Cycle to and from work, then an easy six tonight. Feel nice.
Club session on "grass"
4 minutes (2 minutes jog back to start recovery)
5 x 75 seconds (60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 90s jog recovery)
8 minutes (2 minutes jog back to start recovery)
5 x 75 seconds (60s, 50s, 40s, 30s jog recovery)
Trained on far side of field due to lack of light (no floodlights tonight), yellow flags were hard to see in the snow.
Ran to and from session
When I was about 15 I tried to get my 12 year old brother in to running. He gave it a go. It only lasted about 2 weeks though.Quote:

Beautiful and a fine easy run :)
A strange days training. Sloped off from work at 3pm as I've got to do some more work later and headed off over the fields about 4pm. Halfway across "the hill" and the daylight gave up, which was a bit of a bugger as it was wet / frozen / muddy, and now dark. Slipped and slid my way back to the road and headed back along the roads, only to find a large area in the midst of a power-cut, so plunged back into darkness again! About 9 miles in total.
4 miles this morning, 8 miles this afternoon
No chance of running today because of ankle injury but did 12km on the bike in the gym in 20 mins plus a good blast on the X Trainer.
Played about in the snow for a bit out of Langcliffe but got snowed in and never made the summit. Felt a lightweight for a few seconds but will make up for it :D
A rare trip to the club tonight - Won the 3 miles handicap time trial:) (though there were only 8 taking part). - warm up and warm down (recovery) meant total of 5.5 miles.
90mins or so in the wet snow around Bradley and Farnhill Pinnacle with club. Taylor's on good form in White Lion :cool:
first running in nearly 3 weeks due to evil flu - 4 miles on the road - felt like the living end!!
3 weeks!! :eek: You have my sympathy ratfink.Quote:

in full flood! At the moment I am coughing up all sorts of rubbish.
If I have a couple more weeks of this without running I will be definitely
climbing the walls:(
No! Man Flu is far worse than flu????
Are you sure it's not "man-ingitis"? :pQuote:

You are absolutely right of course ratfink:(Quote:

11 miles on tarmac today :eek:
7.7miles around Dungworth Last night on a breakaway Warts Run, superb. Thick fog over Rod Moor Trig
55mins lower Chew, great easy easy paced run under a bright moon. Nice and quiet in The Chew tonight, nice to see some chalk dabs on Myles Slab, naye chalk on the finishing holds tho! :)
Alternative to tonight's club session of 2 x 5 x 90 secs (45 secs / 400m jog recovery)
20 minutes warm up
12 x Asda hill (285 metres long - brisk jog down recovery)
10 minutes warm down
Not bad at all for an early morning run, first time I've used head torch in the morning too :)
:mad::mad:
None again daughter still ill:(
Wanted to go out for 5 hours today over Kinder and Bleaklow. Blue sky above cloud below. What a beautiful day. fingers crossed it's like this next Friday.
Short run tonight I guess :(
Sorry to hear that your girl's still poorly Ian! :(
4miles in 32mins on icy flat roads at dusk.
1:17:52hr Greenfield - Alphin - Wimberry - Plantation - Greenfield.
Brilliant almost full moon out tonight, skies orange/red out to the west. Frosty and icy on the moor, precarious descent off Wimberry, almost Spring like in the valley.....Fantastic evenings run :)
Sounds ace Phil, almost perfect conditions out tonight. Sure is bright enough to see.
Anyone training for this? Winter Handicap Tintwistle
Errm, when is it? Where can I find out more? :confused:Quote:

Great early morning run, caught the sunrise as I was dropping out of Dove's Quarry, amazing pink/reddish colouring around The Chew :):)
