Guided course recces and mountain running skills sessions in the Lake District — led by fell running guide and mountain leader Dava Waterhouse.
Keswick-based running coach and mountain guide specialising in on-the-hill skills and fitness coaching for all mountain, trail and fell running disciplines.
Also Keswick Athletic Club fell running coach — he brings genuine depth of experience and passion for face-to-face coaching on the fells, working one-to-one and with small groups.
Recceing a race route is one of the most valuable things you can do in preparation. Walking or running the course with an experienced guide gives you knowledge of terrain, length on climbs, how to pace sections and where to take on nutrition effectively.
On race day, that familiarity is worth more than miles of extra training. You arrive at the start line with confidence, a plan, and no unwelcome surprises.
Cover all or specific sections of major Lake District routes — The Lap, Lakeland 100, local fell races and more. Group and one-to-one sessions available.
Bespoke training days covering all terrain types — scree, technical descents, navigation and mountain movement skills for race day gains.
Fully personalised sessions designed around your goals, fitness level and target event. Ideal pre-race preparation for any fell, trail or mountain race.
