My problem I guess is the common one of having a busy life and having to fit training inbetween my other commitments.

I shall keep my training up at it's current volume until the week before and then taper off in the week running up to the Fellsman to let my muscles rest, stuffing my face with wholewheat pasta and chips lol

You might want to acclimatise your body to getting up very early in time for a 6am kit check, followed by a bus ride to the start (assuming you don't qualify for an Ingleton kit check). So that's many hours of faffing around before you even start. If I had to drive on the day I'd need to get up at 3am, or spend the Friday night in a tent somewhere (guess b+b's will be full by now) and get up at 5.30am. Non of this is very appealing!
