Hi Everyone, Been fell running for a while and also a member for about 12 months but this is my first posting finally so hello everyone!!
:)
Q. was thinking of doing Ingleborough Fell Race next Saturday (July 18th), can anyone tell me if it's enter on day?
or do we need to pre-enter?
Entry on the day ive been led to believe. See you there
Oh great thanks!
Yep, all the races in the calender are EOD unless stated otherwise. See you there Jay.
You will know us two when you see us
Pudgy- A grey haired fellow with a bit of a belly but quite friendly and has a gay running style.
Tom- A gallant young runner who glides over the terrain until doh, there goes my ankle.
Pudgy I think I might know you!! Tom not so sure!Quote:

What do you know each other. Get a room
Hope to do this race, I will be the OLD GIT in a Skyrac Vest, I want to see this gay running style.
Well that narrows it down ;)Quote:

Yep, you'll undoubtedly witness the mincing, as I'll be shuffling up the yellow brick road in a Judy Garland stylee, somewhere near the back (watch it boys). I may even wave my spangly handbag on the descent. I normally do.
il be there only taking photos though
Careful! No pictures of juniors mind! See the Charlesworth - Pictures thread...Quote:

I think gay running styles seem to suit fell-running, certainly on the descents. It's all this using your arms for balance.
Whenever you see a picture of Ian Holmes flying down some descent, he's always flailing his arms all over the place.
No worries :D. Just of club membersQuote:

How much training do u do with Saddleworth.
erm last summer and last week i was. Training on a monday-usually something fast, Tuesday-Long slow run, Wednesday-rest or race,Thursday-rest or race, Friday-rest, Saturday-race, Sunday-long run. But i do a lot of swimming and track running
2000' in 3.5 miles. Road and track all the way, then stone/rock steps (dodgy if wet) to the summit. Return is initially via heather/fell to avoid steps and remaining runners, and then track/ road to finish. Even I've managed to descend 40% faster than the ascent, so if you can run at top speed downhill for 3.5 miles, enjoy. :) Not as tough as Kentmere.
Sounds like there's a fair bit of track. Assuming not much more rain before Saturday, any advice on if Walshes would be suitable, or am I best off getting the trail shoes out?
if its dry id say trail shoes if wet fell shoes the race is a rocky one quite a fast course
Nonsense you baistow :p. Mudclaws all the way. If its rocky like in wales i go for mudclaws. Unless you invest in Crosslites
No you cant criticise them. Can you take that comment back. The studs may not be big but the grip is awesomeQuote:

ill have talons on :DQuote:

Thanks Scott. I'll decide when I get there - made the mistake at Beamsley Beacon last month of wearing my Walshes when it was mostly road/trail. Will soon have no studs left on them. It's a Wharfedale Champ race - are you doing it?
