I would expect to be in the top half at Rivington but would be lucky to get in the top 80% at Pendle.

Dunno about being born to run. I was born to have babies I reckon. Now I spend my life wanting to run away from them. Maybe I'll stand a chance after all then. :D ;)

Re: Rivington Pike

Roller Skates would be great for the last road bit.

Has anyone read the book

"Rivington Pike History and Fell Race"

I got it as a present for my 30th, im 31 now and its still sat on my shelf. Must get round to reading it.

Re: Rivington Pike

I think he is giving good advice.
Out of the 3 miles 2.5 will be on tarmac, stone/hard core paths or hard surfaces.

But if you want to be a fell runner wear fell shoes and an old sweaty t-shirt. Don't forget you should be carrying a bum bag, but what will yours contain???

Don't worry, I am thinking the same. I am quite honestly terrible at running and now I realise you will all get to see just how terrible.

I must admit I will probably wear Swoops or a pair of those inov8 thingys but I will be expecting to have sore feet after the downhill.

Well I only own one pair of running shoes so I guess it will have to be them anyhow.

Re: Rivington Pike

Its tradition in fellraces over here though that first time lady fellracers must give all the lads a kiss on the cheek before the start whistle, honest :rolleyes:

This is a quote by Daz.

I cant wait to see what my cousin makes of this it will be her 1st race of any kind.
