I wonder how jebby trains for this race. It all seems to work for him on the day. Does anyone know the secret ?

Good preperation for the race would be a good meal the night before of Haggis Neaps & Tatties followed by a few pints of heavy. Will certainly give the momentum on the way down!!!!!!!
Good training for the climb up the Ben would be at least 5 or 6 or 7 contiuous climbs upto Paddys Pole at Bleasdale Circle today!
I think he mascarades as a dog on here sometimes. Not sure which one thoughQuote:

The thread doesn't seem to need much maintenance from me - there seem to be plenty of other people who keep pulling it back onto the front page when it slips down.Quote:

What got me on the Ben was the amount of continuous steep descent from where you leave the plateau to where you rejoin the tourist path after Red Burn - say a total of just over 2000ft Where can I find a descent like that to train on around the Peak District?
and me down hereQuote:
