    Re: Runner or Racer?

    I'm a bit confused as to the wording of the second two options but i'm assuming they run in descending order of seriousness. Suppose i'm the middle option then applying that logic.

    Getting into fell running was a natural progression for me, i always gravitate to the most extreme end of any sport i do, and it's an easy discepline to start taking seriously when you only found yourself there for the hell of it in the first place. Already i've spent nearly 200 quid on kit and that'll keep rising i suspect and i've started to kick myself for losing places due to unforced circumstances too...stroll on!

    This is true - and you can actually see it when I have a running vest on

    It's just I am stuck out the back all by myself!

    Like all polls its flawed. You can vote for more than one if that helps.

    I am very much;

    a. making up the numbers

    b. like running in the hills

    In a small field, you could be all three. I mean a small race field. Not a small field.

    definitely a racer.
    wouldn't run up hills for pleasure.

    does not compute

    Running in the hills is just about as pleasurable as it can get. Racing in the hills on the other hand means coughing up lungs, suicidal descents, cramp attacks, exhaustion and pure masochism.

    So both are good then

    I've only ran six times in the fells ever.

    and three of those were in AL races.

    what that makes me I'm not sure?

    Intelligent with 6 doses of madness, 3 of which were extreme and probably hurt a large amount...
