The details:
You get a map, and then you have 25h to complete 80km through the mountains. So squats and low walks are definitely going to be helpful.
Then during the training walks so far, the feet and ankle tendons started to say hello, so that seems to be a weak point, not sure how to strengthen them specifically though.
And it's interesting - it was never a problem during the training so far, but then again I've never trained for 7-8h straight

Two of us had to give up after 40 miles, due to heat strokes (all the tabata squats in the world couldn't prevent that sadly). The third of our group joined another group and made it.
Thank you again for all the good ideas!

Just curious, where did the event tale place?

Once I stopped the legs got really crampy though and I pretty much immediately went to sleep. It was on city streets, too, not through mountain trails.
Oh well at least you tried.
