Test Day - equivalent to Snowdon

We couldn't have asked for warmer/sunnier weather, although I think we'd all have been glad of a breeze. Yesterday we met on the North Downs, having located some rather steep footpaths, and set out to test our fitness. Some 9 kilometres later, having climbed and descended about 1080m we said enough was enough. We'd done the equivalent of going up then down Snowdon, but It was a real wake up call as to how fit we're going to need to be, and how much more training we have to do. Slightly scary as it's only a little over a month until the event.

Less than 2 months to go.

I've had a forced break from training for a few weeks while I've been ill, but I'm back in good health now and with just under 2 months until the event I'm thinking I've really got to push things up a gear. I've heard varying reports from the other team members on their training. Gurinder's running 10km 3 times a week! Several are in and out of the gym all week running, cross training and so on, and Lindsay has been walking some extreme distances with his back pack full of bricks!
