Exactly how much stress is enough but not to much - it would seem going by feel is not good enough, hence the lactate measurements. I can...

A lot of the British elite also measure lactate during sessions.... particularly those living/training in the USA. That said.... "All of this...

An interesting article on the "Norwegian Method" of training - have your lactate blood testing kits handy: ...

Well Bob Graham himself went clockwise. Alan Heaton went anti-clockwise but the next four went clockwise then it's 2:1 in favour of anti-clockwise...

10.19 miles, 2,655 feet, 3 hours 15 minutes: Loughrigg trails, including down the race route to the road at High Close, down through Deerbolts Woods...

You've obvious got a better technique than me on these Mike. I think I was trying to hard for max. reps, rather than quality last time.

EMOM press-ups routine. 11 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes. Secs remaining for each of the 10X 1 min sets. ...

If you look at the Frog Graham Round completions the first 91 were anti- clockwise (except for Tim Mosedale who was the second completer and then...

EMOM for 28 minutes, all singles with 5 kg extra weight, the first 3 were pull-ups, all the rest chin-ups. So 28 efforts. I doubt I could have...

Back when I started my website in the early 2000s I assumed that the distribution between clockwise and anti-clockwise was roughly equal and that...

I've got Merlin. It's great, and most of the time it's right. I've found it very handy for learning birdsongs, as it highlights the birds alongside...

10.44 miles, 2,929 feet, 3 hours 34 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Miller Bridge - Rydal Park - Low Sweden Bridge - rock step - High Sweden Bridge -...

It's a good local XC, though hotly contested at the front end mainly by horsforth harriers' fast guys. My attendance is out of my control, purely...

I’ve had the Merlin app for a bit. It’s great.

Even if you pay they still throw sewage into the Wharfe!

Last week a friend of mine told me about a free app called Merlin Bird ID. Perhaps some on here have already got it but if not its worth looking at....

That is some going :D I did close to 25mins last time. I'd like to knock at least a couple of minutes off that.

And if you don't pay up, they will chuck raw sewage into the Wharfe. :o

I challenge you to take longer than the 39m31s that I took to descend from Glyder Fawr to Pen-y-Pass at the half Peris in 2017. :rolleyes: Is...

Club night. 3 x 1 km with 4 minute rests. A mixture of road and some twisty-turny gravel/path.... i don't think i've ever gone below about...

Thanks WP - hopefully we can get a few more involved for the tour. I knew Pog was going to score highly but I doubt any of us foresaw how dominant...

11.6 miles, 3,134 feet, 3 hours 31 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Clappersgate - Fishgarths Wood - Todd Crag - Lily Tarn - Loughrigg top - down the race...

Hope to see you there Luke, as I'll most likely do it - I've done it twice before and enjoyed it and the show. You even get a free beer at the end....

Although I like endurance I'm not very good at it. Probably better equipped for shorter stuff. I was always quick as a kid, playing on the wing at...

Thanks for the info. To be honest, if i'm looking for a road race then i'd be looking for a "fast" course.... road to me is about times so i'm...

There's a lot of luck involved Llani. Had Pog fallen ill or crashed I'd have been stuffed, and I was also helped by my worst points scorer being...

Thanks for doing the groundwork WP. I'll study the form more closely for the next one!

The Worksop Half marathon on 27th October is a nice one Travs. All on tarmac in and around Clumber Park. Not a PB course as a bit hilly. I did 1:27...

Did you find much difference between 10 miles and the half marathon? I've done a couple of 10 mile races (Brampton - Carlisle) and although i was...

Well done, Llani. Another one here who doesn't really enjoy road running and you can count the number of HMs I've done on one hand. Fantastic time -...
