    Sorry just realised the race you are on about is 15 miles the Fellsman might be a bit steep at 62 miles. But it is good held on the first weekend in May

    Turn up at a few LDWA events though the winter months, nice and slow (walk, jog,run) relaxed, well fed days out to gain experience in distance stuff. Then pick some races with confidence in the spring.

    Listen to the Mole - he always makes sense
