A colleague from London who is a runner is visiting the office today....I have been tasked with taking him on a fell run...it's a hard life !
He warns me that he is a road runner and the most climbing he does is the bridge over the canal ! We head over to Staveley and take the path along the river before climbing to Potter Tarn. He finds the climbing hard bit is loving every minute of being out on the fells. On to Gurnal Dubs and the some serious off-roading to Potter Fell. The weather is on our side despite the poor forecast - he loves the views. We head on and take in Brunt Knott, two summits....great stuff.
Descend back to Staveley, his road shoes struggle with the mud but he makes it back in one piece - he is a happy man - lunch at Wilfs.
Despite having been out I fell the urge to go training tonight - it is hard work, my legs are tired from the big run yesterday - I work hard, 16 reps....it doesn't get any easier.
