How hard is it going to be and how long will it take me? Also training?
Have you completed any Ultras before?
Depending on Ultra experience you could be looking at 8-10 hours or more/less depending on a number of factors, general fitness,weather, age , hydration, nutrition and elevation experience. The Lap has just over 8,000ft elevation which is reasonable to say the least. Running up and down hills in your training will help you greatly in your overall fitness but there is nothing wrong is walking hills in an Ultra race.Also Training?
A lot of Ultra plans are 16 weeks , This one looks rather good - some are very complicated (to me anyway) and this one has rest days which are important.

Very impressive run/record with a total ascent of approximately 115,000ft -

Both are very good.
I would use Alphafly for longer runs ,ideal for Marathons but you could also run one in VF.
The only downside to AF is they have air pods which can pop and render them useless.
I have bought a few pairs of used VF from eBay ( with very little wear) and so much cheaper than retail, also Vinted is very good for barely used running shoes.

How far did you get into the film ?
There are 3 or 4 acts/parts which might make a difference? -
Anatomy of a fall - Very underwhelming & took too long to get there. Thought there would be much more to it.

Read somewhere that they filmed 3 at the same time as series 2.
LFGSS
London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
You've done an 50k which is good, so that's a great start and mileage of week 5-6 is a decent level of fitness.
Simon Guérard (find him on Strava) to see what he gets up to - 100 - 250 races.
His YouTube channel is great with a lot of tips which make sense and are useful.https://youtu.be/FbIZS-n4OT4?si=qdZ4IhJDm48TtxyB
