Dear all,
I am looking at attempting the BGR in a couple of years following a few years of the usual should I/shouldn't I!

I'm a fell runner who takes part in the regular fell racers around Yorkshire and also comfortable at marathon distance (the max I've run) and took part in some Lakeland fell racers recently (Rydal Round,Grisedale Horseshoe).

I appreciate the training and commitment necessary however do I really need to be an ultra marathon runner if I want to contemplate the BGR? Or as stated above with the correct training, commitment etc. can a standard fell runner make a realistic attempt?

My apologies, I'm sure this has been answered a thousand times before on this forum but it is something that has been niggling away at me as I contemplate the BGR.

Thanks in advance.

Luke
