Haha. Yeah, right. The winner last year managed an average 'walking speed' of 5.8 miles per hour over the whole 61 miles, dozen or so peaks and 11,000 feet . Mere humans like me aim for an average speed of 3.8 mph. But yep there are walkers too, which all adds to the mix and makes for a superb (and superbly organised) event.

The point I'm making about Mike, who I know, like and have run with (and in flipping grim conditions too), is that he keeps making the same points over and over and over and over and over and over and over. And yes, his posts are far too long winded as well
