Marathon Training

In our continuing efforts to support TF's racing agenda, it is suggested that the Saturday morning sessions start to incorporate the odd (say once a month at first) road based run.

Suggestions (not to include "let's stay on the fells") are invited. My own proposals are that on a couple of occasions we meet in Chipping. For one outing we would visit the trig points on Fairsnape (Paddy's Pole), Beacon Fell and Longridge Fell, before returning to Chipping, the run being about 50/50 road and fell.

If folk like the area we could then arrange to go for the second option, which is much more extreme, and would involve running round the Trough of Bowland, a distance of about 28 road miles with loadsa climbing. NLN and FSS will be able to vouch for the hillyness (?) of even the lower stretches of this route around Oakenclough.

As I say, additional suggestions are invited.
