yesterday's run was cut from 6 to 4 miles after the route i took went through some deep snow and ate into my available time...good fun though
11 steady-ish hilly miles on road first thing today..some very icy..then straight onto turbo for 30 mins 2 x ramped effort + 1 x 5 mins constant effort then warm down...total time...not telling :D:D
some one took the easy option then....:rolleyes:Quote:

8 miles 2,000ft of steep snow covered heather over open moor land. it was so hard, i was near the back but It mush have been really tough for the guys at the front who had to break trail.
Snow depth varied from shin deep to waist deep if you were unlucky. some scary descents
thought it would be a good idea to go playing in the snow,went up to wimberry and over to alphin from my house,just over 11 miles,but by eck the snow slowed me down,deep drifts up on the top,felt like captain scott,cant really be described as a run,more of walk,tumble,fall over,knackerd now though
Tuesday 7.5 miles on road
wed-fri rest
Today 16.5 miles over west pennines moors-bit of snow that smoothed out most of the tracks to give good running. Most of the time had a blue window in the clouds directly over head. Good views to the snowy hills to the east and south.:D
12 miles at 7am, 5 miles at 2pm straight after a 2k swim.
4.3 mile treadmill run again this morning making the most of my 12 day JJB pass.
Ahem... it certainly didn't feel like it yesterday afternoon :)Quote:

Slow gentle 3.4mi road run on some hilly roads, just easing my knee back into things.
Halfway round had a great 'ninja' workout at a park: 80 burpees before a steep hill climb ain't the best idea I've ever had! :eek:
Nutter!Quote:

Here's hoping the snow's still about next weekend!
After yesterday's Wadsworth trot, a gentle amble up here, plenty of snow and ice. Busy around the edge of the plateau, but very quiet up the river.
Just 14.5 miles this morning, managed to twing left ankle and also felt in hip and buttock. So cut it short would have done about 20 otherwise.
7.5 miles today around the Great Orme including the Nick Beer 10k Race.
1st counter for your club Pinno.. well done !, see oxo cube made a rare outing off i guess not much training and came 2nd.... a lot of talent not used comes to mind !Quote:

Enjoyed the run but felt I should have done much better. After the three week lay off in January through injury though quite pleased with the run. Will look for a more 10ks over the next month or two. Hopefully see some progress.:)Quote:

Andy I was climbing on the Northern edges of Bleaklow. Loads of snow as well, dug a snow hole for practice, We saw some fresh Montrail prints which we thought they might be Plumbums who we knew was in the area.Quote:

6 mile hilly road race
Ran much better than of late but still trail my usual group. Did well on the big climb. The race made more fun by the snow that was falling.
Slippery came in first despite telling everyone how tired he was:rolleyes:
Well done Darren a series win looks in the offing.
Enjoyed last night, especially the big hillQuote:

Had thought about coming along to this but couldn't have got out the drive in the evening as it'd been snowing since about 4pm. Hope to see you on next Monday for race 10....Quote:

Headtorch run on mainly unlit road and tracks for an hour.
Full moon helped visibility quite a bit but stayed away from "The Slaughtered Lamb" just in case:eek:
