Today's Training

[IanDarkpeak]

10 mile/1190 ft guiding around some wilder parts of the peak.

steady pace.

[Richard Head]

Drove into me refusing to budge I dive out the way and hurl abuse, he jams his breaks on, reverses back into me.. jumps out runs at me.. so I shove him back and exchange a few words, really should have thrown a punch but I need a clean record for this visa... he then yells at me 'Did tha see me.. Did tha see me!!'

Yes clearly I did, I just assumed you'd pull over a metre you little fat shit, 'lay a hand on me again and I'll put tha in the ditch'

He had no teeth so I think he had form for getting a kicking...

Going by your description Iain, that sounds very much like Danbert

TBH I think I was well within my rights to shove him away, he'd just driven into me and reversed into me making contact.. when he jumped out I think I was right to expect an attack.. anyway a woman pulled over and yelled that I was right to be running into traffic...but she was 'a stupid bitch' in his words.. an old guy stopped as the traffic by now was all stopped.... then two cyclists stopped and he then got back in his car..

Stupidly i didnt get his number.. she was a runner so tempted to tweet see if anyone got his number...

His argument was I should run on the rough grass on the side of the road... anyway helped my pace... was sub 6:20 for a chunk of miles with that adrenalin....

Sorry to hear about your altercation Ian, last year my mate had a lorry driver get out of his cab brandishing an iron bar after a fall out at a roundabout.

Well I am getting back into it; my knee is niggling but holding up at the minute.

Saturday down the lakes with the class of 2014, we ran leg 2 of the BG 14 miles 4900ft of climb.

Sunday ran my local hills again 14 miles but 6400ft of climb, not a lot of running but more trudging through fresh snow, pretty tough going to be honest.

Today a club speed session, interval training 800m x 5 relay race with warm up and cool down.

Yesterday's jog along the canal

[shaunaneto]

If we meet up at the LAMM I will introduce you to my running partner, former European and World sledge dog racing champion.

Cheers Tahr, I'd like that.

After best part of three weeks off. Back to running.

Bloody hideous, everything is a slog. Hopefully back up to speed soon though, heading to Glencoe this weekend. Weather looking a bit ropey so low level runs looking likely.
