Hi!
First of all, i'd like to say hi to everyone and appologise for this post as i'm sure these questions have been asked may times before.
I, like a few people it would appear (having read their similar posts) would love to fell run but are crippled by their unfortunate geographic location.
I live north of london (near luton) and therefore dont have the "ups and downs" available to make for good training.
My questions are:
1) What do people do for training? (is it as simple as lots of road running and excersing the quads in the gym, or running with weights etc?)
2) Whats the best way to get started?
(My running experiences are currently a few 1/2 marathons and marathons, I also love hiking (Wales and the Lakes), My navigational skills however will need working on)
3) Any general tips would be greatly received and appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
P.S I was in the Lakes over the weekend and saw a good number of fell runnings coming down RedPike at a fair old pace. Well done to all of you, as the weather was awefull.
P.P.S sorry for any typos, gramatical errors,
