Managed to drag myself back out on the fells a bit recently.
Heartbeat Hobble in the North York Moors today. 6.8 miles and 640ft/11km and 200m, very flat for a fell race but was good fun. It seems I have absolutely no speed, but my aerobic capacity is a lot better. So I could happily trundle along, but I just couldn’t go faster despite feeling pretty comfortable.
Managed to get round Coniston Old Man and some other peaks in the Lakes last week. Much slower than when I’ve raced it, but getting round 9.5 miles and 3500ft/16km and 1100m in any shape with no training definitely felt like success.
GISBOROUGH MOORS Next Sunday - 20km and 850m. I’m quite keen if the weather isn’t minging, I’d usually be happy whatever the conditions but I reckon a race like that will be fairly near my limit at the moment, so I don’t fancy trying it in a storm!
