Similar-distance races score a median of 34/100 (5 races compared).
Skyline Scotland 100 Mile is among the more pacing-complex races at this distance. The challenge is not just the total distance or ascent — it is the repeated need to change effort level. A fixed pace target is unlikely to work here. The dominant source of complexity is sustained effort burden, which means preparation should include training runs that deliberately mix different intensities in sequence.
