Fell running

Posted by rich, 7 Aug 2006

View from LatriggHaving been away for the weekend, I wanted to register the fact that my first visit to the Lake District was a very relaxing affair. Sunday morning saw me complete my first ever fell run, which was ever-so-slightly knackering but allowed me to partake of an ice cream or two later on without feeling guilty.

For all those training for an upcoming run, don't forget that hill running is an excellent way to build up strength and aerobic endurance and is sure to help you achieve a decent time.

It is also bloody knackering. If you're going to do it anywhere, though, you might as well do it in the Lake District and be rewarded with a decent view.
