A short 3.3 mile run around Pex Hill in very boggy and very wet conditions tonight. Second run of the week using the head torch.
this is more like a weeks training:
I've been to Horton in ribblesdale since saturday, camping, misery, mud, wet.
Sunday, did three peaks run, the time is well over what it should, i bloody hurt my left knee descending whernie, by the time i got to the botton of ingle, i had to keep stopping and starting due to the pain. However, covered in mud, soaked and in pain, still managed to do it well under the good walking times, but could have knocked an hour and a half off!!
Got to compliment nuun tabs, not one bit of cramp, mudclaw 270's: Not one blister.
Monday: knee playing up, so gentle walk along river to helwith bridge then up ghent.
Tuesday, knee seemed better so i had a nice trot from Horton to foxup and back. Tuesday night, tent developed a leak so i slept in a wet bag, i was so knacked i didn't bloody care.
Wednesday: booked into the bunkhouse at the station inn, Ribblehead. Then had a run up whernie and back, worst weather i've ever experinenced on the fells.
Thursday, nice run up park fell to ingle, then back down to the road and back to ribblehead.
That was it, my legs were not happy and the weather had finally broken me
Friday; home, warm bed and beer
4 hill reps at Dovestones this morning, just short of 200 metres each one. Bright sunshine and no rain.
NOT the time to be doing such foolish things at 8 in the morning....bl**dy agony.Next time I'll wait until the afternoon at least!
A bit over 2hours steady trot / bog-snorkel / doggie-paddle on a very wet Ilkley Moor and the surrounding area. Found it hard work tbh; especially as the sun has now decided to come out at last!

A steady 6 mile in the mud this afternoon on Pex Hill. Found it hard work today probably due to not having much to eat since this morning.
