Larkim- that sounds fine to me. Base fitness should easily get you through it. You might want to try a run or two where you eat a few snacks/gels etc. to check you are fine with eating and running.

@NDWDave - thanks, yes that's something I had planned too. Early morning runs with breakfast "on the fly" seems a perfectly good way to test this out. Need to find out what is easy / what I like / what works well and find the best combo. Soreen and dried fruits look likely to be high up the agenda, and I'm already a big fan of hydration tablets like the SIS ones (i.e. I like the taste and they seem to help keep cramps at bay). Other than that I'm expecting to drink water and whilst I'd prefer to avoid gels / shot blocs etc I will need to try some out as they are definitely convenient!
