7.8m/2250' from kettlewell today, zone 2/3 pace which meant walking some hills that i'd normally dig in and run all the way. A short effort of about...

That's never happened to me, what socks do you wear? Get some sudacrem on there and once it's scabbed over a layer of k-tape will get you back on...

They both talk about the mind making a case for laying off and dropping in behind the other guy. This is why i like speed endurance training so much,...

Was nervously watching the temerature gauge rise on the journey over today, to a beautiful and very secluded part of Shropshire.... in fact i think...

Congratulations on your anniversary Anthony.... Final score for the week 62.5 miles. Unfortunately i've lost most of the skin on my heel after...

Yesterday's bike ride took an odd turn for me and I ended up taking the Rea Valley cycle route (NCR5) back into Brum before heading home. I noticed...

Well the importance of resting should not be underestimated!

13.2 miles, 3,418 feet, 4 hours 7 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Miller Bridge - Rydal - Fairfield Horseshoe c/w, going over the 3 tops on the way up,...

Yes 25% is still OK. The percentage varies with age bands, not least for historical reasons, so it is 44% for 0-20 years but only 1% for 80+. ...

Historically women have comprised about 10-12% of both attempts and successes on the Bob Graham Round. Someone, somewhere (might have been Graham)...

I've just returned from a week's holiday (a cruise to the Norwegian fjords with my wife, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary), during which I...

Well nothing cryptic there Mr B.:)

You're not making any sense, must be a south yorkshire joke. The mag has rather a lot of long distance stuff in it again, i'm still interested in...

Do you mean west/south? surely? I'm not following you at Bradwell. There seem to be more sliproad junctions on the A630 and it may well be quicker as...

Get an MRI if you can, and get a printout of the slice of your whole spine down the middle so people can see the curvature and bone positions. A...

Parkrun this morning, 20.47. I just wanted to start well and not get screwed over on the last lap from going too fast, i ran a pretty comfortable...

There are 2 short rocky sections, 1 at the top, and 1 about half way down, but almost all the rest is lovely runnable grass - nice up or down. Park...

I saw your pics... i've never done that way off (or indeed on to) Steel Fell.... only ever directly to/from north towards Thirlmere or straight to...

Thanks - I'll explore that possibility too.

Well after the Rugby 7's last weekend, it seems Coventry City's game tomorrow may well be called off as the pitch is apparently in such a bad state....

One might have thought by starting last he could have watched the runs of those with earlier start times with his DS on the TV, before he started his...

Despite the BBC's studio presenters mateyism, all the back story crap, and the English bias I have quite enjoyed the Empire, sorry, Commonwealth...

Another great day in the athletics. Particularly enjoyed the women's 3000m steeplechase. Had a great time at the hockey last night. Australia looked...

Sara Willhoit, recently narrowly beaten into 2nd place at Snowdon, won the Middletown Hill Race outright last night in Shropshire.

I'd be more inclined to stay on the M1 until J33 and then into Sheffield Centre on the Parkway (A630) then go east/south around the inner ring road,...

The A625 is from a dirty great big roundabout off the ring road. There's a Waitrose on it. If you go north round the ring road it's a bit easier than...

Another 3 dodgy rides into work this week, 51m. My right knee soreness is not really going, just stagnating, it's an inconvenient time for a full...

Right, well Bradwell still isn't full so i've bobbed an entry in. If i come into sheffield on the A61 from J36, how easy is the A625 to find? It...

9.53 miles, 2,556 feet, 2 hours 57 minutes: Wansfell Pike from Rothay Bridge, including the Roman Ruins, Borrans Park, Stagshaw Gardens, the Champion...
