Running race (Fell running) 1:27:18 [4] 15.4 km (5:40 / km) +494m 4:53 / km
Generally im pretty pleased with how i ran, first fell race since three peaks 2016! And a muddy boggy one to start with.
Uphill was good, didnt get passed by anyone on a climb and gained ground on pretty much any one. Not that much climbing though so not a real test, but tour of bradwell has quite a bit. Didnt seem to matter if it was steep or gradual climbs i ran well up them.
Flat sections were ok. It was boggy and very rocky so it takes abit of practice but as the race went on I got better, think more running on similar terrain will help. I felt my leg strength was ok in the boggy sections but could do with more strength on those, that climb up whernside will be hard. I've also got to nail that final descent off ingelborough which is rocky.
Downhill, im pretty pleased with myself as improved on how its been in training, still need to practice and more confidence and did lose ground to the men i was running with but not as much as i have in the past.
Flat to uphill/downhill to uphill/uphill to downhill transitions were good, i ran quite well off each hill, but felt i could be stronger on these. Also when it went from really muddy to solid terrain i was struggling for pace to start with as i got used to the terrain.
Road sections, pretty good, last 2k is on road and i ran 3.40ks.
