    In my view anything under 8 mins shows a good level of overall fitness, something most of the population could not hope to achieve. So 7-38 is very decent, and needs a concerted effort to reach that level.

    7-04 was the best I could achieve without dedicating a huge portion of training time towards it.

    As a rough guess with no knowledge behind it, I'd say 7-00 would be roughly equivalent to a 40 minute 10km, or a 20 minute 5km, in running terms.

    No problem. Everyone's different with regards to what motivates them.

    I for one am one competitive bastard. I love seeing the same people at races and measuring my performance against them, and I am never happy. I've done over 40 fell races now (a small total compared to many) and I still don't think I've been totally satisfied with any of them yet. In a perverse way I love "putting the knife in" when someone just behind me is struggling and I break into a run on a tough climb. Obviously I'm aware of my level of ability, and I am light years behind the real runners, but everyone has their own competition, wherever in the field they are...

    Of course I love being out in the fells, but I really should try and "enjoy the moment" a bit more. But for me the enjoyment comes from sitting down when it's all over and reflecting on a tough day out.

    30mins on bike at 80% or above heart rate.

    Doing this 3 x week is supposed to help depression.

    I'll give it a good go.

    Last night did 40 mins steady on the cross trainer, followed by weights, squats, core work.

    Did identical session again this morning, but a bit higher intensity.

    Back out running tomorrow...
