Not too much, about 1560m vert.

Very similar to Race to the Stones then (also 100kmās) - plenty of non stop walkers did that event

Yes, Iām sure it will all be fine. Will be a great experience 
Yeah, been to the physio a couple of times.
There are a couple of trigger points along the band which seem to be causing the problems.
What a frigger.

Hmm. Was supposed to be a second big week this week, but it is fast unravelling. For various reasons couldnāt get out yesterday and today is looking like a total loss as well.
Tmw will be tight, Sat is the eldestās bday party. Then itās her bday on Tues and weāre off camping on Wed. These are supposed to be my peak weeks. The perils of a September IM I guess.
Trying not to stress it. It will be what it will be.

I need to save the week myself, I managed a short swim this afternoon but some work that should have taken about 30-40 minutes is about 3 hours so far 
(think Iāll be having an early afternoon next week!)
Weekend is looking dubious as well weatherwise.
Edit: forced myself out for a 4K job, unpleasant but no pain

When MrsB smashed her spine to pieces she wasnāt allowed to run for over a year afterwards. She did a few 100k walks in rehab, London to Brighton, RTTS, Isle of Wight etc. She generally came in 20-22hours and really enjoyed them.

Thatās brilliant Bob and of course Mrs B. Itās definitely all do-able, just need to get used to time on my feet really. I donāt think Iāve ever walked with the sole purpose to cover kms before. Last weeks adventure of 2200m vert and 10km at altitude was quite a different challenge 
Can Mrs B remember what her longest training walk was? Most of the plans Iāve read go upto 50kms

She says the longest she did was 7-8 hours, so approximately 30-35k ish but she did them regularly. She was allowed to turbo so used that for training as well.
From my casual observation blister management is critical as that is what appeared to take most walkers out on the day. I used to meet her at the checkpoints to sort out her back brace and her feet while she refulled. Pitstops were formula 1esq. No messing about. In, refreshed and out and ignore any grumpiness at the later stops

Another few mixed days training for me which should have me in a good mood but for some reason Iām really grumpy.
New 20min power best of 326W during a Zwift TT race a couple of days ago. Could have definitely managed more. This morning, tried another race and another time getting dropped on the last climb. I was being distracted by a crying 3yo which didnāt help so I abandoned to help her. Was dead last by the time I rejoined 3 minutes later.

Your a wise man @Bob & in good company.
On the Barkley Marathon FB page the other day there was a quote from someone or other saying āMore people have been defeated by blisters than mountainsā.
