As Katz restores his old cabin, learns self-reliance in a lightning storm, and helps a friend prepare for fatherhood, he gathers newfound knowledge that will be a source of inspiration and achievement as he returns to the life he left behind. In the end, we admire Katz, not for the spiritual grace that he seeks but for the grace he finds: About Running to the Mountain Jon Katz, a respected journalist, father, and husband, was turning fifty.

I tested a pair of La Sportiva Wild Cat 2. They're maybe not my first choice for the fells in winter, but have plenty enough grip for the kind of wet grass and mud you might find heading off the trail in your local park or woods, and are a definite option for an Alpine race like the CCC or UTMB. Salomon offers a wide range and recently started testing their kit in the Lakes as they target the British fell-running market.
With so much choice out there, as Sean Hayes advises, it's worth visiting a specialist shop with knowledgeable staff: Whatever the truth about how much heat you lose through your head , a hat is obviously a good idea — and gloves too.

I did a five-day MLTB mountain leader training course at the Plas y Brenin national mountain centre in Snowdonia last year, which gave me confidence in the hills.

There's still a lot of hard snow on the approaches to Scafell Pike - which, as can be seen, looked glorious today! Twitter is also a useful resource when trying to find out if there's snow and ice on the tops — just search the name of your mountain and you might find photos taken in the past few days or hours.
In the Lakes, the fell-top assessors provide daily conditions reports on Helvellyn and Scafell Pike. You should obviously carry a mobile phone and some cash in a waterproof bag.
