Each time, even on recces, I find it's not so much the getting up, but it's the coming down without the cramps setting in that seems to be my problem.
I did try that last year in the race - I walked and ate for a couple of minutes. Still cramped.have a little stretch at the top then walk the first 100m or so. don't try and blast off, last year I went up Whernside at a good steady pace and did't get any cramp, first time though
I had noons & plenty of food, Ibuprofen Gel - Ultimately though I think I just don't run and climb enough
I've come to the conclusion that it's just a 'crampy' event. Flat trail from Pen y Ghent, then a brutal climb

I remember once being up on Whernside and seeing the runners come up the steep face - no, it certainly didn't look easier than the route I'd just walked up!
I've run/walked the 3 peaks, walker's route, with my dog, it took me about 7 1/2 hrs! hopefully I can get that down to under seven this spring. Not fast I know, but I'm no whippet.
A cracking pic, seen it before and didn't realise me old mate Big Compass was in it, love that blokeI love that picture
Hills and Guinness!

On the website.
Many many thanks
