Fell running race 28:34 [5] 7.35 km (3:53 / km) +190m 3:27 / km
shoes: Innov8 212 2017 #3
It was fast! Tried to hold back for a change slightly and ended up trailing Tom Addison, Mike Barron and John Rylance up the first climb. Got past John, Tom and Duncan on the flatter section catching on to the back of Mike but bringing Pez with me.
We pulled away from the group behind although were ~50m behind JackW, James Hall, Josh Jardine, Mike Ainsworth and a Horwich guy a bit further ahead. Josh came back to my group across the top and overtook him on the long descent. Wasn't too far from the back of Jack and spied him slowing a bit. But slowed down equally very shortly afterwards. Pez came past on the 3rd climb and felt like Mike was closing. Got back past Pez on the short descent and was trying to hang in close behind on the last climb. We all cut the corner, Pez and Mike more than I but managed to stay ahead of Mike just then tried to stride out and catch Pez but he was just too strong.
Good fun and good race, looking forward to racing in Green and Navy again this year. The team is looking very strong on paper!

Jog back up to the Mushroom afterwards with Jack and Duncan where Duncan peeled back off then Jack and I ran along the ridge to the church and dropped back to Prizet.
Awesome clear sunny day with good views to the lakes proper and south over the Lyth valley and Morecambe Bay.

Parkrun tourist with Toms bday weekend. Tom and I went off fast and were marking eachother on the first lap. Tom pulled away on the up but got back ahead on the down. He closed back up on the hill on the 2nd lap bit slowly eased away throughout the remaining laps. Finished 10s ahead. Good morning.

No real plan other than getting out, found a cycle path at Cartmel so just changed to autopilot and really enjoyed it.
Felt surprisingly good despite feeling sleepy and eating a tonne the last two days.

What was almost a perfect progression run bar 1km on the way back where I got slightly spooked by a gate opening for me in the wind after seeing some eyes reflecting back at me from the trees.
Good training and nice to get out under a rather full moon.

Fell running race 33:08 [5] 7.75 km (4:17 / km) +250m 3:41 / km
shoes: Innov8 212 2017 #3
Ran this a few years so thought I'd use it to see where I was in comparison.
Went out hard but was waiting for Harry Holmes to come past then a few more also sneaked past so ended up in about 10th at the end of the road. Kept working on to the climb and gradually overtook people including Will Robson so ended up in 6th by the tops. Ran hard off the top and caught the pair in front overtook one of the on the descent but then on the flatter road he came back past then cruised away in to the distance up a steady road climb. Looked behind and was clear so didn't quite attack it as much as I should have. Was still pushing quite hard though as only thought to check for trains at the level crossing after I'd crossed.
The finish was also a lot sooner than last time I ran so a "pb" by ~1min but the same pace as last time 4:18/km vs 4:17/km this time. Think I was quite fit then so hopefully a good sign especially with all the miles recently.

Decided it would be good to go up Roseberry Topping afterwards. Legs still felt alright actually so maybe I didn't push hard enough?
