A light 3.12 mile on the roads a round Cronton this morning. Capenhurst 10k road race lined up for tomorrow.
Slow trot round Kentmere horseshoe(11miles). Weather cool and clear, just a few spots of rain around high street. About 46 miles this week, over 30 on fells:D
17 mile trot down the route of an old railway line from Whickham to Shotley Bridge and back. The beer and sandwiches provided by my mate's missus when we finished were a pleasant bonus, must visit them more often:)
Bizarre interval training whilst supervising pupils on DoE. Drive to checkpoint, look for pupils or chalk marks, run across fells and back to car, drive on to a further checkpoint and run back to previous ones looking for chalk and pupils. rest in car and repeat. Fri and Sat. sat was evev harder afetr little sleep as pupils at up talking till all hours!
But it did allow me to run over Pendle etc several times and the weather and views were great
31 miles on the bike. Went the wrong way so it ended up as 36.....
Might even try a run tomorrow!
Warm up, 5 x 5mins off 2 mins jog recovery, warm down. Hit them all hard.
4 hours on the bike at over 18 average - hurt a bit after over 2 weeks of sun and very little serious exercise. Right, where's mi fell shoes..............
6 hours round the Ennerdale valley yesterday so resting today. In the last month I have ran a road marathon and 2 Lakes superlongs so I think I will have me an easy week, gentle jogs with the missues before considering Wasdale and the future.

9 miles over Bowland fells. Started from fell foot fields paths to start around the farms to the west of the fells, then longish gradual climb along path to fiensdale head continued to true summit of fairsnape over saddle fell and down to saddle end farm and back to fell foot. Out for slightly less than 1hr 40mins. Weather fanatastic for running sunny with cooling breeze:D
Long run in S Lakes from Kirkstone- not fast but lots of navigation and route choice in preparation for SLMM. Having to be back to collect kids from a motorway drop off point certainly made us run the last bit fast. Great running weather and fantastic views
More enforced mountain biking for me yesterday and today :(
Only 5 miles on Chevin yesterday (slight thigh strain but fine today) and an 8.5 mile walk from Marsden today - getting away from the crowds onto Buckstones
Moor- amazed how dry it was underfoot following the boundary fence along to the P Way.
9 miles easy, offroad as always, with+felt TOO EASY! - 63 minutes
Relieved I have no running on my schedule for the next 2 days as my left calf is SMASHED!
Capenhurst 10k today for me. Nice to be racing again today.
5.25 miles for me tonight straight from work round park bridge & daisy nook :)
Found my fell shoes and took myself up over Hameldon and the moors for 50 minutes or so. Felt good and a damn site better than that running machine.
Run?? I could barely walk the next day. Todays 2 mile shuffle wasn't much better. Back to being fat and lazy I guess.... :(Quote:

A nice easy recce of the Whaley Waltz Fell Race which is on Saturday 28th June.
Should be a good race, especially if it stays dry.
45 min recovery run to work, 1 mile trot home, felt ballbagged after work.
3.5 miles round Entwhistle reservoir, felt fat, heavy and got covered in midges. It was great to be out and about though.
Good news - well done Jamie!Quote:

Shouldn't that read "caged goat-ess...." ;)Quote:

Can I join in?..... Today I went from Coldharbour, near Dorking, up Leith hill (965ft), then onto Holmbury hill (857ft) and back again. 1hr 25, and I forgot my water :eek: Had such a nice time I totally forgot about my blister.
If anyone wants to see the delights of the North Downs, then hurry to enter the Surrey Slog (half mara) on 20th July.
Club orienteering event around the ruins in the vicinity of great hill from wood yard near Abbey village about 7 miles.
A 9pm run again tonight 4 mile on the roads in 27 min 30
4m each way to work on singlespeed, weak knee'd and dodgy gutted!
nice 3 mile run around Mossey Lea at 8.00am this morning, made a nice change to run first thing
Session in the rain this evening, which was actually quite refreshing :rolleyes:
4 x 4mins - a double loop with around 1.20 uphill and 40 secs downhill per loop.
4 x 30 secs - extremely steep uphill, which was only just run-able.
2miles warm up and cool down!
3.77 miles around part of The Druid fell race route after watching and photographing the race.
4 miles steady on the canal towpath around Hyde
Had several lazy days after a heavy month, so just had first run this week, a nice easy 4. Could feel things working out of my shins, heavy thighs and shoulders and feeling a lot better and happier for it.

Anice run at Claife Height, Hawkshead with little Val this am and then a steady away run this lunch time aroung the Grasmere fells....managed to stay dry!
7.5 miles and about 2500ft of climbing around bowland fells this evening;)
AM: 7 mile lunchtime run around the canal from Hyde

Resisted the temptation to go to the pub with the lads tonight and sat in doing some work on my foot.
EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 40
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack.
Easy 9 miles mainly canal tow paths, fanastic crystal clear evening good views of west pennines and bowland fells.
