Circuit training Yesterday evening

Good run home from work yesterday from Oldham town centre through Lees, Mossley, Carrbrook, up to Higher Swineshaw Res, over to Arnfield, through Tintwistle, Padfield and into Glossop. Approx. 13 miles in 2hrs.
Great little 5.5 mile loop up Hameldon hill. Seemed to fly round, loads of traction from the new 290's which are now softened up and are comfy. just hope the niggle at the very top of my hamstring does not track down and get worse....................:confused:
A great 5 mile loop over the back hills this evening, hampered by me having a dodgy tummy and feeling weak and feint at the top of the main climb. Probably beriberi, diphtheria, yellow fever or lassa fever or maybe a combination of all four but, not one to make a fuss, I bashed on round all the same :rolleyes:.
1st proper K&C headtorch run of the 'winter'. Lovely hour and a quarterish from White Lion Kildwick :)
Nowhere near as great as Ady's & Stolly's runs in terms of terrain but a 6 miler from home with a few hills (and flat towpath bits!!).
just 5 miles road today.
Good 1 1/2 hr run out around Dovestones last night in the end. A disastrous start (was late to meet everyone -sorry! :() but ran up onto the tops and met up later. Small world aroud there....;) Three ascents in all onto the Chew edges. A super night for it.
Just an easy shortish run along the King's Highway at the bottom of Hameldon. Going to have a crack at Witton XC on Saturday if I can drag myself out of bed in time after the night shift so a rest day tommorrow and then some long stuff next week whilst off work.
7.5m commute over Humber bridge for me as the sun came up.
Knee's pretty sore though - ice & ibroprofen tonight, need it sorted for sunday!
1.19.00hr in total ascent upto Ashway Rocks (north side of hill - steep little b**ger)...Thomas Platt Memorial, Doves Edge, Fox Stone and met up with JODG....return via Ashway Gap to Binn Green....Brilliant evening...Quote:

Tues- Total 11 miles 2/3 towpath rest roads and mainly tarmac tracks.
Last night Easy 4 around haslam park and towpaths.
Just going out to do about 6 miles now:D
Only time for a very short 2 mile loosener tonight at 10pm on the roads
Just short of 5 miles around Castleford. Ironically my penultimate weekly visit there (daughter, rugby training which finishes next week) and I finally manage to suss out a great little off road route.
approx 14 miles 2000ft.
A run round the Mickledon Straddle route. The climb up Cut gate was desperate in to a very strong head wind, then went clockwise round the route a much nicer run I think. the Climb up from Slippery Stones was a delight as I hopped from one foot to the other with the wind blowing me up the hill, I've never gone up there so fast;)
Total time 2.27
Met a lady from Denby Dale grinding her way up on the out ward leg and past an older 'runner' heading down to SS wearing trail shoes proper trousers(crease an all) and collared shirt with a black jacket:confused: is this the clothing of the future?
It's compulsary Autumn kit, did you not know?Quote:

Getting a bit envious of those of you who can get straight into the hills tho without much of a drive.
7 miles around the moors above Old Glossop, keep getin lost !, if anyone fancies a run next Saturday around 4.00pm for about an hour PM me, it would me nice to get used to a loop without goin back on myself all the time.
Went up James Thorn last week, to steep for me at the moment !!
Nearly 17 miles on Pendle Hill, mainly full tour route except stayed on perimeter path and missed out the last 2 climbs. Very wet underfoot and felt warm for mid-october. First 50 mile week for a long time;)
5.12 mile on the roads today in fine drizzle felt kanckered today due to only a couple of hours sleep last night.
3 legs of the Man Uni relays. Got wet!
from binn green car park
Alderman-Broadstone-Pots and Pans-Binn Green
Nice steady hours run on a very nice morning
A lot of folk out on Tankys route from Torside up to Bleaklow and Hearn stones on wards - Glossopdale, Saddleworth and Penistone all enjoying the sun!
I managed 3hrs and the going was V good!
