And if you do race, don't actually um.. race if you know what I mean.

    Getting round the fellsman with a crocked ankle this year was all too scary and painful - trying to do a Bob Graham carrying a similar injury would be horrendous.
    i'd say with the miles your doing you will be ok but to say you'll do it comfortably is to encourage complacency. it is hard and there are lots of variables that could go the wrong way however fit you are.

    Get the time on your feet and don't get over excited or build it up too much.

    long challenges are great training for keeping you going through those weak moments.

    long 12 hour runs are the key with lots of mileage/climbing, speed isn't important. try and get some night events in as I find these are useful physcologically.

    But I do agree with Stolly that you have 'the right stuff'
