11.6 miles, 3,134 feet, 3 hours 31 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Clappersgate - Fishgarths Wood - Todd Crag - Lily Tarn - Loughrigg top - down the race...

Hope to see you there Luke, as I'll most likely do it - I've done it twice before and enjoyed it and the show. You even get a free beer at the end....

Although I like endurance I'm not very good at it. Probably better equipped for shorter stuff. I was always quick as a kid, playing on the wing at...

Thanks for the info. To be honest, if i'm looking for a road race then i'd be looking for a "fast" course.... road to me is about times so i'm...

There's a lot of luck involved Llani. Had Pog fallen ill or crashed I'd have been stuffed, and I was also helped by my worst points scorer being...

Thanks for doing the groundwork WP. I'll study the form more closely for the next one!

The Worksop Half marathon on 27th October is a nice one Travs. All on tarmac in and around Clumber Park. Not a PB course as a bit hilly. I did 1:27...

Did you find much difference between 10 miles and the half marathon? I've done a couple of 10 mile races (Brampton - Carlisle) and although i was...

Well done, Llani. Another one here who doesn't really enjoy road running and you can count the number of HMs I've done on one hand. Fantastic time -...

Final Result Witton 9028 PeteS 7524 Llani 5389 Using a big chunk of my 100 points on Pogacar paid off. His total score was 3719, way ahead of...

Top effort that Llani. I've only ever done 2 HMs and you've beaten my PB set at Freckleton almost 20 years ago, when I was about 40. I hated it and...

Well done.

30 EMOM alternating pull-ups and chin-ups. Pull-ups 2x5 2x4 7x2 4x1 Chin-ups 1x7

I've pre entered the rougemont chase, there's a 50/50 chance I'll make it to the start. I need to try and get a speed endurance session going, so I...

I'm afraid not. The Welsh vest was free though!

Great Effort Bob! Faster than I've ever managed one - even when I was young.

Thumbs touching chest to floor press-ups, EMOM for 65 minutes, all singles. These are getting easier, I should have done pairs.

Running as part of the Welsh Masters team did they pay your entry fee? Well done for a good result.

Brilliant..... 1:26 is very respectable. Sub-1:25 next time.... and then its only a short step to 4:00/km pace (just over 1:24)......!

Well done - an interesting read and a great time.

12.44 miles, 3,420 feet, 3 hours 56 minutes: Fairfield Horseshoe clockwise from/to Ambleside, going to the left/west of Great Rigg, the south west of...

The anti-clockwise BGR has rather fallen out favour over recent years and I see only 4 out of 105 successful rounds went that way in 2023. Yet, for...

A walk over Beacon Hill, Copt Oak, Timberwood Hill and Ives Head; about 14-15 miles, including some fairly rough ground, in 4h19m. Tried in vain to...

Mmmh. I cycled home through a lightning/thunderstorm this evening from Blubberhouses Fell (ie high) pondering similar thoughts on roads somewhat...

After staying up late last night (well, late by my standards, ie past 11pm) to watch the Diamond League/Prefontaine Classic Mile...... which saw the...

Running back home, off the fell this afternoon, I had to pass through the upper allotment. It's quite a few hundred acres in size and more recently...

10.74 miles, 1,089 feet, 2 hours 6 minutes: Drunken Duck loop from Rothay Bridge, going via Bog Lane and Skelwith Fold/Bridge, and adding 5 out and...

About half a pint of water (yes, I'm probably not keeping myself well enough hydrated); and a chocolate-coated flapjack.

Thorp Perrow is a very nice parkrun just off the A1 by Bedales in N Yorkshire. I did it for the first time today and was impressed. Very little...
