Yesterday I did 22 mile road run as marathon training pushing on quite quickly for me.
Today I did the Criffle Hill race 6.4 miles one of the muddiest in the SHR calendar, to be honest I felt I had recovered quite well after yesterdays run, second home for my club, tried my best to catch Iain R lady GB team mate Joe but she was a touch too fast, in fairness she is recovering from a crack rib.

She's tough.. see about her fall at Seville? fell within the first few hundred yards, trampled, cracked rib and a broken nose and ran on to come 2nd in 2:41.. incredible run..Originally Posted by Tahr
Steady 14.2 today, 7:50 pace, legs tired but free bar at yesterdays race took its toll..
One of those rip off races.. $30 for a 5k and for that all you got was a free tech t-shirt, chip timing, free pint glass, nice medal thats also a bottle opener, snacks after the race (bagels, banana's etc), then back to the running shop for breakfast buffet and a beer.. then an open bar at the local irish pub 8-2 am...
Ok, mums the wordGarrigill to Crossfell onto Great Dun Fell swinging north east down the track beside Trout Beck and then following the track and later the lane back to Garrigill, is one of my favourites. Glad you enjoyed it too Mark. I've never seen another fell runner on this route in all the many years I've been running it. Let's keep it a secret !oh and Strava (oops!)
She was telling us about it after the race, Joe said that she when she got back to her feet and got running she didn’t realise that the wetness on her face was blood she though she was sweating a lot.
She said before the start of the race she was only going to run to the end of the road and back but she didn’t she ran up the hill and beat most of the guys to the top. She has come on fantastically, 3 or 4 years ago I used to beat her in local hill races not any more.
The Criffle race was a £5 Iain, although the race organiser had advised that anybody shorter than 4 feet tall should not enter because of the risk of the mud coming over there head.

Steve, I think your Sunday effort should be classed as 'interval speedwork' - I think you got quite a sweat on with repeated chasing after (and catching) one of the runners! Oh and while carrying a sack full of spare kit!
A circular route mostly downhill
@Corniceman:
I basically ran up the road from Ings (...the garage on the main road Windermere-Kendal). I joined the track...something Butts Lane(?), which is part of L50/100. Then straight over the ridge to High Street and down other side to Pooley Bridge. Then I basically followed L100 route through Dalemain. I made that bit up a bit going to Dacre and following mainly road and a track over to Dockray then the followed drove road round until meeting BG route over to Threlkeld! Pint in Sally!!
The ridge is worth doing on its own, thats 20 mile but tricky logistically. I was lucky to get dropped off by Mrs TFG who was working in Keswick!
