What to Expect

Every guided session is designed around what you want to achieve, whether that’s gaining confidence, improving navigation skills, or simply enjoying a supportive day in the mountains. Walks and runs can be planned to fit your fitness level and interests, whether you're aiming to complete Wainwrights, train for an event, or just enjoy the scenery.

For guided walks, expect a relaxed but well-structured day, covering terrain suited to your ability. Lauren will help you navigate safely, share knowledge of the landscape, and offer advice to help you feel more comfortable in the mountains.

For guided runs, whether it’s a steady-paced outing or a recce for a future challenge, Lauren will work with you to plan the best route. With her Leadership in Running Fitness qualification, she can help with pacing, technique, and confidence in off-road terrain.

Guided walks and runs take place in a variety of mountain and hill environments, with routes chosen based on your goals and experience level. Whether it’s classic routes in the Lake District, quieter trails off the beaten path, or a specific challenge you have in mind, Lauren will ensure the best experience for you.

Prerequisites

These guided experiences are open to everyone, regardless of ability or experience. All that’s needed is appropriate clothing, footwear, and enthusiasm for being outdoors. 

If you have any specific concerns, Lauren is happy to discuss and adapt the session accordingly.
