Rombalds Stride

But the route changes make the course 2 + miles longer, I realise some of the Chevin climb is now taken out, but surely that does not eqate to being able to cover the extra distance in 5 mins.

Eh?

My Garmin was 21.89 and I know the route ie I didn't go more than 100 yards off course. (You can see my house on the section going up to Baildon Trig and on to Lanshaw Lad and I train over much of the course). I do not believe the old route was less than 20 miles. Received wisdom is it was around 22 but I would be interested if someone who has run it in the past with a Garmin could confirm.
