NDWDave Jul 2021 8:18am, 8 Jul 2021 15,133 posts	0 NDWDave I did wonder about that. I’m aiming for a finish in the mid 30s so wasn’t sure if I would be ploughing through the back of the 50s field or having the front runners on fresh legs coming past?

You definitely won't be ploughing through anyone! Two years the 50 runners I was using to drag me along near the end were running around 9.30, only 27 50 runners passed me and I finished 30th.

Rosehip Jul 2021 8:53am, 8 Jul 2021 21,684 posts	0 Rosehip time getting to Dalemain "wrong" and spend too long at one of the checkpoints and it could be both, Dave Flanker - I hope you don't find yourself with me - I won't get you to Coniston on time. I think it's going to be the full 24 hours get your money's worth for me

Rosehip Jul 2021 9:04am, 8 Jul 2021 21,685 posts	0 Rosehip I hope the cake is good I've just experimented with some bright coloured tape on my knee and booked one of the sessions for taping (massage also available) that was posted on facebook yesterday. I have brainwashed myself to believe that it works, please no-one put me right
Maccathecracker Jul 2021 9:05am, 8 Jul 2021 630 posts	0 Maccathecracker A mid 30s hr finish will probably see the leading 50 runners come past between Dalemain and Howtown. After a short while, the paces of the two groups naturally merge. It’s nice to get through Dalemain before they set off but from experience you’ll get so much encouragement it’s a real boost.
