It's runnable for the most part, yet hilly, so it can exhaust you by the final few miles along the river to the finish if you've pushed too hard and not fuelled yourself well enough earlier on. Obviously it's more technical than Snowdonia. As a guide, my best Snowdonia time is 4:00 and best Troller's time is 4:07.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454804247569172043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-49653960867774905652010-12-08T15:09:01.814+00:002010-12-08T15:09:01.814+00:00Hi Nick,

I've got two road marathons to my name (snowdonia and great langdale) and a couple of 7 mile fell races - what's the Trot like in terms of terrain and an indicative time - are we talking 6hours+ territory?<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />BarnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-33172436966568263302010-12-06T22:11:13.026+00:002010-12-06T22:11:13.026+00:00Looks like hard work!

It should have been nicely frozen again. It's turned bitter again over here after the brief thaw.<br /><br />UC, it was good cardiovascular training, especially when I tried to run for a few yards through it. That kind of messed it up for the follower who had been using my foot holes. Then he had to make his own ever other step.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454804247569172043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-53029710834035466512010-12-05T05:45:57.630+00:002010-12-05T05:45:57.630+00:00that looks more like resistence training!that looks more like resistence training!ultra colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11255286025113300247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630370531945018065.post-75991634096676595492010-12-05T01:59:35.718+00:002010-12-05T01:59:35.718+00:00I'm off to do my own group walk tomorrow, the ...I'm off to do my own group walk tomorrow, the Nidderdale Christmas Lunch Walk. I daresay my snow boots will be more appropriate than running shoes. Nick, you were asking for snow a few days ago, right? Happy now?Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210028509249432941noreply@blogger.com
