If you like the idea of being able to go Fell & Trail Running run in the tumbling hills of the Cotswolds and further affield in the mountains mountains but have never started then this will be the perfect day for you.

We are  highly experienced women fell runners who are passionate about getting more women to enjoy this sport. Both of us have competed nationally and have been involved with fell running for many years and… we both just love being out in the hills. We will facilitate a well-structured, confidence-building day introducing you to fell running.

Fell running is exhilarating: leave your world-worries behind, be out in nature, have a view, feel the elements and be away from the traffic. We think when you’ve tried it that you won’t want to go back to the tarmac! We help you find your confidence – build on your strengths and not let any weaknesses dominate.

This is a day where you work at your chosen level and we get you to find your ‘off road’ feet.

The Day

We will start at 9.30 am taking you through various elements of fell running in a well-planned day. There will be practical outdoor sessions as well as indoor seminars.

There’s the chance to deal with your insecurities and help you to work on your perceived weaknesses as well as giving you some enthusiastic ‘can-do’ attitude.

Covering technique, mental approach, fitness and confidence in a well-planned day,  there will also be chance look at kit and touch on nutrition as well as how to find out about races.

All ages are welcome and all abilities. And rest assured, this is not a day about ‘eyeballs out’ speed, discomfort or running straight up a mountain as soon as you arrive! You work at your chosen pace and it is not a competitive day.

Your Ability

We imagine that you will have done some running and that you are able to jog 5k continuously as minimum. The speed doesn’t matter. This is not a day for elite athletes.

You’ll be given a checklist of what to bring when you book. Drinks will be provided and the use of a kitchen – you will need to bring lunch and snacks.

We will be based in the beautiful village of Sapperton just outside of Cirencester - 40 minutes from Bath & an hour away from Bristol and just over an hour away from London.
