It's a con

First go at an Ultra, the 53 mile Milngavie to Tyndrum, Highland Fling on the 26th April, and after reading as much as possible my first go at a training programme for an Ultra so no doubt a cropper I shall come, but one who aims to finish. Had a couple of runs on parts of the route and so far so good. Race entries have reached 100 so I better send mine off before it gets full or the form might just disappear.
