Reviving this with an update and a couple of questions:
Training so far is going alright, have averaged 40 miles and 11,000 feet for four weeks:
W/c 20 May: 31.4 miles, 10,223 ft (4,476 walking, 3,973 running in Wasdale, 1,600 on a treadmill)
W/c 27 May: 54.9 miles, 19,276 ft (7,400 supporting Leg 4 and Honister-Wasdale via Moses Trod, 9k on a 2-day bivvy trip, plus a couple of runs)
W/c 3 June: 50.5 miles, 9,619 ft (3,500 ft treadmill, 3,750 at a Salomon trail running thing, 1,350 running a ten-mile orienteering race)
W/c 10 June: 23.5 miles, 5,505 ft (5k on treadmill, missed out on a Sunday long run by falling off my bike at low speed and getting a bad dead leg)
Assuming the physio doesn't tell me tomorrow that I have a terrible injury and shouldn't consider running, my first planned solo recce weekend is this weekend. My questions are:
1. Is it possible to get on a bus back to Keswick from Dunmail on a Saturday afternoon? Was considering a long day over legs 1 and 2 but that would be logistic-dependent? Won't be able to get to Keswick to start running until 8 or 9 on Saturday morning.
2. Does anyone fancy a run out over leg 1 on either day? Company would be nice, especially if you know the lines. Not averse to navigating by map, compass, and back-up watch, but it's harder to really dial it in like that, and I'll get my fix of solitude on the drive up and back!
