  • 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!

  • Thanks for the advice both @Tenderloin
    Eating is a good point, obviously hydrate but hadn't even considered other fuelling.
    Yeah, not aiming for a time (not a race) and trying to not pressure myself too much to finish either but I definitely don't want to start it with the idea of bailing in my head.
    Plan would be, low pressure, pace it nice n easy & to try and enjoy it (including the scenery / terrain).

    Nah, you surely want to go max effort for the first 800m or so to feel that leaders buzz. It wouldn't be horrific from there onwards at all.

    Your plan sounds good, enjoy.
