Luckily, Scottish parkruns don't start until 9:30am, so I should be able to enter the LL50 and then head off for some speedwork. The entry requirements for the LL100 are weird - lakeland100.com They are listed as: "To gain a place in the 100 mile event, you must have achieved ONE of the following criteria: 1. You must have completed the Montane Lakeland 50 in less than 16 hours in the last 2 years (2017 or 2018). 2. You have completed a different event of 50 miles over similar mountain terrain (similar altitude and terrain underfoot) in less than 16 hours in 2017 or later. 3. You have completed the Lakeland 100 in 2017 or 2018" But that third one should surely mention doing some other long distance event above 50 miles? West Highland Way Race in 28/30 hours would equate surely? (discuss that one!) Maybe the idea of checking other races was deemed too tricky to compare and that the LL50 was the natural step before entering the LL100. I can see some logic there, but reckon they would look other races which are clearly showing something better than a 16 hour LL50. For the record, I first did the LL100 without having done the LL50 but had lots of the 2nd type of race in there (and still had tough old day out... and a couple of nights too for that matter). Good luck to anyone entering either event!
