That's some serious elevation. I've been drinking with the race director of the Tortola Torture https://tortolatorture.com/ That's 1350m over 58km.
Ran 9k including some of the course with 435m elevation on Sunday followed by 6k with 100m yesterday. I don't usually run any hills so my quads are pretty tight now. Not sure how running 1100 in 18km is even possible.

If it was all uphill, it wouldn't be (as) bad. The eccentric downhill stuff just makes everythoing so much harder.

A club mate is doing teenager with altitude the same day. 25km, 2300m.
Truth be told you won’t run all of it, at least the vast majority don’t. I ran a trail race on Arran in 2019 with similar distance/ascent. My avg pace was 17min/mile and I came 27/110 men.

Just scored a place for
Newlands memorial on Saturday as well. Will do that instead of Gisborough on sunday.
18.5km, 1100m. First lakes race in a few years so hopefully it won’t be too savage!
