For those familiar with Fitness

Ok, i think il do it!

Train carrying the heaviest weights you can get or wearing all the clothes you own, that way when it comes to event day and your only wearing your running clothes you will feel stupidly light.

i dont know if that would actually work but sounds good on paper

You'll do it no problem, but start training now...join the running thread, there is loads of useful advice on there and talk to Sarah. She went from virtually nothing to a super marathon in a really short space of time so would be an excellent reference point for getting started. She is now running mental things like Grim etc.

You will need good running shoes, with gait analysis and running socks. Don't go cheap on your first pair, they make such an incredible difference to injuries and aches they are worth ever penny.

Seems Frank Elford gets very good write ups, if you can find a sweatshop they do a 30 day guarantee so if you don't get on with the shoes you can change them even if you have piled on 300 miles or more.

Sounds like a recipe for heatstroke to me....
