August, and I am enjoying training and race regularly. It’s been a long time coming, and I am motivated for everything suddenly. Steel Fell Fell Race is an obvious classic and I am keen to get some more uphill racing in my legs before heading back to Europe later in the month for one of my target races: Trofeo Kima. I run a good race, steady on the climb pushing as hard as I dare, and descending fast (but not recklessly) on the steep grassy descent. I even have enough left for a sprint finish, and the years spent training on the track with Cornwall AC prove their worth again, with a final surge propelling me to 5th. My running mojo has returned. I am off to Trofeo Kima at the end of August for a long and technical alpine race that should suit me perfectly. September will be busy with Skyline Scotland followed immediately by the Rab Mountain Marathon (I won't be able to train for two or three weeks during this period), and then my A race of the year, the OMM at the end of October. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611996410343-8UM01BQA2NI9FZPHP04G/Shane+Ohly+Ennerdale+Horseshoe+2016 Blog - Running Mojo A little too keen at the start of the Ennerdale Horseshoe 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611996768864-PH95UB9QSKKL5R7AXDY0/Shane+Ohly+at+the+Darren+Holloway+Memorial+Race+2016 Blog - Running Mojo Broken again. nearing the end of the Darren Holloway Memorial Race.

As the winter progressed I got into the habit of starting late (often late afternoon), for my ‘day’ of winter walking, as I found practising navigation in the daylight too simple.

I specialised in free solo climbing (no ropes) and climbed professionally through product endorsement and sponsorship. Climbing has been an important theme throughout my life and I continue to climb at a high standard today whilst enjoying many international climbing adventures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613231840648-ESQHPD9T3SUB72XVHX2P/Shane+Ohly+racing+at+the+Ras+yr+Aran+fell+race.jpg About - Running During the early 2000s I made a transition from a sporting life focused on climbing, to one focused on mountain running. For many years my focus has definitely been mountain marathons and I have competed at an elite level. I love types of running challenges and find the lure of racing, whether along the road, through the woods or up a mountain almost irresistible. https://www.shaneohly.com/home daily 1.0 2023-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1679261934386-RC45EM7PH4I3K0EJE2Q6/Shane+Ohly+-+August+2022.jpg Home - Lake District Classic Rock Challenge 2022 A solo and unsupported completion of the Lake District Classic Rock Challenge https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611694870788-8YAUUJT5DPDGGRSOO8P4/Shane+Ohly+winter+Bob+Graham+Round+2020 Home - Bob Graham Round 2020 A solo and unsupported midwinter Bob Graham Round https://www.shaneohly.com/guiding daily 0.75 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611422412273-DWMKPGI7BQVPIQUH65F2/Shane+Ohly+Winter+Mountain+Leader Guiding - Shane Ohly Shane Ohly is a Mountain Leader (ML) and Winter Mountain Leader (WML). Since being introduced to the outdoors at school, he has become an elite level mountain runner who enjoys all aspects of being in the mountains... whatever the weather and especially at night! Shane's approach to teaching and leading in the mountains combines traditional navigation with more intuitive orienteering skills.

She has been walking, trekking, running, climbing and mountaineering for 20 years.

She regularly competes in Lake District fell races, mountain marathons and occasionally international races too. Heather is also a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) and she is happy to share her nutrition knowledge along the way! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611422597263-45VKA6H7G38HI1JH740V/IMG_2229.JPG Guiding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611422702934-CN1Y8FWPJ8GAYRJI3S3Y/IMG_2426.JPG Guiding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611422675043-60GA384G3NQAMGEEKFWJ/IMG_1456.JPG Guiding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1611422647406-C7N0CSHGQUDLWTJDBKAK/IMG_0844.JPG Guiding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612386726938-U451A9SH1CIRBNRHOB38/DSC_0248.JPG Guiding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612386752066-NSJGZD4SSXEEEEG0K9PW/DSC_0164.JPG Guiding https://www.shaneohly.com/climbing daily 0.75 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612384618080-5SQMDB3ZKSORJY3SM7W5/Shane+Ohly+Union+Star+Cove+E3.jpeg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613243069758-PG0DLJYD1UXQPDD6UYN5/Heather+Ohly+Bugaboos+2008.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613240332178-6OJ5ZG9QRBVXVT9DZYDL/Shane+Ohly+Esoterica+soloing.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613240806363-J9L95ZNQ5XA3HUN9EGTE/Shane+Ohly+soloing+on+the+gritstone.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613240227704-DTT7Z00U24QTIVO8BL3X/Shane+Ohly+soloing+Cornwall.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613240546977-HC0G93GZWM9QQYDFP71A/Shane+Ohly+Storms+Over+Africa+E7.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612384879574-WKUDEHDE6MGPDULODNMD/Truro+Multistory+Car+Park+2.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612030029633-TSM6W03EZDUCRI5NUOYO/Shane+Ohly+Debut+Arete Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612030337120-HTT17Q242ZRDALGBO285/Shane+Ohly+Frogs+in+a+Frenzy+E8+7a Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613251245481-DVXI6I4FWRB04O1PE55G/Shane+Ohly+soloing+at+Zennor+Head.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613251167119-V4HDQSUJUZ1B5251TKRM/Shane+Ohly+14-Lives-and-13-Souls-Union-Star-Cove.jpg Climbing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612031019542-NZQKIMTYYSX044IWRDO7/Shane%2BOhly%2Bclimbing%2BFuji%2BFrenzy%2B1996 Climbing https://www.shaneohly.com/running daily 0.75 2025-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1613237233392-SRWAHQRG42405OAO721G/Shane+Ohly+and+Duncan+Archer+win+the+2017+OMM+Elite.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612637493676-YF8CUTFBN4U8TXVDDX0T/Shane+Ohly+Sierre+Zinal+2019.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612637762812-75REVKW73ZWXK2YXIAGA/Shane-Ohly-Ras-yr-Aran-2020.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612636095450-X74H75915XJSDNQOBHYQ/Saunders+Lakeland+Mountain+Marathon+Klets+Winners+2011.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612635217635-ZA91OBXJ93KZMASSBA93/Shane-Ohly-British-Orienteering-Champs.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612635525953-AIPVR09CXVAKS7BDAXXF/Shane+Ohly+%26+Duncan+Archer+OMM+2011.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612634685057-L7RRF4FB2SZNV6AL6BXM/Shane+Ohly+and+Heather+Dawe+OMM+Elite+2007.jpeg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612634644688-27T39AEEECIGL8PG9PF5/LAMM-2007-Shane-Ohly-and-Karen-Davison.jpg Running https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/600c3492f694483df73b9e3f/1612634589084-76W5Z0476990VSROKD6G/Shane-Ohly-and-Rich-Parry-KIMM-2004.jpg Running
