.
Same applies for the 48hr Escape from GB for end May, not sure I'm ready for that tho so not entered.
