The Lap Windermere, nearly an hour off my previous best. 11:40, 47 miles 7500ft #trailrunning

A few photos from recent fell runs, none from Spring in Lakeland unfortunately, but here’s a Central fells outing and some from Bowland #trailrunning #fellrunning

Beautiful weather in the Lake District, chilly higher up but clear. 20km recce for a race I dont really need to recce. #trailrunning #fellrunning

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

Imagine of a 3D Strava trail running route in the Lake District, highlighting four summits

View towards the summit of Steel fell, there is a blue sky but the summit is framed by cloud

View south from Steel fell summit, the is a cairn and old metal fence post in the foreground, in the distance hills are shrouded in haze and sunbeams are breaking through the clouds

Monday’s run with two new Wainwright bags, Steel Fell and Sergeant Man

As my friend recently put it “I am so glad AI is torching the planet for insights like this”

IKR?

Good luck!

Spaniels make the best running dogs!

I wasn’t quite so keen when I saw future race entries putting me in vet 50s, there’s a few of us at my club hitting that milestone this year

Thanks David, I do take safety seriously on the fells and was well equipped even though my vest was heavy as a result. Lots of people with kids walking up there and they certainly weren’t equipped for the conditions, tried to warn them what it was like up there as I descended.

Training on Whernside yesterday, it was a bit on the cool side #fellrunning #trailrunning

Yeah I guess that extra weight will do unelected things

😬

Oh, your recce? have you got a date in mind? The climb up Yew Bastard is a great start to the leg.

Yeah that sounds fun, hope you are ok, what do you think would cause that?

How do I tell it, that’s when I was going downhill?

Ok I guess I tick a couple of those

So glad to see this! Hope you get your fitness back quickly. I have managed a couple of short runs this week.

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical

Excellent, I’m hoping for a spot in Spring in Lakeland, I am on the waiting list. One of the shorter Beyond the Lune routes as a L50 warm up, see what happens after that.

Yeah, I got lucky with the ballot for this year so I have my two A races left, hoping to pick up some stuff along the way too. Focussing on May now.

Me too! like you it’s driving me crazy. I really don’t know what to do with all this time I suddenly have. Hope your injuries aren’t too serious and heal well and quickly

The first one (tomorrow) is because I twisted my ankle badly orienteering on New Year’s Day. The other I withdrew from for other reasons.

Sad to not be running the first two ultras I booked on to this year. #trailrunning

This weekends fun was the Beyond the Lune winter solstice 20km, definitely a wet one and I particularly liked the white water rapids section 😊
