[DiggingDeep]

Hi everyone ...well i have registered my attempt for later on in the year...when i have a bit of time of work, i think it all started when i helped someone out year before last..and so finally decided to try it myself. So i have 4 months to get stronger at my walking and to get use to those hills again. i live in a fairly flat place...so training is mainly local or a mixture of just keeping fit generally .i am quite upbeat of what is ahead ..as it is a challenge like no other .hopefully should start going to lakes a bit more ..in the next few months. with a friend to do some dedicated training....as pacers..navs and stuff like that ..fingers crossed some friends / aqaintances may help me out come july. Anyway thats me for now.

Any Advice/ Feedback.... please send

Just put details of when you're heading to the lakes for some big days out and you'll be surprised who'll want to join you.

Get to the Lakes and get the legs conditioned for coming down, it is the coming down that destroys most people, gym, road running, cycling ect won't condition the legs like coming down Scarfell will. Once you can complete legs 3 and 4 CW as a support runner at BG pace you will be ready. Seeing you are going in July there will be chance to support others in the peak BG months of May/June, that will encourage them to assit you in return.

I would think with only 4 months to go you really have only a little over 3 months training given a 3 week taper. Not a lot of time for specific BG training, but as you have supported before I guess you will already have good base line fitness.
