7.5 (or 6.7 or 8.3 or 9.1) dark, muddy miles by torchlight

Time for the next filthy installment. Down the river and canal to Haughton Dale it is an extended version of the last but this time it has been wet and isn't frosty so be prepared for mud.

Once again use trail shoes if you have them and bring a head or hand torch if you have one (I have a few spare head torches).

Off road in the dark tips:

  • Run light on your feet
  • Lift them a little higher than usual for each step
  • Keep your stride short
  • Give yourself a bit of extra space from the runner in front
  • Call out hazards to those behind and listen to those in front
  • Enjoy, smiling isn't optional!
