First 40 miler (non stop)

[Easytigers]

26 to 79 miles is a big step and you may sufferto finish it. Like Stu said, do a 50 first to see how you cope. Good luck anyway.

Thanks guys...will take your advice and get out next weekend for a 50. There's no time limit (as long as it is done in a day so hoping to get through it by eating lots and taking a sponge for extra padding!!!

Went out today and did a few miles. I really thought that I would feel rubish....glad to say that wasn't the case and I felt alright my quads were burning on even the slightest climb. I have learned a good lesson about taking the right food and drink with me

Great job! I bet your 40 was every bit as hard as my 50 http://app.strava.com/activities/26920245 just checked out your route and at no time are you on the flat, where as mine other than a couple of small climbs was pancake flat.

I can still see a couple of cheeky spikes in your 50
I am hoping to do a 52 miler this weekend coming but we'll see how that pans out
