Hello,
I just thought I'd see what all your favourite types of race categories are?
Personally, I'd say A/BM for me. Anything from around 6-10 miles suits me down to the ground as you have to run hard still, but its usually long enough to give the opportunity to feel your way into the race a little. Short races are fun but they really hurt and i find them difficult to 'strategize' other than eyeballs out at the start and hope to hang on.
I've only done a small handful of AL races (Holme Moss, Borrowdale and Castle Carr). I had an awful time on Holme Moss and Borrowdale but after lots of distance training I am looking forward to throwing myself back into that kind of stuff in 2020 (hoping to have a bash at Jura and some more classics).
or perhaps its just personal challenges and chasing down FKT's and long distance records? I guess there is a lot variety within the sport.
