Wow good luck VR -not only long but i'm guessing a bit spiky in places not to mention cold n dark... good luck! Spine Race next for you?
I did 8M intervals on the flat road 
Well done to all of you reaching 1500M this year!

None of those, Richard. A short half marathon on gently undulating tarmac every morning for 12 days to make up the distance in the required time. There's no requirement to replicate the verticality or the underfoot conditions or the ultramarathon hallucinations. In December, the weather could even kibosh that plan.
I'm being all the talk. I hardly ever do half marathon distance in training nowadays.

I find it's good to publicise those sorts of things to others so you give yourself some theoretical peer pressure to get them done. Not on the same scale for me, but the streaking at the moment I could have kept to myself, but I've rationalised that if I tell people I'm doing it, and include counts in my strava uploads etc, then I can imagine that there are hordes of Fetchies and strava users who will berate me if I don't achieve it; otherwise the wine, crackers and the warm fire might just overwhelm me!

Worse than that, larkim. If you break your streak a load of Fetchies will pile on with virtual hugs and say, "Never mind, well done for trying." Imagine the squirm factor (You're right, I'm sure there will be some gentle mercilessness on some of the threads.)

That sounds like a big challenge V'rap. Good luck. Not my cup of tea at all! (I'm just not tough enough to do that sort of stuff!)
But then I'm not into streaking either. Just a general woose me! G

VR - 12 half marathons in a row is nonetheless impressive... my legs would not accept that.

Not sure mine will, Richard. I'm assuming that it'll be straightforward to recover between runs since I won't miss meals or have my sleep disturbed and the rest of my life is quite sedentary, but I lose sight of the fact that when I last did something like that I was 11 years younger and for the period of the event I didn't have to do anything apart from run, eat, and rest.
