So for those of you who were advising me on the TP100 race, I think I''m more or less committed to the idea.
This is a rough outline of the training plan I hope to keep to, I don't know if it is too much or too little but still the most I'll have run when it comes to race day will be 48km so I'm feeling it might not be enough.

Now it's lodged in my mind I'm starting to think about targets. I know I shouldn't get too het up about times, and that finishing alone will be a struggle but times are also what motivate me. So, do any of you have any idea how Marathon/Ironman times might equate to this sort of thing? My mara pb is 3:13, but this year I only slowed down to 3:30 for the run at IMAT so I seem to prosper the longer the distance.
My opening gambit would be to aim for 16hours but when broken down to running 4x4:00 marathons back to back, suddenly it looks waay too fast. Maybe 17hours is more achievable or am I completely out of the ball park here and should I be thinking nearer 20-22-24hrs?
