Today's Training

After months of running other ‘to do’ routes, finally got up Rye Loaf Hill today. Setting off in the clag, down Watery Lane, up to Peart Crags and onto the Pennine Bridleway.
Then up New Pasture Lane, Langber Lane to Brookilber Barn, from here across High Langber to Ebor Gate.
At Ebor Gate the clag started to lift, and after following the wall up past the mast to the top of Rye Loaf Hill, we were in bright clear sunshine with an inversion giving us a spectacular view over rolling cloud to Penyghent and Ingleborough . Then we set off across the deep tussocks to Kirkby Fell, had a look at the old quarrying, and dropped down onto the Settle Loop to have a look at the (rather underwhelming) Nappa Cross. We set off back along Settle Loop past Stockdale Farm, Attermire Scar, Middle High Hill, Banks Lane and home.

13.74 miles and 2375ft climb, most of the distance was spent cursing the fact that I’d left my camera at home.

Staurday 10k along the Dalesway from Addingham to Bolton Bridge

5K aerobic running last night on roads

race 6 of the monday night series, 6 miles and 1100ft road in 39.55

6 miles up and down the Wessenden Valley with the headtorch. 750 ft ups and downs in 55 mins. It was clear and the sky was full of stars. Nice.

Snowdon race route, 2hrs 2 mins, but I started further up Victoria terrace rather than The Victoria hotel. First ever time I've ran in the real mountains as well, albeit a well trodden path.Loved it.

12k club run, good but hard very hilly going down into Baildon and then back up Hollins Hill to the club house.

Great run last night with the guerilla Warts, can't say too much as it's with clandestine running group:)

But loads of climbing over rough ground under head torch round bleaklow...shhhh

Couple of hours bouldering at an indoor climbing centre, bloody great fun:thumbup:

Mountain biking most of the week as on night's , but did some tough hill training with my oldest lad
