Had a bit of dilemma today. Really fancied the Fairfield race but I know that I need more time on feet to fulfill my race ambitions later in the year. So I opted for the Langdale Horseshoe route. I realise that it isn't up there with Wasdale but its a step up from my usual training runs.
Had a great afternoon on the fells. Felt more that the 4000ft on the race route. Although I don't think its intended for people to faff around on the scree on Esk Pike quite as much I did. Other than that had a good run. Saw two friendly fell runners coming down from Esk hause as I was climbing up who had run from Coniston to Wasdale and then to Langdale in training for the Lakeland 100. They should have had the decency to at least look knackered.
