The reason for this blog

There are a vast number of blogs by or for serious trail or mountain runners and I find them really interesting.  There is a much smaller number of blogs by those, like me, who are not all that serious about it but are intrigued by the challenge and sense of achievement of the longer distances.  I know from talking to friends that there are probably many more people that would like to do a long distance off road race than have actually done one.  I am not an expert, but this blog is about what I have done, how I have done it and what I have learned.  I hope you enjoy it.
