Hi,
I'm new to the xc scene and am struggling to find a good source for events. I've ridden gravel (Dirty Reiver), adventure races and MTB orienteering but am struggling to find xc sportive events. I've seen the mills and moors series but is there anything else? I live in Northumberland so Northern England and Borders region ideally.
Thanks,
Hi all,
I'm a realtively experienced runner and racer at trail marathons and long fell races but have signed up for a 100km race. This will be my longest race and I'm trying to do a proper training block rather than my usual go and run round some hills approach. I'm following the SWAP 50mile plan (roughly) with some tweeks for when I want to ride my mtb or just life/holidays throughs somethign more interesting or difficult up.
About 5weeks out from the race it suggests a 50km "race", would a 65km race be a bad choice? Would it be too much to recover from to finish the block off well? I've done the distance befoe but not for a few years.
What are peoples thoughts?
