Getting lost is definitely a good way of learning routes, as long as the getting lost isn't in horrific conditions. I managed to get out into Northumberland yesterday, testing out some new red inov8s. they are a step up on my old adidas trail shoes for the downhill but a lot more painful on the final stretch down the road.
It was a pretty hard 14 miles as i had shattered my parkrun pb by 1 second earlier in the day. My legs are in revolt today. I may even try a foam roller session this evening.
Generally yesterday reminded me how much more fun running in the hills, rescuing sheep, avoiding dead sheep, fording rivers where footbridges were destroyed by falling trees, is than running on road.
