Running guiding and clubs

If you’re unsure of your navigation or mountain running skills, consider being led by a qualified mountain professional, who can teach you mountain running techniques and skills, runners’ navigation skills, and give you tips on how to select a runner’s line on a mountain. In the Lake District, contact Icicle (www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/trailrunning.html) for guided trail and fell running coaching. Another alternative is to gain experience running with others in a club, such as Ambleside AC (www.amblesideac.org.uk), with whom you can enjoy group training runs on weekday evenings or at the weekends. For more information see Appendix A.

Using this guide

The routes in this guidebook have been selected to offer a wide variety of running styles, in different regions of the Lake District. For simplicity the national park has been split into four areas, which roughly correspond to the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps; south-east, south-west, north-west and north-east.
