So training has started in earnest for most of the team… When I say training do I mean researching the internet in a blind panic for what we have let ourselves in for? Or is this just general procrastination, anything but actually train? I can only speak for myself but I think so.

John and I have already started looking at backpacks. All the gear no idea springs to mind!

In all honesty I think we are all looking at hitting 5 miles pretty comfortably as a starting point. Not too difficult is the general consensus but this is in trainers, without weight on our backs and nice smooth pavements.

We will be upping the ante at the weekend with our first runs nearing 10 miles or 2 hours which ever comes first in woodland / on rough terrain. This will be our first sign of how difficult a hurdle we face.

We embrace the Commando spirit… Nothing Impossible!
