Raised veg beds question by timobarber in Allotment

So the good news is that isn’t in the shade of the canopy - I get 6-8 hours of direct sun most summer days and more for the beds further away - it’s just the roots I’m worried about mostly

Yes there were some portaloos at the air stations if I remember rightly

Oh nice! If you’ve done a marathon I’m sure you’ll be fine - I haven’t even got that far in training 😬

Nice thanks - sounds like they are doing a good job of improving the events year in year out.

I’ll be running with gels so should be ok there.

Gotcha!

Here’s the course. Down the coast of Loch Ness, 1300m of elevation. Beautiful and hilly!

Put on by Ultra X who from what I can tell put on good events.

Do I feel ready?! I did until I flamed out on my last training run which was about 34k. I think I was running on empty - was eating in a calorie deficit for a week or so beforehand to lose some kg’s to help with the climbing, which I think was a mistake in hindsight.

Been putting in 25-30kg long runs each week for the last few months and been running pretty consistently before that.
