3 days to the Arc of Attrition

Running 44@60 - tips, ideas and advice for your first ultra marathon or marathon

Just 3 days to go to the Arc of Attrition 50 - I've been planning all the sections - estimating times for each one, making notes of landmarks to take with me, getting all the kit ready for registration check on Friday.
And with no running for four weeks I've been eating, sleeping, watching Arc of Attrition You Tube videos and listening to previous episodes of this podcast which featured the Arc 50.
My plan is to be on the start line and see how we go from there.
I want to have a grand day out and I'll be recording for this podcast as part of that.
Looking at my timing estimates ensuring I get to St Ives in time to change shoes etc and leave by 5.15pm could be very tight.
Good luck to all of you taking part.
Run with a smile on your face and enjoy your day!
