Ok so I know there is a wealth of knowledge here, so I figured I would try and draw on it.
I've been asked if I am interested in a 75km run next year (Fundraising run). I am putting some thought into it, but I worry I may break down in the ramp up to it.
Ok my 'stats' are
34yr old male. Picked up a Couch 2 5km program in august last year. Finished it mid October. I've been intermittent with my training since, but when I do run I'm around 20-25km per week. I've never run 10km without a walk break, but I haven't pushed to do it yet either.
Am I mad for even considering a 75km ultra with a year to prep for it?

Are you already a member of the Long Distance Runners group? If not, you should join because this would be a great question there. There are probably people in this group that can answer this, but there are going to be even more in that group that will know.
