Ron Hill wrote 2 books that give a great account of his training and racing diaries called The Long Hard Road part 1 & part 2. In them he mentions when he competed in the 3 peaks race & other fell races in Lancashire . These books are quite hard to come by now and you can pay alot of money for them, i am glad i bought mine at a bargain price.:wink:Originally Posted by shaunaneto

I finally feel like I'm fit again, having had to run through a proper attack of man flu during October, which sort of turned into a never ending cold for November and the first week or so of December, not helped by a tweaked hamstring at the Clay Bank West fell race and some kind of problem with the bottom of my left bum cheek muscle/hamstring of my left leg (which I 'cleverly' self diagnosed as piriformis syndrome). Stretching seems to help it and, in any event, it aches most when I'm sat in the car and is now okay while I'm running. 2,260 miles for 2012 so far with 420,500 feet of climb

Stolly, have I heard the 2000 mile mark as being the amount needed to really REALLY get the running dialled?
Cracking effort Stolly, and a good base year for next years challenges:thumbup:
I had an intermittent sciatica type injury about ten years ago that we couldn't pin down. I eventually cottoned on that it flared up when I used the wife's car for work instead of mine (100 mile per day commute)
The lengths I have to go to! Its our Christmas lunch and bun fight at work to day so, at 5:25 am, I'm just tootling off for a quick run in the hills with Harry
