Tryin' to keep fit (not fat) over festive period. 40mins solo speed session with some hill reps.
Merry Christmas y'all! :):D
Managed to get an hour in today. Up Weets, dropped off for a steep descent and climb, just steady away, 1200" of climb not many miles really. Still got a sore foot, going to have to get a physio to look at it. Later got a few hours walking in the summer sunshine with the family. :)
Nothing for the last few days, and much reduced over the last week due to festive season......so today's club (social) handicap blast over 4.5 miles of trail running should be just the ticket :D
back in to it from tomorrow ;)
Out for a gentle run today after yesterdays session-from my house up through ashworth valley to belmont road. Then up the ramp to winter hill summit and join the short belmont race route to georges lane. Round to the Pike and then a bit of a slog across the moor to the trig point again,before dropping back down to my house via asworth valley again.
Longest run in weeks (13 miles ish?) and today im bloody knackered-no IT band probs though,so im a happy man!:)

Well done to Willy who hung on to the front group all the way, he's only been running 18 months I think and his longest run to date was 19 miles:eek: he was smiling as he hobbled to the car but I think we may have broken him:o
He'll be a very sore Willy in the morning ;)
:D I'll set them up and you fire out the punch line....Boom Boom:D:DQuote:

Sounds and looks like and ace run tho Ian, very much one of my targets for 2009 :-)
Along with perhaps drinking slightly less Gin ;-)
5 miles today round the festive 5 race at wythenshawe park ;)
well done everyone that raced :)
8am social run, start at Crowden cp, up the PW to Black Hill. Back via Tanky's route. Sunshine, icy underfoot and nippy out. Cracking run gromit! :D
Congrats Ian! I struggle to get a pass out for 1.45 so well done! :eek:Quote:

Total of 8.79 miles taking in the NOR 60 minute score event (orienteering)
Two and half hours on Ilkley Moor with g/f including a decent chunk of the Rombald's Stride route. Finished off by climbing Keighley Gate from Ilkley side :cool:
20 mins warm up then 38 06 mins running flat out on the Ribble 10k. Hurt a lot and showed up my lack of speed and excess body weight. Feel a new years resolution coming on!:)
aw that's sweet....Quote:

1:03:16hr..Alphin to Wimberry...Set off just as the sun was setting, mega colours....From Alphin to Wimberry was amazing, running into the night yet the ground being back lit from the fading light behind me to the west...North easterly bringing in the chill at speed, headtorch on at Wimberry, descent to Plantation and back home for a fine Pinot Grigrio :)..Great run :)
Sounds like you're back on form Phil. Was sharp out, wasn't it? Woods Navy rum & coke for me tonight!
Cup of tea here :eek:
!!! :D
"Hoping for a far more successful 2009"? Not half! :)
45 mins from home -first run in the Kanadias.
Can't be worse tbh jodg ;)
A fairly brisk 4.36 miles this morning.
10K flat-ish this morning on forest trails with doggy
kept HR to less than 80% max in general so as to kick start the removal of beer that has accumulated in the body over the festive period :D
18.61m/3350ft 3h36m28s.
Picked Calderdale way up in Ripponden and followed it to Lumbutts, going astray down into Cragg Vale, where i said hi to Clash City Rocker and mate on MTB's.
From Lumbutts, back along London Road then up to Stoodley Pike and down to Withens Clough and back home the same way. Chilly on the tops, but clear views all round. Took it steady on the way out then hammered it from Soyland Town to Ripponden.
1m cool down with kids, bath now:)
Nowt so epic as Merry.... 4miles steady on flatish roads in the twilight. 32mins so no great shakes there! :(
