Another race report, this one being my first and perhaps only report on a ‘virtual’ race. I’m not normally a big fan of these ‘virtual’ races but this was a bit different. There was a proper marked course, numbers, start/finish line, a medal etc – it was just like a proper race but with no marshals, no mass start (in fact a start of one – you had a set period in which to turn up, run, and send your…

Please see the event for details of the Virtual Fell Running Champs, and a course that Graham has devised to meet the 4 mile and 900 ft requirement of the race.

Kept strong coming down hill and managed a negative…
