Can't wait to see how you get on at the weekend A, wishing you the very best of luck that such dedicated training more than deserves. You will nail it!

And don't forget the sunscreen!

p.s. Looking at the 3 hour event for that Listowel event as part of my DCM training if I can figure it in (have Charleville HM the week before so long easy pace running the week after might suit) so might catch you enroute. It's a nice park and some fine folks organizing it.

Best of luck at the weekend A, I hope it all goes to plan for you.

An amazing training block - great mileage and dedication.

Good luck @ the weekend and don't leave it to long to update us here.

Best of luck A. You've had a great training block which I've enjoyed following on Strava. Hope it all goes well for you (including the weather!).

Wishing you Osomuch success at the weekend. Remember, whatever happens, your achievements in getting this far have been extraordinary, and Sat/Sun is your chance to express yourself. You've probably seen it before, but here's my favourite piece of pre-race inspiration.

Really looking forward to hearing how you get on - you've put immense work in, and I really hope you get to cash it all in on the day/night/day

Enjoy the weekend,

You have definitely put the time on feet and miles in.

Dubgal72 · 28-06-2017 04:28PM

Go get this, you have so earned it. Enjoy every minute (even the excruciating and confusing mental and physical moments!).

adrian522 · 28-06-2017 05:04PM

The very best of luck A, hope you get the result you deserve.

denis b · 28-06-2017 06:11PM

A.....the absolute very best this weekend in Belfast. You have rightly won a lot of respect for your dedication to what you do so well. I hope you get to remember that when you need to. Enjoy the experience and I hope you give it your absolute best.

Neady83 · 28-06-2017 07:46PM

You've the hard miles done, go out there and make them count A

Enjoy the buzz, embrace the pain and make yourself so proud you cry when you finish

24 hours running around a track, mother of god .... You Rock

Good luck

Best of luck A. I'm confident that you will surpass all our expectations here. You have put so much effort into your preparations that a fine performance on the day(s) can only be well deserved ☺

tailgunner · 29-06-2017 07:52AM

Fantastic training block, the very best of luck for the weekend.

RubyK · 29-06-2017 09:50AM

Wishing you the very best for Belfast A, I have no doubt you will run a blinder, with all that super work you have put in. Its incredible how dedicated you are, and you will reap the rewards

Can't wait for the epic report!!

jake1970 · 29-06-2017 09:52AM

The very best of luck for the weekend A, you have certainly put the miles in:).
I hope everything goes to plan and that you get the result that your training and dedication deserves.

Bungy Girl · 29-06-2017 04:52PM

Wow, it's that time already! I just know you're going to be Osoawesome and I can't wait to hear all about it.

chickey2 · 29-06-2017 06:30PM

The very best of luck to you! Hope the conditions are perfect and you do justice to all that training. Looking forward to the report.

Ososlo · 29-06-2017 06:38PM

The support on here is unreal:eek: I wish you could all come to Belfast with me:D The good wishes mean so much to me. Thanks, all! It's been lovely to be able to document the training here in detail in the lead up to this and has really added to the experience.

I had a bit of a browse over my training since January and some of the runs and big weeks I did, and it's given me a little boost as I was having a few negative thoughts, but I guess it's natural to feel this way so close to an event which I've put so much work into. However, I'm all revved up now and ready to take this on with a vengeance (a very slow vengeance of course;)) . Can't bloody wait:D

A HUGE BIG THANK YOU!!!!

Murph_D · 29-06-2017 07:57PM

Fantastic training for this. Wish I could have joined you for more than 2 laps of it.

Hope it goes as well and you get the return you deserve for all you've put in. Will be keeping an eye on the tracker. Good luck!

annapr · 29-06-2017 09:04PM

You're a star, A, your training has been unbelievable and you've grown so much in confidence too... ban those negative thoughts and know that we will all be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way for at least some of the time (can't commit to 24 hours sorry

)... very very best of luck to you.

Clearlier · 30-06-2017 01:35AM

Good luck!

Neady83 · 01-07-2017 06:08PM

Seven hours down and Ososlo has 39 miles done

Her pacing has been ridiculously consistent. Keep it up A

We're all shouting for you

But would we expect any different?

Have been watching the updates too, she is doing great

. Many more miles will be clocked up I bet.

With the training block she has behind her, she's only warming up

The weather seems to have cleared up - at least they're not melting, hydration shouldn't be too much of a problem in this weather.

After 9 hours, A has 50 miles (81km) under her belt. Her pace is slowing ever so slightly but not as much as the others around her

It's going to be an interesting night.

nop98 · 02-07-2017 07:26AM

The 18 hour provisional results were posted a short while ago.

A has clocked up over 91 miles (just short of 150km). Mind-boggling distances! There are live videos on the Belfast 24 FB page!
