Iain a few years ago I'd have agreed with you but the standard of road running is so shit now in this country, has the standard on the fells dropped at the same rate if at all?

You look at half marathon results now they're won in good times by Africans but hardly any Brits seem to break 70 minutes or 31 mins for 10K! In the 80s (90s even) no one would have heard of you if you hadn't run faster than that!

I invite someone to start a thread whereby the stattos can decide whether fell standards have dropped. Meanwhile rather than spend time on the Forum I'm going to take a leaf out of Billy Burns' book and GO ON FACEBOOK
