Advice required folks. I was planning to do the PW in April in 5 days but have decided (for reasons I won't bore you with) to enter the Montane summer race in June instead. I've been focussing on distance and recce runs between family things and it all feels fine but I don't think I'm gaining fitness as quickly as I did when I focussed on climbing pre both BGRs (summer and winter).

Despite the PW being much more of a distance proposition, I'm wondering if focussing upon distance is just tiring me out. I don't want to rock up to the start line jaded. I am contemplating shifting the focus back onto climbing. My theory is you build more strength and can probably get a better workout in less time.

the adage of 'time on your feet' worked for me before but if you extend that to regular fifty mile days, aren't you just going to end up wasted?

10,000 feet per week made me stronger than I've ever been - I'm tempted to convert back to it. Any thoughts welcome..
