I did a Fell Race last night. Only 4.25 miles but fook me was it hard!
Living where I do I thought I did a fair amount of hill running, but nothing like that! On two of the climbs I had to walk, as did EVERYBODY else around me. It was tough!
One of my miles took me over 10 minutes to do (my usual pace for a 4 mile race would be about 7 minutes per mile), and my average heart rate for that entire mile was over 170 bpm, which is pretty much 100% of my heart rate. I was absolutely bollsocked when I'd finished.
We had to run through 3 rivers too!!
Twas a bit chilly on the old sweetbreads I can tell you!
A couple of pics, although none of me sadly
