mrs shanksi Jun 2017 6:23pm, 18 Jun 2017 7,999 posts	0 mrs shanksi I've got my eye on doing Lakeland 50 next year but as it's in July the temperature does worry me. I tend to flag in the heat. So I'd be with flanker, colder the better.

TripleJ Jul 2017 12:07pm, 1 Jul 2017 First-time poster!!	0 TripleJ Hi everyone.... I am an experienced runner, getting addicted to ultras. I've done a few now, including a couple of 100km races, but nothing in the mountains or hilly.... basically, I am aiming for Lakeland 100 at some point in the next couple of years, and I can see in the entry requirements that I need to do the Lakeland 50 .. so that's fine, I can do that in 2018.... but then the entry says also some other races as well in the mountains between 60 to 100 miles... am I reading this correctly, and if so what races do people recommend? Cheers...
