  • Ok stupid question incoming; newish trail runner here, doing a few 5kms, and the odd 10km. Feeling mostly ok on the 10km runs, but starting to feel relieved to finish towards the end.

    • Could I manage a gentle North LDN 23km trail run on the weekend? Or am I being too ambitious?
      I think I know the answer.
  • Many many variables here, most would say you need to build by 10% a week or risk injury etc! But we're not talking massive distances here, so long as you don't mind being a bit sore the next day, take it easy on the pace, walk if you need a rest and are ok with making sure you eat and drink a bit on the run you'll be fine given is still LDN you are hardly going to be remote and stranded if you do need to bin it off! YMMV!

  • Yep I think you can manage it as long as the most important thing is to finish and have fun. If you're wanting to set a time then you might not have the juice in your legs but your cycling base should get you there. Just take plenty of snacks/water and pack appropriate clothing
