    Nice read Calvin. Interesting your little comment about flat speed, and I increasingly think that general running ability is important to improving on the fells.

    Thanks Travs, hope you are well mate, feels like an age since we were chatting at Up the Nab!

    Yeah, I agree. After doing some reading in to Kenny Stuarts training (not that I'm at his level!!), he used to limit his training on the actual fells to no more than a third of his total mileage in order to maintain leg speed. I've usually done more fells than road as it's more enjoyable for me personally but I'm testing this little after thought for a few months now.

    Yes mate, a long time... I thought I saw you hovering round at the end of Borrowdale race, but I was maybe hallucinating and in no state for a chat...!

    If I lived near the fells I'd love to use them for training, would be silly not to, but I think the general running helps. hopefully some structured training sessions at my new club, on top of my current gym work will see an improvement...

    Yes I was spectating/supporting at Borrowdale mate, I waited at the bottom of Dale Head on the grass up from Honister pass, great day.

    What's happened to Ben Mounsey's excellent blog? As the lad had a bit of time off over the winter? Well apart from being first back at the Hebden last weekend

    perhaps he's busy writing his book so that he can advertise it on here and use 'blog posts' as a vehicle for its promotion. heck, even I'm tempted to write a book on fell running.
