At least it's Saturday not Sunday! Hopefully not too windy and can do the standard route? Good luck all.My return to running continues, managed a very flat 21km on road last night, first time I've done that distance since 1987.
What were your symptoms? Asking for friend...
Good luck to anyone doing the Glen Coe Skyline this weekend. Looks as though it may be a little windy. I think there are some UKBers doing it (wintermute?) and I know a few folk from Sheffield/the Peak who are too. Let us know how you get on!

Well I finally got out and did my first fell race today. I did Utterley Butterley in Marsden - http://www.utterleybutterley.co.uk/ - a race that advertises itself as a nice introduction to fell running. It was probably more traily than proper fell running but it's a lovely route and today was a cracking day to be out. I came 78th out of 88, which was better than I'd expected given that I've only been running for a couple of months. The most important thing though was that it was brilliant fun, everyone was incredibly friendly (people saying well done as I overtook them was a pleasant surprise) and it turns out that having someone to chase down gives you an extra burst of speed :-)Just having a look through the FRA site for the next one to do. Have any of you guys done the Withins Skyline race before? It looks like a popular one and you get a free curly wurly for finishing!
I'd love to be fit enough to try something like that, the idea of combining scrambling with running appeals massively.
Just noticed Peak-based Dave Sykes ran the Three Shires in 2:47:19 on Saturday, then warmed down with the Glen Coe Skyline on Sunday in 11:19:57 #monster
The mountain running experience must be from within the last 5 years, and include details of a mountain run or mountain race of similar severity to the Salomon Glen Coe Skyline™. Aspirant competitors must provide specific examples of named and dated races, and/or mountain running experience. I interpret that as a 50K+ race with similar amount of ascent.
