First run outside of Teesdale for what seems like ages. So, an old favourite, from Weasdale up to Green Bell, along the green trod to Randygill Top,...

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. ...

Reccied the first half of the Welsh 1000 (short) this afternoon. Started off from Ogwen in beautiful sunshine, but by the time I reached the foot...

EMWM for 40 minutes, thumbs touching chest to floor press-ups. 11 sets of 3, 21 sets of 2, the rest singles. So 83 in total.

14.29 miles, 3,678 feet, 4 hours 10 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Roman Ruins - Borrans Park - Stagshaw Gardens - Skelghyll Lane - Troutbeck - Garburn...

I think you have to be careful because fell running is a tad niche and fields are small. At BBH when we were 3 times junior fell winners, we had a...

There's not much difference in speed and strength between males and females in the youngest junior age groups. I was watching Becky Willoughby's...

Yes... I totally agree, there's a lot of sense behind it, and i'd love to try it myself. Just throwing up a counter-point that its not the only...

"they are perhaps more likely to go way past their lactate threshold in rep sessions..." But then it will take them ages to recover from that...

2 laps of a 5k loop at 9.30mmp last night. I went up to 3 strides/breath at about 4.5km and stayed there for the rest of the run. Historically these...

Yes that appears to be the theory, but its not the only method. If you take an event like the 1500mtr (which Ingerbritsen is well known for).... ...

Exactly how much stress is enough but not too much - it would seem going by feel, nor time, is not good enough, hence the lactate measurements. I...

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
