Daz I've done it twice now and this year will be my third. I'm convinced you need a good strength and endurance base. To that end I run Ben Ledi most weeks giving me a 2500' climb in 2.5 mile which should give me the leg strenghth as its just a bit steeper than the Ben. A weekly long run in the 15 - 20 mile mark should give me the endurance. I'm looking to get my best time of 2:22 down to < 2hrs
