Finished up doing the last 5k down a disused railway line in around 17mins Dont know if this was wise having already been running for nearly 3hrs but felt good ;) First marathon training run in the lead up to Edinburgh....bring it on

No tarmac this week
A very good, enjoyable and fun week. Cant say I'm getting any quicker but the heather seems to be getting shorter! It's looking like it could be a good year for me.

On Saturday did Pen Y Pass to Glyder Fawr, then Glyder Fach, Tryfan, Lyn Idwal, Pen Yr Ole Wen (east ridge), Idwal Cottage (direct descent... interesting!), Y Garn, Glyder Fawr and back to Pen Y Pass. Tryfan was a bit of an error as I've not done it before and it was fully clagged up. Spent the best part of an hour getting up from the col from Glyder Fawr and then back down to the lake. Missed the Heather Terrace. Otherwise a good run, despite zero views. Annoyingly Sunday was a glorious day.

Another 40mins in hotel gym. It was even hotter today and a real struggle. Roll on Sunday and some proper running

Can you predict the weather?
What will it be in Marsden for the Ian Roberts race on Sunday?

Sat- 25mile 3,500ft (Trollers Trot)
Mon-Weights in gym, 4.5mile on the road.

Felt a bit tired from Trollers Trot, should be recovered for Hobble on Saturday though!

Just a quick 6 mile 1250ft run to work finishing with Beacon hill overlooking Halifax before the drop down to chocolate world (work).
