I did a 6 mile run over Moel Famau in North Wales this weekend and really loved it, except for the part where I was coming down from the top on sort of shallow scree over rock, and really lost control. I'd been trying to go fast and light with short strides, but ended up careering down nearly falling on my face and having to veer off into the heather to slow myself down enough to stop swearing and panicking. What went wrong? Bad technique, or just loosing my nerve?
Any tips would be really welcome, because the confidence knock really cost me time. Thanks all.
