It's this one, looks a bit hilly but pie and a pint.

Well there you go, my first, and possibly last, ever race to be run under Fell Racing Association rules.

I met a clubmate at the start so I ran round with her and had a chat rather than go too mad, some parts were that bad it was quicker to walk, and there was that much mud you couldn't always make up time on the downhill sections.

The winner did just over 50 minutes, it took me half that time to queue in the pub afterwards for my pie and pint.

Great run! typical fell race by all accounts it's not if but when you take a shoe of bog water or fall waist deep into said bog!!

Thanks, now that I'm fed and watered I'm thinking about doing it next year as well. 😂

Try some of the bigger ones - tour of Pendle is only down the road, the lakes aren't far away either.

Ps start at the back as they are super fit!!!

I am so Jeolous I love fell running but since a cycling accident at the end of 2015 running has took a backseat, hope to get back to it someday, there is nothing like running through wild country enjoying the ups and the downs, I have run on some spectacular countryside,
I realy miss that feeling of I am out here under my own steam and its brilliant
I should try to get back to that moment

I'll stick to flat 10Ks for now. 🤣

Hoping to get my first post covid run in tomorrow morning. Plan is to go back to run/walk intervals and see how it goes.

It seems to be an appropriate place to post this... OMG - Gary McKee ran a marathon every day in 2022!!!!!!!!!!!

Same as riding 100miles a day tbh!!

Once you get into it, it must become a job.

The risk of self inflicted injury must increase proportionally too, much like the risk of a knock off cycling?

Let’s be clear here: this (^^^^^): getting up early - and completing before his shift at work each day !

Terms like epic, superhuman etc are overused and banded around Willy-nilly. This however isn’t one of those occasions.

I’m sure most of us can’t even begin to comprehend. Once; or even for a week. Let alone 365 times on the spin……

Thank heavens for small mercies. It could have been a leap year.

I'd rather 365 marathons than swim lejog or the Atlantic tbh!!

I was always impressed by the marathon running exploits of Eddie Izzard, who to be fair doesn't look like a marathon runner.

The longest streak I ever did was the Marcothon challenge which involved running every day in December for at least 3 miles. I did it a couple of years, but I found living up here, the weather conditions were the hardest part.

I got to run with him on one leg - just headed out after work and found him still running. Long days he put in.
