3.2 miles early morning around the lake.. 6 hours of skiing.. I'm actually seeing progress, no falls and blacks being done so nice day.. eve: 14 mile road run, 1000ft ascent 7:25 pace, legs felt battered after the skiing.
Nice area for skiing, Sunday River in maine, a resort spread over 8 mountains, wooded hills I'd say, but decent amount of descent..
Did Tan Hill to Hardrow on Pennine Way, 15 mile I think. No idea of climb as watch/gps got tired early on! Was supposed to go as far as Hawes, then to Horton but got tired as I ran harder than expected, then distracted by the wife and a pub!

Great run out last night from Strines Inn.
Visiting Abbey Brook, Berristers Tor, Low Tor, Howshaw Tor and back across the moors in the sort of visibility you might expect to see a werewolf or headless knight!
5.6 miles, 1300ft av pace 14:35.
Being the first run after the clock change I was expecting the shock of actually seeing where I was going.. I was wrong, very wrong! Even needed the headtorch for the last half hour!

15 miler 3500ft in Knoydart this morning.
Ran the Edale to Win Hill leg of the skyline yesterday. Made good time to Win Hill (maybe 80 mins, accounting for stopping to map read). before making a daft navigation error, erm, three times which seemed to take me back to Win Hill each time. Had aimed to get to Hollins Cross & drop off there; hit the Edale Rd instead.
what!!!!!
What did you do in Knoydart Shaunetto?
Nice week, only 70 miles, but 3 full days of skiing plus good hilly runs and a 10 mile race which was a pb.
Just love maine, the trails were covered in 0.5-1m of snow so trail running was a no go, but many of the roads are dirt roads and nice and hilly so cracking training area. However you'd turn a corner and hit a 6ft wall of snow as only some roads are kept open so some interesting runs..
Improved on mu skiing, only fell twice and that was on my very first and very last runs but otherwise skiing everything apart from double black diamonds.
m: 3.1 mile run. pm: 8.5 mile run 1000ft ascent.
t: 3.1 mile run 6 hours skiing
w: 3.2 mile run. 6 hours skiing. pm: 14 mile road run 1000ft ascent
t 3.1 mile run. 6 hours skiing. 7 mile road run 1000ft ascent.
f: 5 mile run
s: 5.4 mile run Boston, MA. pm: 3.2 mile run DC after 8 hour drive
s: 0.5 mile warm up, 10 mile cherry blossom race, USA 10 mile champs. Actually not a great field to race in, bit of a gap in the seeded runners as elite women went first so normally we're in with them.. but 55:57, new pb so happy enough. 7:30 am start but didnt really warm up enough in the cold weather but got going later on as I found a group to tag on to..
2 mile cool down, with trip to the white house. pm: 4 miles slow.
splits were:
1 5:26
2 5:35
3 5:36
4 5:37
5 5:33
6 5:42
7 5:36
8 5:36
9 5:32
10 5:33
Just that mile 6 where I slowed, but think sub 55 should be OK in the right conditions, the course had 2 180 degree turns which slowed me, plus numerous sharp turns. Happy enough with it, thinking about Chicago marathon in October now to try and get a quicker time.
12 miles, accidently. Got lost around the roads near Licques, Pas de Calais, France. Got soaked due to torrential rain after two miles....

Steady week so far for me. After doing the Kinder Dozen on Sunday, 22 miles and 9,400ft I've been a little achey/tired. Tuesday - 5k run and 45 mins at club coaching session doing some conditioning drills and sprints. Thursday - 5k steady running to work and back.
Legs still ache so will just get in a steady run at the weekend most likely.
