You could do Windermere the day after a decent training run on the route. Make it a training on tired legs run. You'll be up that way anyway

KS, provided you can get your downhill running confidence sorted (I suspect you're technically more capable than most people, even if descending is the weakest point in your running) and can minimise the risk of becoming hypothermic in the night sections or when your temperature control goes to pieces towards the end of the race, you could do an extremely good time for the 100. I think you should go for it

We did a 22 mile / 3,600 feet walk yesterday. I wore the Drymax socks and my feet are much happier today than I expected An interesting thing is we managed 3 miles per hour, which equates to approx 35 hour pace. We jogged one short descent

My history with 100 milers is 1 finish out of 4 and I've finished 1 Lakeland 50 out of 2. So why is it that I'm seriously considering entering the Lakeland 100? Obviously it's stupidity.

Nah, I'm sure you've learnt from past mistakes? So not stupid, but wise! Give the 100 a bash

I think Vrap is right there. If I entered it, even if I trained right, I'd be accepting a good 60%+ chance of defeat. I think perhaps that's the allure in an odd way.

Who wants to enter a challenge that they know they can complete? Its not a challenge then is it?
