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?
