That pretty much sums it up (and fumbling for the dibber at each checkpoint as it has spun round your neck twice and disappeared somewhere down your back that is just out of reach)Originally Posted by Stolly
Practice running 3.5 miles up a hill, sprinting another 1.5 miles off of it, running over muddy undulating hillocks for 8 miles, along a road for another 1.5 miles, then up an effing great steep, and ever steepening, hill for 2 miles, (be sure to practice getting cramp at this point), then a fast descent over broken boulders for 1 mile, then another 1 mile of track and road running, then 2 miles running on limestone crags and slabs, then a steep 0.5 mile climb to the top of a third hill before the best part of a 6 mile run in to the finish on rocks and mud
Saturday coming we are meeting at layby on left just above Hill Inn at 8:45am and then taking a car or two to Horton to start running from there and doing Penyghent and whernside to the Hill Inn which is basically covering the two sections that are covered by the time out.
the following saturday we will be leaving a car at Horton and running from Ribblehead to Horton doing whernside and Ingleborough and then the following Saturday (29th Jan) will be doing all 3 starting from Horton.
so far
definite 2 for the 15th
3 for the 22nd
3 for the 29th
anyone welcome will be steady 5-6 hour pace
