In reply to The New NickB:
Can see seriously good road runners excelling at Y3Ps.
Never feels like a fell race to me. Always consider it a long, fast moving, ‘trail’ race, with a couple of sharp steeps lobbed in.
I always think it’s a hard race though, one that demands the runner to administer some real thought, discipline and tactics to run well, irrespective of ability.
Back on topic, agree with Waitout, it’s all just running. Who really cares what ‘discipline’ it is, as long as you’re out there enjoying yourself.
