that could be fun but doing it in one day sounds painful.

Re: National 3 peaks challenge
Did it in the Army some time ago, punishing on the body but rewarding.
Daughter did it last year , I think she said
Snowden first in the dark
Scar fell later that day
Ben Nevis up and down by midnight same day
Practice Practice Practice
good luck mate

Re: National 3 peaks challenge
Not done the national but did the Yorkshire 3 peaks a couple of years ago hardest thing I've ever done biggest tip I can give u mate is as said above practice
I never did any and it was agony for 2 weeks after the challenge I've never felt pain like it but its worth it I'd do it again and the sense of achievement at the end is unreal
good luck with it mate if I can get my ankles in shape ill be up for doing it too

Re: National 3 peaks challenge
make sure your transport is the biggest you can get. nothing worse than being cramped up between your hikes. definitely have a driver, spoken to people who have done it without one and thats their biggest regret.
Make sure you have at least 1 pair of spare broken in boots and plenty of spare clothing.
book into a hotel near your last hike. you want a good night's sleep after it.
Enjoy it.
best of luck.

Training
we rented a cottage out the back of Snowden in Beddgelert for the weekend the missus walked the dog, me and daughter set off at midnight on friday up the summit and back, (theres a path from the train station) took about 5 hours I think, couple of hours rest replen as much as possible and repeat 3 times, on the day she romped it.

Re: National 3 peaks challenge
As mentioned make sure you've got a driver spare clothes and sleep between each peak tough but well worth it
