Nice 'n' easy 10k to try and undo all kinds of knots and niggles left over from a day's labour with local tree surgeon (am treating the labour as 9 hr strength training session which I got paid for! Now that's what I call winning!)
Having talked nowt but hills for last week or so, chose my flattest route - only 1200ft ascending - in an effort to be nice to myself!:rolleyes:
Wild, wet and windy - my favourite kind of weather: more or less guarantees I've got the place to myself :wink:
17k around Kendal, over the Helm and round to Scout Scar... feeling pretty trashed after a few hours round Dovedale and Caudale Moor on Saturday. Lots of time fannying around with the map trying to stick to poorly signed footpaths through farmers' fields and my first chasing from some cows. They're suprisingly brisk once they get going.
A nice 6 miler up and down Wessenden Valley. Will have to take headtorch next time! 940 ft up and downs in 57 mins.
Speedwork today, 12 * 500m reps at 6% faster than my 10k pace, good workout.
Club run last night 10k, good run
6.5m 1220ft Monday, solo headtorch on the local hill. First time I've ever seen anyone up there at night when I bumped into an MTB'er. Proper fun little run out.
6.3m 1600ft Club run last night
Already looking forward to a long run out in the Highlands this weekend. So many hills so little time!!
Need to start puting my training back on here it's good to look back, so here go's-
Mon- 13.54 mile, 1,626 climb, to Pendle and back on road/trail
Tue- 7.5 mile, 650 climb, Burnley lions 10k loop in Colne then back home!
So far so good, may go out with headtorch on tonight. :)
5 mile 800ft round ogden golf club area on my way home from work. Never run that area before so had to do a bit of map reading and really enjoyed it.
Map???? Couldn't you just follow the flags???? :thumbup:Quote:
