Welcome!


Hi everyone! Welcome to A Day To Run! I’ve been thinking for a while that I’d like to get back into writing and combine that with my love for running. 
At the moment, I’ll be posting on here all about my running exploits, my tips and tricks, why I got into running and what the future is looking like. I’ll also be reviewing some of my favourite pieces of gear and races that I take part in. 

I love the running scene and I’d love to do my bit to cover what’s going on here in the UK, who knows we might even get the odd interview if we’re lucky! I’ll be posting routes that I tackle and giving my thoughts on whether it makes the running hall of fame. And yes, it’s also to stop the constant barrage of updates to my personal facebook page!
Here we have an outlet for all my running natter and I hope you enjoy the ride!
Cheers,
Charlie

Derwent Water Dawdle

Derwent Water Dawdle: 27 th  Apr Location: Braithwaite, Cumbria Length: 23 Miles Elevation: 4300 ft Terrain: Trail, Single track, rocky paths, open fell and road Ever since I saw the route for the Derwent Water Dawdle I have been looking forward to it. The Keswick area is one of my favourite areas in the Lakes, so I naturally couldn’t wait to race there. Training had been good in the build-up to the race but in the week preceding the race there had been some unseasonal hot weather. I really struggled in the heat so I was relieved when the forecast for race day was around 10C and showery. Showers were on and off all the way up until the start. We had our race briefing where encouragingly race director Jeff told us to prepare for the worst and expect conditions to deteriorate throughout the race, happy days. Conditions were near perfect, if a bit chilly, as we set off from Braithwaite heading towards Cat Bells which would be our first climb. The first two miles...

Montane Grizedale Trail 26 - Review

Montane Grizedale Trail 26: Feb 3 rd Location: Grizedale Forest, Cumbria Length: Marathon – 26miles Elevation: ~3000ft Paths: Fire Roads, Single track, field paths, forest paths My marathon debut took place in Grizedale forest at the Epic Events Montane Grizedale Trail 26 at the beginning of February. When I signed up in at the end of 2018, I knew it would be an interesting gamble with the weather. Sure enough, defrosting the car on the morning of the race at 7:15 in my ¾ length leggings was not the one. Arriving at the forest car park the car was showing -3C and waiting on the start line we were all begging the officials to let us get under way just to get some warmth into us. We were warned of snow and ice out on the trails and to take to the grass when necessary. I didn’t think we’d be doing that just a couple of hundred yards from the starting gantry but it was the only course we could take as the horde split like the Red Sea either side of the ice...
