    A long run this weekend

    I'm hankering after a trip up north this weekend. Anyone up for a long steady trot? Was originally thinking of doing the 3 peaks route but anything long hilly and challenging would do. I'd like to keep the benefit of the OMM in my legs.

    Am hoping to blag a guided tour of some sort...please?!

    Oh and if there's tussocks i'd be like a pig with a truffle

    In the Peaks there is 'The Roaches' Fell Race.

    15 miles and not much under 4000' of climbing.
    Cracking route.
    I did it as my first fell race last year and im sure you'd equally love it.


    Just an idea for you.

    I'm feeling a bit brain dead at the mo...and half asleep most of the time. A bit worrying really. Need a good long one in the fresh air to shake it off.

    II'll be out in the Dales at the weekend for a long steady run. Had thought about doing Kinder Killer, but will save that until early spring.

    Planning a grand tour of upper Wharfedale c 20ml / 4-5000ft bit quicker than BG pace

    This sounds promising...what's BG pace? Anything like Fellsman in 18hrs 10 pace?
