4 hour walk today. Starting to feel a bit stronger
Another 5 hours today
Great stuff DT. You're really clocking up the hours (and miles!).
Another steady 6 mile run and 1200 feet today, plus a 750 calorie in-door row (49 minutes). Ankle still holding up. Staying in Cumbria this week and aiming to do Wildboar Fell just behind the cottage.
Entered LDWA Afoot in two dales 50 early July with Stef. Ian Charters rated it (it’s a loop inc Swaledale, Wensleydale, Gt Shunner fell etc) but it not been put on for about 10 years. 2019 LDWA 100 is Hadrian’s Wall and a 50 is an entry requirement
Cheers Ian!
Good run out with the KCAC last night again
Bowderdale to The Calf to Gt Dummocks and back again. 12.03 miles, 2643 feet and 2 hrs 21 mins (managed 1 hrs 57 mins back in May :( - but without the dodgy ankle!). Still, I'm on the path to recovery and the ankle has held up well so far - fingers crossed.
Been a more steady week after the relatively big mileages of the last couple of weeks. Only two sessions done this week so far, with a total of 11 miles and 3400ft.
Working at a trade exhibition at the NEC tomorrow, and going down to the road relays to spectate/reserve on Saturday, so not sure how much more I'll get in this week, although hoping for a decent run approx 20 miles Sunday.
Thinking back to last weekend's retirement, I guess I ran badly. Went out hard, and it was no surprise that with a niggle in my knee, it was going to fall apart. But looking on the bright side, I still got a hard 30 miles under my belt, with 28 miles the weekend before at LM42.
In better news, I've been picked for the Warwickshire team at the inter-counties Fell. I'm under no illusions that Warwickshire is not big mountain country, and in a more prominent Fell racing county I'd be nowhere near selection. But they have some decent runners, some very good cross country runners, and often punch relatively highly for a lowland county. But it's the highest accolade I'm likely to ever achieve (unless I manage something good in ultra long distance terms at some point in the future), so I'm very pleased.
