It climbs an old narrow gauge track which was built to aid the construction of a hilltop reservoir. Clearly you need to get the big climbs in for a round but for a strength session and a good way of knocking out 2000' in a short midweek session, it's a real winner and quite a unique workout.
7 next week.....
Warm up, 8 x 3mins hard effort with 1 min jog recovery, 8 x 15 secs hill, warm down Its freezing outside!
Just done 12.5 mile on the roads in temperatures that felt like -10 defo a big wind chill factor today, can't remember feeling so cold whilst out running particularly the last few miles through the country lanes.
I am. I live 3 miles so it's local for me as well and I've run it the past 4 years. Still get a s**t time though that never fluctuates more than +/- 10 mins past 2h 20m! :(Quote:

1:10:50hr, Alphin to Wimberry, beautiful evening/night. Great light conditions up top, with the peat being white with frost and a light grey coloured mist......lighter up top than in the valley which was pitch black....headtorch on at Wimberry and back home....Nice run :)
First session for ages,10 mins easy, 6 mins Tempo,3x3 Mins hard,6 mins tempo all with 2 mins jog recovery,10 mins easy, hopefully a lot more to come...... now for lie down in a dark corner :rolleyes:
300m reps tonight on the grass at the club :)
ground was rock hard :eek:
oh well ready for ALS tomorrow now :D
No doubt better than a slippery track though !!
Last night club session 11.6 miles all told including 24 x 200m as paarlaufs with 70m jog across a very hard and bumpy infield.
Easy 5.7 miles to keep legs ticking over for tomorrow's 10k
Just been up and down Great Hill from Brinscall - 6 miles - half way up, emerged from the fog in to Blue Sky and sunshine - fantastic.
It was showing -5C on my temp gauge in the car - there was a guy at the top walking his dog with just a T shirt on:eek:
Views were super though. Across to Saddleworth Moor area, Darwen Tower was clear, just about the top of Pendle and Ingleborough - all peeping out of the sea of fog.
sunday 10miles nice troot on pendle, laces frozen again! very cold with wind chill.....
monday 30 minutes including 6x hill sprints
Monday steady 5 on pendle but no wind chill, still rock hard underfoot and laces frozen again..
tuesday 5 miles 40 minutes steady running
Wednesday 1 hour steady running..
no race on thursday :)
I bet he was still cold ;)Quote:

Brilliant day out
Got an early dart from work, so got a full run in daylight :)
1:04:20hr. Greenfield - Plantation - Wimberry - Alphin - Greenfield.
A great little run, saw a couple of other runners out, fantastic inversion in The Chew looking out from Wimberry, sunny ont'tops...View from Alphin was also quite spectacular, as far as you could see an inversion, just Winter Hill mast and the hills of Derbyshire poking up through the cloud.
All in all an excellent run :)
Did a hilly 8 miler at 12.30 today - up to Walshaw/4 crosses/roading brook rd/rose & crown/back down to radcliffe. got home and there was frost on the hairs on my legs. shorts, gloves, helly hansen and jacket on. could've done with a hat on as well but enjoyed it. foggy too and I ran after the light snow fall. Great stuff.
Here's to renewed training to back up the runs I've done over the break from work. All the best to everyone on the Training Page! :cool::cool:
Indeed it was Mr Slippery Stone! Top day with amazing views!! Btw; did you eat ALL that fruit loaf...I never had a piece either!Quote:

Anyway, did an hour with just a couple of hard efforts thrown in, I m still a bit stiff from races on Sunday:)
Hey Tubber, sorry to hear about the injury mate...If you need a second opinion/further physio advice PM me, as I use a fantastic physio over in sunny Rochdale....Quote:

enjoyed it even if it was further than advertised :rolleyes:
