Totley Blackamoor next week but I'm a bit scared, it looks hard.
V3k yesterday, across the Welsh 3000s - a right monster that finally caught up with me on the last 3 mile descent to the end - such sore quads. Took me 5 mins this morning to get dressed in shorts and a t shirt. Oh and the stairs. The horror.
Have many here found the bike to be of significant benefit to their fell running...?
Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated. I'll be sure to report back on my findings over the coming months. Slightly gutted not to be running after recent gains but want to play the long game and get stronger via non/low impact.As an aside, perhaps in a month or two the UKB Fell Running Posse might like to meet for a trot/pint somewhere? Difficult coordinating diaries I know....

End of this month on 28 July; http://www.fellrunner.org.uk/races.php?id=4480It's a Thursday night race, entry on the day so no need to commit in advance, plus opportunity for those that back out at the last minute to get a session at minus 10 instead

I was going to recce the English Champs race route at some point anyway, so could combine the two.
I'd be more than happy to go to a race near Pendle as can go and visit the old folks in Settle too. Maybe post a few options and be happy to travel there too.
Good to see folk are keen. I'll next be doing the Arenig Fawr race on 31/07 but appreciate it's a way to come for most.Did anybody do Wasdale at the weekend? The race I wanted to do the most but don't have the ascent in my legs at the moment. One for next year.
Round hill looks fun, are complete novices allowed to enter?

The race I wanted to do the most but don't have the ascent in my legs at the moment. One for next year.I was thinking about Arenig Fawr, as want to do another AM if I'm going to enter Langdale. My family are all away that weekend, so might be a goer. What puts me off is it looks like a mission to get there (from Sheffield)! May well end up recceing Langdale instead.My mate did Wasdale and said he was nearly hypothermic by the end. It didn't sound like much fun tbh!

No previous experience of the other one.
