Well driving back to Settle from Durham after a work meeting this morning, I went over the tops from Weardale then Teesdale, then Brough, Kirkby Stephen, Hawes, Ribblehead to Settle. All the fabulously snowy mountains and moors en route inspired me to go out for a run as soon as I got back - an hour out the back door, up to Attermire above the snow line then to the trig on top of Warrendale Knots before scooting back. Terrific.
After my 12 hr Bob Graham round, had a rest day yesterday.
Today -
AM - 2.7 Tours of Pendle
PM - 6 Helvellyn climbs coming back across striding edge in a handstand.
Feel brand new, rearing to go tom.
Yearrrrrrrrrrrr
Marathon des Sables tomorrow morning then?:rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:

9 off-road miles....very muddy
then straight onto Turbo for 15 mins easy spin to cool down
31 minutes of muddy grass (does that make sense ?) at an easy pace, still long enough for mudrocs to cause blisters again :(
[5 miles tonight on the road and muddy grass.:D:D:
looking forward to the weekend for another skyline recce.:eek::eek:
6 miles at lunchtime, sort of round the trunce (lots of muddy grass with 2 inches of wet leaves on top!) and a bit more besides; the river crossings were entertaining.
6 miles with club, flatish road, bit dull. Very tired all way round. 24.5 this week so far may make it to 40 if i am, careful by end of week.
3 this morning and 5 more miles tonight, don't feel jaded this week so eating more carbs has helped, oh and drinking more beer has done me the world of gud! :p
36ish miles at mo, easy week after half last week..
4.5 mile road run tonight still not 100% with the ankle but getting better.
8 flattish miles to work, 5 min break at sandwich shop to load up for my break;)
6.5 miles at lunch time up the canal from Leeds city centre, around the golf course and back. Well muddy in the woods by the golf course and my walshes were crap running downhill on the slick fairways :rolleyes:.
Struggled to be honest what with running quite hard yesterday, having a slightly tight hamstring and all the sliipy ground. And I was running into the wind for the first third (quietly forgetting the tail wind in the last third).
Club session
Hurdle drills (just small ones)
Followed by 6 sets of
600 metres @ 3/5k pace (20 seconds recovery), 200m @ 800/1500m pace (200m brisk jog recovery)
2-18, 42, 2-14, 42, 2-14, 41, 2-14, 40, 2-15, 42, 2-13, 39
Ran controlled with Saturday in mind, had expected to be doing just 4 sets but still not the full 8 for those not doing the Southerns.
Oh and if we are talking about weekly totals, I'm on 44.24 at the moment, with an easy 20-30 minutes witth strides to do today, the Southerns on Saturday and a long run on Sunday that should be up to 80-85 miles.
Rest day today.
Will never get to 80 - just doing 50 - 60 on a regular basis causes my body to fall apart.
Will try to make a it 40 pw and see how it goes from there.
Plan to do 17m combined trog/Stanbury recce tommorrow
2 laps of village. Nice to see Big Compass out too pounding the pavement :D:cool:
5 mile hilly bogtrot to work with a dip in the river at the end, lovely and cold!!!!
Im sure your a fish or an otter....you seem to have a fetish for going in water after a run/race. :DQuote:

13 miles off road.
Penistone Hill CP - Top Withins - on Trog Route to Walshaw Dean, down and along Hardcastle Crags, Along to and up Back'o' Stairs, down Stairs and back to car.
Was planning to do 17 and go along boundary wall at top o'stairs then follow part of Stanbury route but L arch/ankle very sore after 5 miles and felt knackered.
Possibly doing too much too soon eh Brett?
Most of week still felt crap after just have a run around White Holme- seems to be taking a while to get over cold bug/virus that laid me out for over a week just after new year.
Very easy 4 miles on Roads Thurs evening.
Nice and steady 15 miles off road this morning - to see if i will be up to running anglezarke amble in 2 weeks. Did the start and finish chunks of the amble route starting from white coppice to rivington up and over winter hill kept on amble route to the road just above belmont resr then went along track to catherines edge along to hollin hall ruins to the part of amble route that goes up and over great hill down to white coppice. Felt good and my legs did not die on me:) Anglezarke Amble entry form in the post
