"The race starts at Gorak Shep (5184m), just below Everest base camp, and finishes in the Sherpa 'capital' of Namche Bazaar (3446m). The course is a measured 26.2 miles/42 km and, although it is basically downhill, the trail undulates and there are two steep uphill sections."
The altitude will be the main challenge as walking uphill at this altitude is difficult enough let alone running. Here is the route:
So what is the training regime? A long hilly run once a week building up time on my feet. I will do a lot more fell running rather than roads this year. Apart from that I want to keep up the speed work and shorter races. I will probably aim for a long fell race at the end of the Summer.
