I wasn’t born or raised in Newcastle, but I did a lot of growing up there. I moved when I was 17 to study at university, and the nine following years formed me as much as the previous 17 in Edinburgh had. Weekends were usually spent driving out into Northumberland to...

Standing in the queue for some post race replenishment, I’d asked Bill what his next race would be. “Tour of Pendle in November, last AL of the season”. Never heard of it. “How is it?” “Oh, it’s great!”, he informs me with his usual wide-eyed enthusiasm. An enthusiasm...

I’ve had a pretty good year so far. I planned to train for, and then run a proper Lakes AL. From January to June I put the hours and miles in, culminating with the Ennerdale fell race at the start of June. My little training chart — compiled by a mystical computer...

Dufton Show field, Cumbria 5 miles /1509ft A fellow runner described the race as a combination of a cross country and fell race. It was fast running, muddy sections, a cow joining the route, steep climb and scrambling up the back of Dufton Pike and a great grassy...

I feel a week or so is a reasonable time to let the dust settle and try to get my thoughts down about Ennerdale. The good: I trained properly, or I did the training I had planned to do: 30 miles and 7500 ft ascent a week for a good few weeks before the race. I...
