Hi,
I'm a keen mountain runner, I've probably ran more Munros than I have walked now. There is certainly a different dynamic from running on easy trails or roads to running mountainous terrain. Like someone else said, the very best training is that performed on similar terrain. On terrain found in Glencoe, accept you will have to power walk a lot of the serious climbs but aim to run the easier gradients, flats and downhills.
To confirm, the 10K you mention is different from the even held in September. I'm not 100% sure on this but I think the 10K route is on fairly well tracked areas of Glencoe so as long as she can replicate this close to home, I'm sure she will be fine. I'll be doing either the half or full, undecided yet so good luck to all the fellow runners!
Drop me a PM if you want specific advice or to chat further.
