While the blog and the site has been about the more sedate activity of walking up to now, there will definitely be a second strand from now on. Part of the reason, I suppose, that the site has been so quiet over the last year is that I've been struggling with this running malarkey.

I think, during the last 18 months, if there's an injury to be picked up, I've managed it. From shin splints, runners knee and a permanent crepitus in the knee (must be the same etymology as decrepit). Finally, i think, i'm getting to the point where I can manage a decent distance every week and hopefully I can build up the ascent. For if I've learnt two things, they're:

1 - Running is an activity undertaken between injuries.
2 - Fell Running is incredibly hard (especially so if you're runnning with more extra weight than the average runner weighs in total)
You could add a third - that it's difficult to find some images to represent 'running', so here's a token image.

Ideal terrain for a bit of a trail run near Nant Gwynant.

A few routes on Walk Eryri lend themselves to running:
Around Llyn Padarn - classic run.
Lon Gwyrfai, with a diversion over an old track (hopefully it won't get tarmacked)
Llynnoedd Crafnant and Geirionnydd - a challenging, but classic trail run!
