Glad to hear it went well. Did my last long run this morning. Soaked within the first mile from all the wet, overgrown vegetation and stung all up my legs by nettles. Still tingling now.
I tried something a little different and went out with no food and didn't have breakfast. Just water. Could have done with more water tbh but pleased to have good energy levels throughout, walked a lot more than normally would in order to try to emulate Spine pace a little better so it ended up taking longer than planned which means a bit of a rushed afternoon but reassuring to test the endurance. 27 miles all in, finally completed a route I planned months ago but never got around to doing the whole loop so got to explore some new paths too.

Today was a mostly great final recce. I tested race day travel and learned I need to go 1 bus earlier to comfortably get the train. I made it though, so was away from Edale around 8.45am.
Proper windy but I made good progress, averaging 4mph through 10 miles. The bit after bleaklow to Torside is slow going, infact from other recces I know I won't run much at all from the Snake Rd to Wessenden Res but can make time up again after the White House if legs hold up ok.
I took a tumble today at around 6 miles but rolled out of it quite well (for me, everything is relative and I'm not a gymnast) and carried on without too much bother, just a bit sore under ribs.
Sore has become achey, then sneezed and that felt not fun. 2 weeks will hopefully see me right, should be running tomorrow morning if I can move after a night in bed.
Anyway, some pics
