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?
