A very lumpy 7 miler

[Reggit]

Every December we have a local run, the ‘Pudding Run’, it used to be on the 27th but is usually a bit before Xmas.

why am I telling you now?…

Well it’s a road route round the local fell, I’ve thought it well above my fitness level, but decided this is the year…. I’ve been running a lot of hill repeats to build up leg strength.

Anyway, had a go at the route at weekend. Surprised myself, there was only one section I had to drop to a walk for. I’ve got several months before the ‘proper’ run, so hoping to have it down to a tee by then.

Sorry I’m not very photogenic, so there’s a horrible selfie of me at the top of the hill!

Wow! With that view I'd be grinning widely, what a place to run and well done you 😁

Wow-great run. It’s a real testament to your hard work to have done it. It’s so nice when you can feel the improvements in strength and fitness and have them pay off with a run like that.

Why is all that horrible scenery getting in the way of the handsome fella! 🤣

Awesome work on the lumpy running! It's funny, my physio was suggesting I do some gentle hill work just this morning. I'm thinking more in terms of maybe a golf-course divot though, rather than an actual fell! 🤣

Brilliant run and such a beautiful place too. I’m sure by the time the pudding run? Is upon you you’ll simply fly around .

Well done !😂😂👍👏
