no it can't be that, from Wasdale to Tenby, from Grisdale to Grassmere Pippa has won them all. Not forgetting Latrigg where the Commonwealth race is being held.Originally Posted by TurboTom

Not fell race though are they, mountain races slight difference. More suited to road runners.
Honestly look at the list and i can only find 3 out an out fell runners. Jebby, Bailey and Swinbo. Maybe Andi and Katie Ingram fit into that as well. the rest are top quality road runners

This is a matter for Pippa alone to discuss in private with the selectors, assuming she is unhappy at not being selected. End of.
yes i agree but discussion about the types of runner selected is ok isnt it. Good luck to them all it is certainly a top quality team
Yes, but what was the competition in these races? She may have been 2nd at Snowdon but wasnt she around 5 minutes behind the 1st lady? That's a massive gulf in class over 75 minutres. These races are more about aerobic ability than fellrunning ability or knowledge of Latrigg
2 "out and out" fell guys I think you'll find.
Sorry but Swinbo is a fellsman
Doesn't he race as much on the track as on the fells? Ergo, not an out and out fellrunner. You don't run a 14:15 (or whatever) 5km being an out and out fellsman
Im and out and out fellsman.
That you are sirIm and out and out fellsman.
