Let the side down with my first non-running xmas day for a few years after two shortish (35 + 40 mins) icy/snowy runs on Weds & Thurs. Chevin Chase race today - 8.5 miles including to/from start/finish & warm up. Pleased with my personal worst by c6 mins as already decided to treat it as a training run!!
tough run today thanks to the deep snow, first run in a week so felt well knackered I bit too much ale yesterday! Seems the snow just sticks around forever on Ovenden moor had to run along a wall for about a mile thanks to the depth on the tracks on the tops!!! Still good to eventually get a decent session in feel good for it now
Nice but slow run today - 9 and a bit miles, 2400feet climbing, took about 2 hours... Snow was mid calf height on Moscar Moor, about 6" deep on Bamford Edge, but then mostly melted on Derwent Edge and Strines Moor.
Snow's knackering! particularly when bounding down a track which is mostly 2" deep in snow only to sink up to my waist. Monday's Bradfield boundary run should be a tough one, and I'm being a wimp and only doing half - good luck to those doing the full thing!
Only time for a light 5k on the roads this morning now the snow has disappeared.
Did Keighley & Craven Boxing Day duathalon today. 6ml road ride on mtb followed by c 3ml/500ft run. Great fun. Cheers brett!
no training since tuesday, fell on ice on wednesday landed on the base of my spine doesn't hurt now just waiting for this white stuff to melt..
penguins happy feet :w00t:
Over at parents' in Hadfield so an easy hour from Tintwistle - A sort of reverse Gravy 5 & a bit but missing out Lees Hill summit. Nice and wet underfoot.
7.5 miles ish along the sand dunes at blyth sustaining some nice bleeding legs from the marram grass...great stuff tho!
