approx 10 miles, predominantly XC. Not a lot wet as it was all frozen. Even ran across ice on the usual boggy bits. Lots of tracks heavily rutted by tractors etc and then frozen solid, which made maintaining any speed fun
Only slow and steady, but thats OK
Nowt wrong with slow and steady
30m/6828ft 6h 11m Did a 15m loop from home, called back to feed my face with soup and sarnies, 10 min break sat outside house, if i'd have sat inside the temptation to run the bath, have a fag and say 'sod it' would have been to great
Second 15m seemed easier, probably cos it had warmed up a bit, malt loaf on the move tasted good, butter on it made it moist and easy to get down.
Only fell over twice, all in all a good day out.
57m run/walked this week with 11642ft of climbing, guinness tonight

Your guna cruise round at this rate.
Sounds like a reet grand adventure.
13 miles 4000' over and around the Pentlands with Doggies yesterday..stunning day, sunny, mostly frozen ground.
Saw a large Buzzard, a Roe deer and a beautiful red fox, that was sunbathing in the heather until one of the collies nearly stepped on it
was only slowed up by the 'dozens' of fell runners 'familiarising' themselves with the carnethy five route...
all in all a brilliant day
good luck to everybody on race day

13.2 miles yesterday - 1h46m: a trail race in the Colne valley (that's as in Colne Valley and Halstead Railway). Good going at first on frozen ground (apart from the tussocky bits - one of the fields was quite the worst I think I've run on recently) then slightly more difficult as the surface softened towards the end. Lots of ups and downs. One of my shoes fell apart (not completely, obviously) when I kicked a tussock quite hard on a descent to the second clipper point, which made the last few miles quite interesting with the sole going ger-flip ger-flap on the slightest bit of rough ground. Last hard run before Shropshire next weekend.
I need to get a long run in. not done one for soooooooo.... long
building up distance Iain with an eye on the Fellsman and the BGI need to get a long run in. not done one for soooooooo.... long
might try and bung on another 10 miles next weekend to make it 32m and see how I get on: have never run more than 23m.
