Training for the Ben Nevis Hil

[Stolly]

Well after 3 years of trying I have a place in the Ben NevisHill race, I have run the Ben as part of the 3 peaks challenge but as it was a team event and I wasn’t the weakest team member I wasn’t on the ragged edge. Any specific advice for the race, footwear,training etc? I have been told the decent is the killer loading up the quads.:thunbdown:

I've never done the race but have run up and down Ben Nevis a couple of times. All in all its a rubble fest and I'm not sure there is any training on earth that can help you particularly with that. Obviously running up and down the Ben would I guess be good training although sooner or later expect a sprained/battered/broken ankle or two
