Tips and advice for Endure 24…

It is less than two weeks until my first Endure 24. I’m running as part of a four person team: Team Scrambled Legs.

I recently asked for some advice and tips for the weekend, so I thought I’d share:

  • Be prepared for all weathers – it was very wet/muddy a couple of years ago
  • Pack plenty of running gear – change of kit for each lap
  • Mix with everyone – support the solos
  • Start slow
  • Ensure you have a good quality headtorch
  • Bring plenty of snacks – any other food is available from the various catering stalls
  • Porridge and pasta pots are a good idea – so bring a kettle
  • Bring plenty of socks
  • Try double laps during the night so you get a chance for a good kip
  • Flip flops for the shower – also a plastic bag to put clothes in
  • Take shower stuff to start to save a journey back to tent
  • Take warm clothes – it can get pretty chilly during the night
  • If having a shower, get changed into clean kit, then layer up – then all ready for next lap
  • Beware the hills – walk up if you need to

And the best piece of advice, given by virtually everyone I have spoken to:

  • Have fun and enjoy it!

Any other advice or tips that you’d like to share?
