Indeed! I ran the Kentmere Horseshoe a couple weeks back, and though the course was probably harder, the weather on the Rydal Round definitely made it pretty gruelling.
And Phil, I'm the exact opposite - I'm crap at going up, but made at least 10 places descending. Even so, my legs were so crap on the up I was still in the back half.
Oh no!
I know I definitely gained a good few places on the descent and then a good few more by keeping right at Low Pike and doing the 2m drop at the crag - definitely a bit technical tho!
