BG Training

[elliptic]

On an aside on this subject, on my round I deliberately carried my own sack with clothing and some food to dunmail in order to delay this feeling of being let off the leash. Has anyone else ever gone for this approach?

All the way to Honister on mine, though by that stage being "let off the leash" was a purely theoretical concept!

Agree with the broader idea of seeing the first two legs to Dunmail (on a C/W round) as a kind of preamble, get there in as good shape as possible then reset & recharge mentally for the real work ahead.

Re. back-to-back big days training I avoided them as I've got a long history of knee & calf trouble and needed to minimise the risk of re-aggravating them. But I can see the benefit if your body will stand up to it... basically just interval training on a grander scale with on/off times in hours not minutes

Saw empty tupperware box at Dunmail with 'BG 14.1.12 on it and a few studmarks on the summits, anyone know if anyone did a round on Sat?

Most likely Steve Ashworth who went round in 18:45 on Fri/Sat, see the "This weekend's attempt" thread.
