Had a wee recce of the Sedbergh Hills race route yesterday morning. First time for me and thought it was a cracker. Legs a bit stiff today so had a 5 mile fast (ish) run down the River Kent and back.

tough race last night
"The Blackden Beast" aka "Not the Olympics Steeple Chase" others had other names for it....
4.2miles 2280ft. approx 25 meters on paths. Crazy descents, "on all 4's" climbs, tussocks, bracken(head high)
A gold for Nobthrob. 1.08 for me I think.
Legs certainly feeling it this morning.
Joined By Luke for his first Dark Peak run.....
19.66 miles and 8216ft, cream crackered. Could not get going at all today, felt like roadkill from start to finish. Fun
Straight out after work for a hilly 5 miler with dog, even did a good deed, t'old lass had got her Suzuki stuck in a ditch, me and another couple got her out:thumbup:
!0 miler, undulating roads, bit of track and fields thrown in along Hadrians Wall Walk route out of Bousteads. Felt good 80 minutes, so I'm recovering well from L50!! :)
couple of nice runs in the hills around ustron/wisla in Southern Poland over the weekend, big steep forested things, nice though...slightly ironically after coping fine in some steep mountain terrain, I went for a run around a park/disused quarry area in the suburbs of Krakow today, and took a nasty slithering fall over some sharp wet rocks while descending into a section of the old quarry, nasty cuts/grazes down one side and arm and ive somehow managed to have 'clicked' my neck and cant move it properly :p
Excellent run above Howden today.
Along duke's road then across to Berrister's Tor. Contoured round to Gravy Clough, then up to the edge and along to High Stones and Margery Hill. Then a bit of navigation practice, across the moors to the footbridge in Oaken Clough and then over Flint Hill and back to the car. A bit over 10 miles and 1400 feet, about 2 hours.
Initial plan was to go from Berrister's to Howden, Back Tor then Emlin but there was a lot of shooting going on so discression proved the best idea in my mind!
2 hours around southern Krakow, taking in the podgorze 'ghetto' ( grievous nazi/jewish history ) and also around the site of Plasow forced labour and concentration camp, a very sobering and solemn run, the site is huge and now essentially overgrown with a network of paths intersecting it, every so often you come across relics of buildings and chimneys that were part of the nazi torture regime, I had to keep stopping to pay my respects and reflect on the attrocities that happened on the very ground I was running on and thank god Im lucky to have the live I do ..... enjoy every moment you can whilst running folks :)
3.5mile 1600ft ascent doing 3 hill reps of Blackstone edge. Cracking lunch time run.
Then a walk this afternoon around March Haigh clough, round res and up March hill with my four pawed companion.
This holiday lark is great in fine weather.
Run 6m to work, 6m home, longest run since L100. Felt good, lost a little toenail, another 4 on my left foot will be gone soon, less weight to carry:thumbup:
