Did final three climbs of Full Tour of Pendle today, good weather,decent pace, about 9miles/3000ftish, simple as that.
AM - 20 miles with 5 X Scarfell climbs.
PM - 2 loops of the Bob Grahame with 1 minute recovery between loops.
Legs a little heavy after 1 loop of BG. Tomorrow may be time for a 30 mile recovery run, rest my poor little leggies.
You can obviously run better than you can spell. Scafell and Graham next time please.Quote:

bloomin windy out there :eek::D
Did second half of Edale Skyline today along with TallPaul,starting at mam Nick-Lords Seat-Brown Knoll-Grindslow Knoll-Ringing Roger,then back up to Hollins Cross and over Mam Tor to car.13 miles in total.A good run,but quite boggy out from Lords Seat:eek:
10 miles off road to break in new Roclite 315's after sudden passing of old wave harriers (no wave harriers my size at sportshoes today so took a risk - seem ok so far very supportive, though a bit narrow and not as grippy but that might have been the conditons)
Up Occupation lane to 3 horses, along valley bottom to Goose Eye onto Millenium way up to Keighley Res and moor, across moor to Dog and Gun at Oldfield, down track past Airforce memorial to Oakworth, though Oakworth Park, across Slaymaker over Branshaw golf course and back down Occupation lane. Strong headwind at times and very muddy only 2 minutes off my average time when fit'ish so quite pleased.
Ankle sore but holding.
CycloX race in sheffield today
wet, windy, muddy.....great :D:D
although the course was largely flat it felt like a tough 50 mins of racing
warmed down when i got home with 40 mins of bike cleaning :(
But a karcher - Miles quicker and alot more fun. :DQuote:

If you are looking for stuff to do whilst your injury recovers you could do worse than cycling, if you have a bike but are not happy with how good it is get a turbo trainer than you get practice indoors.
Ive got a decent bike and cycling sounds like a good alternative. I cycle to work (3 times a week. 3 miles there, 3 miles back so its abit of a sprint really.Quote:

I'm chucking in a bit of bike work now as well, I do a 2.5 mile run 3 times a week when I get home from work, its all I can stand on the pavements without my shins playing havoc. I dont know if its poor stretching or something else causing it but I'm hoping adding my work ride in will help. I do the last 10miles in on my bike so thats 40 miles a week, when I was doing this before the clocks went back I could feel the difference after just a week or so. Heres hoping!
Being a newbie on the fells I can do with all the stamina I can muster! :)
Don't forget the brilliant YCCA summer series...coming to a playing field near you soon:DQuote:

Staying in tonight - the truck went skidding on the roads so what chance have I on my two feet? Gonna press on with the gins & tonics!
SNOW! Couldn't resist!! Only my second run of the year and the first one off road. Just a quick up and down Holcombe Hill. All looking quite Christmassy.

4m to work on singlespeed, 4m home in headwind and sleet, nice covering on the roads up Barkisland, finally feel like the man-flu is behind me now:)
Two hour hard track session, on the bike that is :)
Lovely 1:20 run with dog... good snow above 300m including some fun knee deep stuff on backside of Mount Famine.
So far today, just a easy 3 mile commute.
usual 6 miles, had a nice 11 mile trot at bowland on Saturday with the lady friend, great day out.
12 miles today - 2 miles of canal towpath then loads of muddy trails. Due to cross the Pennines on Thursday to do the Witton Weavers Way (32 miles) with a mate but the weather is not looking good:(. Should be able to recover on Saturday with a trip to the Lakes with the missus. This retirement lark is getting really hard work :D
tony, get yer slippers on , sit on front of the fire, and read the paper, maybe the odd round of golf, stop this running stuff, to much at your stage of life:D;)Quote:
