Feldberg sprints

Blencathra – Hausberg (home/house mountain) in February via the easiest ascent – what clothing to take?
Living at the bottom of Blencathra, this has to become a regular route in training as the mountain is one of the popular ones to ascent in the Lakes alongside the likes of Helvellyn, Skiddaw and Sca’fell. From our house, the trip, out and back, is 11.6k with 770m of elevation. I can see most…
Could my training start to be paying off?

But, of course, they were on the original schedule and I could have done core/upper body. I am not letting this detract me though from the massive…
Windermere Marathon experience: I am a marathon runner!
On Sunday, I completed my first marathon 4 1/2 years after my last marathon and two weeks after the 4th birthday of my son. This time, my Windermere Marathon experience felt like a first marathon in many ways given the extensive break from running long and the changes I had gone through in the meantime….
