I am reading Vassos Alexander's book, Running Up That Hill. Its a book about his ultra running experiences in races such as Spartathlon and the Dragon Back Race is Wales. It got me thinking about getting off the road and running the trails. I must admit, its something I never do. I tend to stick to roads when running but I have now been thinking of getting off the road and possibly looking into trying some fell running. How many people drop off the road from time to time and head into the hills for a run?

I don't mind light trail running - but my ankles and ability aren't up to running fells. Walking them is hard enough !

If you're near some fells, then give it a try.
