Hi!
I'm been running for a few years and hill walking all over Britain since I could walk and I'd like to start fell running. The biggest obstacle for me at the moment is location being based in the south but I'm hoping this won't stop me!
I'm a competent runner, training about 45 miles a week at moment but mainly on the flat as I'm doing a marathon in April. I completed the south downs marathon last June (26.2 miles (oddly!) and approx 6000ft ascent) so I've got a bit of hill experience but nothing serious.
I'm in the lakes on the royal wedding weekend so I was thinking of entering Coniston. Does this seem realistic (I can see it's a serious race)?
Thanks for reading this far if you're still with me!
Tom
