Blencathra in the Lakes looking gorgeous today! Out for a longish one (33km, 2000m elevation) to include a close inspection of the Halls Fell ridge descent, for a friend's Bob Graham Round attempt in a couple of months. #runchat #running #fellrunning
Had a great evening at the Wild Night Run by Wild Running on #Dartmoor . Beautiful course with the middle section (open moor, broken terrain, discreet marking) really playing to my strengths.
Great fun!

View of distant snow-covered fells from Orrest Head near Windermere.
Baked goods: Bakewell Tart, Pistachio Tart, Sticky Ginger Vicar Knicker.
The lure of distant snow-capped fells (view from Orrest Head) and a post-trail tasting menu!

A vanishing mountain range that sits between oceans as the first snow of winter falls.
Taken whilst on a mountain run in Lofoton, Norway a couple of years ago.
Some of the best running i've ever done.

View through a rain covered windscreen. Very poor visibility. A road and wall disappearing into the fog.
Sat in the van contemplating going for a run. Can't say I'm looking forward to it 😁

Spent the last decade with the aim of being the best trail running camera operator I can be, focusing on trail and mountain running in Wales. Feel like i've barely scratched the surface of my beautiful country and how I tell trail running stories #trailrunning #ultramarathon #wales #fellrunning
An incredible achievement. In that downtime we just had between Christmas and New Year, Inov8’s James Gibson did a Double Bob Graham in a new record time!

Strava running stats against a photo of a lakeside trail with the first sunrise of the new year poking through the trees.
Could have run on and on today but quit at five miles because meant to be easing back in to it. Runners everywhere and I was almost swept up in an actual fell running event! 🏃♂️ 🏃 🏃♀️ Happy New Year everyone 😃

Chart showing heart rate in red, elevation profile in brown, pace in blue.
Don't always believe your heart rate monitor! Even chest straps can give bad readings every now and then.
A quick look at beats per minute, pace and the elevation profile will tell you that something isn't right.

Fording the River Caldew, on a reccy of Bob Graham Round leg 1. A bit deep! But at least it washed away the mud. First full reccy weekend for our squad attempting next May. #runsky #running #fellrunning #ultra
This is my Dad's best friend's grandson. You may need a tissue whilst watching ! A lovely story about man, his best friend and the lakes and fells of the Lake District www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_bV... #George #TheLakeDistrict #FellRunning
Lakes run this Friday - this is Kidsty Pike looking at High Street. Generally great conditions, just a few small drifts. Felt warmer in this spot on on the Northern Traverse back in April! #runsky #running #fellrunning
That "my shoes aren't grippy enough but there's a camera so look happy" look. Descending Fell Head in the Howgills. #running #trailrunning #fellrunning
Lovely run through the Yorkshire Dales yesterday, just over 50km from Kirkby Stephen to Horton, after travelling on the Settle to Carlisle railway. Finished in the dark over Ingleborough (on purpose, stated late) for an adventurous end. #running #trailrunning #fellrunning #ultra
Ridiculous 11 miler over Kinder Scout this morning. Lovely dollop of wind/rain/ice to help the 3 hours just flyyyyy past.

Another one from last weekend and Lakes in a Day - very unusual to have such amazing weather in October, and a delight to coincide with race day. Last time this was sideways rain and wading through an expanded Windermere. #running #ultra #fellrunning #runchat
Sometimes you need to run through the clouds to get to the blue sky. Lovely 10 mile morning run today.

A white trig point catching the sun. Grassy foreground with moorland stretching into the distance. Blue sky with a little high cloud towards the horizon.
Lovely morning for a run

Blencathra summit, looking south towards the Helvellyn range, on the Lakes in a Day 50 mile mountain ultra yesterday #running #trailrunning #fellrunning #runsky
Ill Bell in the Lakes, one of the best little summits on a great ridge. 34km today from Ambleside. Feeling good after a big 7 days and back to back long fell days. Taper time now ahead of the epic that is Lakes in a Day. #running #fellrunning #trailrunning #runsky
