Lovely run from Old Glossop up to Dog Rock along Dowstone Clough across to Higher Shelf Stones, Lower Shelf and then down James Thorne to Doctors Gate and back to the factory. The perfect post work tonic!
yesterday did the Broomhead chase, short but fast and hard.
today was the local club race Broomhead bash, and a bash it is, head high bracken, knee deep bilberry and heather, three steep stream crossing, hidden rocks and secret trods, huge variation in route choice meant going from 1st to 5th and back to 1st before all coming together before the final split. brilliant race

Not put anything on this thread for a while - basically because I've done little worth reporting in the past month or so, however tonight's 3.5 miles on Otley Chevin/Danefield has to be the wettest session I've ever done up there - torrential rain from a minute into the run plus thunder & lightning close by and the road crossing back onto Chevin was a fast flowing river - great fun!!
Yeah, it was bouncing it down in Horsforth too. Good to see your tendonitis is clearing up, i'm on treadmills for a week starting saturday, then circuits of Golden Acre for a week, then back to my old haunts- Strid Wood, Thruscross...and then i'm doing Osmotherly Show fell race which i can't stop thinking about!
Oddly my ITBS has been more troublesome for not running for 6wks...answers on a postcard
