Blast from the past - route I used to run 20+years ago when I lived in Haverthwaite.
Par time then was 60mins when really fit.
Parked on old road by H'waite x-roads. Drop into Haverthwaite, along by river, climb to Bigland Tarn. Over top to observation tower on Bigland allotment and drop to Dick Newby's tarn. Loop back into Backbarrow and then cross river and climb to top of Havertyhwaite Heights.
Still cool temp & cold wind so layered up as for winter training. Felt ok until started climb of Hav Heights when started to overheat. And such a grind up last climb.
Positive - ran or shuffled all of the climbs.
Negative - no bounce going up the hills - left thigh/glute sore.
Be good to aim for under 70mins to "only" lose 30 seconds per year.
