Tor y Foel Fell Race - 09.03.25

TOR Y FOEL FELL RACE

Belated post about my first race of 2025! 

The race is just over 7km with approximately 350m of elevation gain, starting and finishing near Talybont Reservoir. 

It's short and SOOO fast!

Although the route has a punchy open fell section to the top of and off of Tor y Foel, it starts and ends on fire tracks and tram ways meaning there's some serious opportunity to get speedy.

This race was a chance for me to get back into 'race mode' while providing a wonderfully hurty zone 4 session.

I'm seeing big improvements in my speed and overall fitness thanks to the guidance of @bethan_logan - smashing my target of going sub 40 minutes. 

Race stats:

Place: 5th Overall 

Time: 37:46

Massive thanks as always to the race organiser and all the volunteers that make these races happen. 

Next stop, something a bit more my style - longer and lumpier!
