57.5 Degrees of Pain 19 Sep 7:06pm, 19 Sep 2024 21,414 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I might be there @Red Squirrel . Not sure yet if I have to go down to Glasgow.
Fenners-Reborn 19 Sep 7:12pm, 19 Sep 2024 1,427 posts	0 Fenners-Reborn Anyone done both the Fling and the Devil. What is the comparison for the same athlete doing both events. e.g. if you do the Fling in x hours you can expect a Devil time of x - y hours?

When I was in decent shape I did Fling 9.21, Devil 6.57 and Fling 9.25 over three consecutive years. All were in reasonably good conditions and all the races went without major issues.

K5 Gus 19 Sep 8:20pm, 19 Sep 2024 6,241 posts	0 K5 Gus Both times I'd entered the Fling (but got injured beforehand) I was in about 3:15 marathon shape and they say Fling is 3* your marathon time, so was hoping for about 9:45 - 10:00, and I've done 2 Devils recently in 7:13 and 7:27, so that works out roughly Devil is 75% of Fling, which ties up with 57.5's times above Be interesting to see what others have found

mrs shanksi 19 Sep 9:07pm, 19 Sep 2024 16,424 posts	0 mrs shanksi I've done the Fling 5 times: 12:45, 12:53, 13:03, 14:22, 14:23 Done the Devil twice: 9:21 and 10:52. Don't really know what to make of those times except that they're very slow!
Fenners-Reborn 20 Sep 6:00am, 20 Sep 2024 1,429 posts	0 Fenners-Reborn I was thinking 11 hours for the Devil, but I might be more adventurous and go for low 10 hours. But there are so many variables, and it is a long way of yet.
Fenners-Reborn 20 Sep 6:02am, 20 Sep 2024 1,430 posts	0 Fenners-Reborn And my Fling times have been: 12:45:42 12:43:03 12:41:19 11:55:22 11:34:08 But the last was 7 years ago and the first 13 years ago! I'm way slower and less athletic now.
