Yeah I'm inclined to agree (I had to look up carpe diem by the wayOriginally Posted by elliptic
Sounds like a pretty good base for a 2012 round to me... do some recces in June and pack in as much climbing/descending as you can, then taper and peak for mid/late July.
Why put it off? Carpe diem and all that). I've just checked my garmin records and so far this year I've averaged 45 miles a week and almost 7,300 feet of climb. The climb admittedly won't have included lots of bonkers steep stuff like you get in the Lakes but, on the other hand, I do my best to run all hills rather than walk if I possibly can. I think my hill climbing is pretty darn good all in all although, funnily enough, I have a feeling that steep descents might give me some problems, as will all the frigging rocks and rubble and slate you get in the lakes.
