So, I've been reading these forums for months now, trying to glean as much information as possible. I've been running about on the roads in Leeds for a few years, and on the moor in Ilkley and the Otley Chevin for the last year or so. I finally bit the bullet and last week I did my first fell race: Ilkley Moor.
I loved it. Tough short course. Nice atmosphere. Great fun. I'm here to stay. Looking forward to getting to know some of you as I run some more races.
Welcome mate, you'll never look back to the roads now!! See you around
Good Man. Try joining a club - some good fell ones around Leeds. Otley AC are all over the Chevin twice a week - the darker and muddier the better.
just read your blog about it: nice one, well done.
Addictive, isn't it?
Thanks Calvin for the welcome. Yes, hopefully see you at a couple of races during the year.
Matt, I am a member of a running club already but it's not a specialist fell running club. There's one of those just round the corner from my house and I do plan on getting out with them midweek once the evenings get a bit brighter.
Dave, thanks for reading it. Yes, running is addictive and running on the fells, even more so.
Brilliant post and blog! I need to get a proper Fell race under my belt. Just hard to find the right one...
Just get out and do one - There is no wrong Fell race, maybe not an AL (long and hard) for starters.Quote:
