Difficult in the head or the legs?
Well done Luke on your efforts though.
Will you be attempting the nutty more often?

Hard on the legs mate, the gap between the runs does something to you, perhaps a scientist could explain.

Not a scientist. But reading up on this a bit. Apparently their are 2 main things that regulate (central governor) your speed. One of them is micro muscle damage that your brain registers as a need to slow down. This happens during a race, and can have an effect days later, DOMS. Trying to run through muscle damage will always feel hard, and you may not even feel the effects of the micro tears if it's not too severe/ hasn't come on yet.

Pendle 3 Peaks followed by Burnsall on Saturday. Anyone else double-dipping?

I did that double last year, Nic, and was gutted when I met someone at Burnsall who had done Gargrave and I realised I could have fitted that in too.

hmm, an estimated 12:45 start at gargrave would suggest rapid finish at pendle followed by teleportation.
a Gargrave/burnsall double definitely doable though

When I first ran Burnsall in 1987 I did the 10 mile road race and then the classic fell race: I assumed that's what real men did.

And thinking of real men: Ian Holmes won the 10 mile race last year (in 56.01) and was 6th (out of 156) in the fell race.

Cheers Andy, it's always good to see you out and about.

I remember doing Arnside Knott in 2012 and you asked me how many races I'd done so far that year.

At the time I was on about 90 and you encouraged me to go for the 100 in the year...finished the year on 101.

So here we are 5 years on and I'm currently into my 5th consecutive year of 100 plus races.

Current total over the last 5 years is 546....of which 512 have been fell races. Hopefully I'll squeeze a few more in before the year ends.

In summary: my racing obsession is partly your doing...beltin.

Always a pleasure to natter with you.
