RE: April Fuel 2014
I am having a similar experience having read Feet in the Clouds in recent weeks. Through his writing Askwith has shifted my motivation by an alarming degree. In the space of three weeks I have gone from someone who wanted to do a little bit of running to improve my mountain biking fitness to someone who now gets a kick out of pushing his running boundaries… I have done runs in the last while that I don’t think I would have contemplated pre FITCs… and discovered, as Askwith points out, that the biggest barrier to what you can achieve is in your head, not in your legs. Mind you when your legs go on strike, there is not a great deal your head can do about it.
To be honest I probably would have got there without Askwith as I slowly discovered the joys of hill running – but I certainly have got there a lot quicker with him. My love of the Lake District is deeply ingrained (which is another reason I enjoyed FITCs so much) and I am already planning a run over the Cats Bells, hopefully in the summer.
If only I could shake this incessant cough and get back out there.
