The best way to ensure something fails is to stop investing in it. FRA announcements posted to FB and not to this forum, no logo on forum pages (just...

Weighted - 5 kg - chest to floor diamond press-ups, 20 sets to imminent/actual failure, 1st 10 sets on toes, 2nd 10 on knees, 2 minutes = set + rest....

Thank you Graham and it was largely due to many of your forum posts defending the FRA following the Brian Belfield inquest which prompted me to...

My clubmate Julie Emmerson is entered for the longer race (Fan y Big?) I wouldn't put it past her to be challenging for a slot on the "Women...

Not if it's too hot. I did Pen y Fan in 2018 in really hot conditions, and achieved the slowest M60 winner's time since 2007. Someone who saw my...

Gonna be spanking weather for it! Enjoy everyone.

I went down that steep grass descent a few weeks ago.... its a good descent. Reminds me of the descent off Yearlet on the Callow race in...

For the first time in my life, I have taken some hayfever medication. From my teens to my thirties, I got hayfever every Summer, but never...

10.43 miles, 3,716 feet, 3 hours 47 minutes: Travellers Rest - Winterseeds - Grisedale Tarn - Helvellyn - Grisedale Tarn - Seat Sandal - south ridge...

Uphill only race, i think if its completely dry then the benefits (might) outweigh the negatives. Its very runnable even where uneven underfoot. ...

Looks similar to the bank holiday Cilcain Classic route (although taking a slightly more westerly route up and down?) A really good community and...

This talk of 180-degree errors reminds me of something that happened two years ago. The day after the Scafell Pike race, I went for a walk,...

Does anyone have a GPX file of the Whitestone race route? I'm doing some work in the area and we need to have an idea where it goes so we can put...

Are you sure? There's a lot of grip needed in few places

EMOM press-ups routine. 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 15 minutes. 45 - 46 - 46 - 46 - 45 - 46 - 46 - 44 - 42 -...

Nice one LB. I've never done this race. One to aim for once (if) I'm recovered.

I think until you have experienced the fear that comes from making a - until then inconceivable - mistake and saving yourself you aren't a proper...

I have done a similar thing myself, ending up at Angle Tarn when I was aiming for Three Tarns. One of the problems with Bowfell, as illustrated on...

That was the area i learnt my first real lesson about mountain weather. Climbed up to Red Tarn and over the Crinkles in absolutely perfect...

Well done - a great time given your first attempt at the race. One that is hard to judge for pace as all the climbing (and there is a lot of it) is...

9.03 miles, 3,359 feet, 3 hours 43 minutes: ODG - The Band - Three Tarns - Crinkle Crags - Red Tarn - Long Scar - Pike o' Blisco - ODG. Sunshine and...

Wasn't it a bit hot for crumble and custard Luke? More of a lemon torte and ice cream day I would have thought!

60m on the bike yesterday, up to the craven arms for a crumble and custard and some refreshment, then took the long way home out past linton, embsay,...

When I used to do the odd Lakes race, I looked at the stats for this one and gave it a wide berth :D Well done mate.

Well done. If I am asked on my deathbed if I have any regrets (well, fell running regrets) I will say that I wish I had raced Sailbeck more often...

Nice one Stanley.... 11 miles this morning, and an easy 3 this evening. 79 miles for the week. Friday evening is the Snowdon Uphill.... aside...

Congratulations Llani!!

With my calf not right I decided to go out on the road bike yesterday. Over to Buxton and then down Long Hill to Whaley Bridge. On the way down there...
