Personally, the Fellsman in 2008 was my last big training day before my BG. This culminated a 110 mile week and 26'K of climbing. My BG was 3 weeks later, but I felt as if I could have gone sooner. I'm no Billy Bland (or youngster) either, but I suppose it's all down to individuals and how quickly you recover from hard training both physically and mentally from a tough day out. But 3 weeks was plenty of time for me.

Got my application through the post and will hopefully be completing my 16th Fellsman in 2010. Eeek
