Felt good and the warm drizzle felt beautiful, was soaked by the time I finished.
Today (Thur 29th)
8 miles easy - 55.12
Had to hold back as I just wanted to keep pushing it along and I MUST keep my easy runs easy if I'm to avoid injury AGAIN! Preferred yesterdays weather, as opposed to todays heat whilst in full sunlight.
Rest day tomorrow and getting another sports massage. Quite looking forward to the pain :cool:
Filled a four tonne skip and then went to Cricket practice. :D
13 miles in total easy seven on moors from white coppice followed by steady 6 miles on roads and canal. Days rest tommorrow for Duddon which is being done as part of a 50 mile week as training for Saunders:D
Interesting to see that you use doubles to make up your 50mpw. Any reasons for this, as personally I prefer/have only ever, just smashed out that kind of mileage in singles....Quote:

ah well bottle of pain killers will sort it out.
Bike commute - on road both ways + easy 5.5 mile run - mix of towpath, road & bridleways.
Yesterday, 8 road miles from Stratford towards Banbury direction. No hills but all very verdant and humid.
8 miles on the flat along the cliffs of holderness near Hornsea, it will be the same on Sunday morning. Not a hill in sight :0(
On the brighter side the trunce is getting nearer:0)
Eating, drinking and sun basking. :D
Joined a new gym today though so hopefully will keep up some fitness while my ickle foot is mending! ;)
Wincle Trout race :D
lookin forward to eating my trout :)
Happy days again. Did a light 4.7 mile on Pex Hill Trail paths today and felt fine no problems with calf.
Lovely hot sunny afternoon and wished I had been okay to run the Garburn race though.
Completed Duddon in just over 5hrs as part of a fairly hard week, total 50 miles;)
First session since returning from injury :)
6 x approx 500-600m hill reps with about 100m ascent
2min-2.15min jog back recovery
1.45, 1.46, 1.51, 1.52, 1.51, 1.41
Felt great to get the legs moving at a good speed again! Looking forward to getting a few more tough sessions under my belt and then getting back racing again :cool:
warm up then 12 x 50 strides(or 30 secs) with 1 min recovery.
7 mile around Pex Hill this morning felt a bit tired after yesterdays short run and not doing much for three weeks but really enjoyed it.
Good to see you're up and running again Pinno! ;)Quote:

steady nine miles mainly canal towpaths. Legs felt surprisingly fresh considering done duddon yesterday
Kinder Trog recce with three lovely ladies from Penistone.
Wet & miserable until Red Brook but drier and much more enjoyable from then on.:)
An easy 18 around Duddon valley yesterday! Need more long days in the hills like that. Easy walk around Fairfield today and then a long wet drive home. Back running tomorrow.
Jason
Yesterday evening ran the Mickleden Straddle route. First longish run for some time and better than expected. All was shrouded in mist/cloud and v. humid. Even better, didn't see a soul. Was back at the car for 9:30pm and still loads of daylight left.
Probably off for a trot this lunch time, about 6 mile ish, on the road.
5 miles by the canal tow path around Hyde
Had an hours gym session this morning with a trainer,used kettlebells,my hamstrings are killing me now!!Anyone else tried them?
Wotsthem:confused: Do they tell you when the kettles boiled?Quote:

They are weights,ball shaped but with a handle,the idea is you basically swing them between your legs(im serious guys)and use your hips to push the kettlebell on the upswing.Its meant to help you use the stored energy in your muscles(something lke that):o will percivere and see if it works......or notQuote:
