Has anyone else in the group done this?

I'm on day 31. I can't believe I'm actually going to complete it!

true
on very tired legs.

I've developed a sprained foot too from over use. Really helpful.

The gale blowing today is not helpful!

Presumably this is designed for established runners?

Going from zero to 20-odd mile runs within less than 5 weeks is a mammoth escalation!

Not really.
I did a park run the weekend before it started, it took me over 30 minutes and I was almost sick at the finish!
It was tough from about day 5, but you just grow with it.
It's a mental battle as much as anything
