I love some of those comments

I will qualify my previous statement - fell running can be super fun but, yeah your right, fell racing is kind of hard to call fun in any way, shape or form until you cross the line at the end. Except maybe super fast, super runnable descents which do make me smile a bit...

I hate people who chat during races, often about kit choices and best running shoes, nearly always going up the first hill - bastards

Over the years I've been in some states after races that's for sure but my worst ever was probably at the end of 'my magnificent London Marathon debacle' in 2014 which I ran with absolutely zero road running training. To say that I had a tough last 6 miles is the biggest understatement ever known in the annals of race running and I was sick once having crossed the line, completely frozen with cramp trying to step up a curb, not able to move forwards or back, and then sick twice more in the middle of Horse Guards parade and couldn't do anything but lie there groaning... while my sister chatted to Hester and her sister about shopping or something . I had been on for a super duper sub 3hr 15 but had to settle for a complete train crash 3hr 30
