Does anyone have any top tips for a first 50km run?
Walk uphill. Run downhill. Eat & drink plenty & look after your feet. Keep stopped time to a minimum.
it's just 5x10k runs right?
Sort of.

Sort of. You can split it up into 5 equal runs, but those runs will be:-
- 25km
- 12km
- 7km
- 4km
- 2km
- 25km

I've just signed up to my first ultra. Perhaps a little optimistic as I'm in the midst of my first running injury (runners knee) and the run is in 12 weeks time.
Does anyone have any top tips for a first 50km run? it's just 5x10k runs right? I'm also in the market for a training plan, if anyone knows of one.
Oh and the event is the North Downs Ridge 50km let me know if you've taken part before, or are attending in Feb.
