Re: Today's Training

(yesterday)
10 miles path road track and moor from home (N Sheff) to Moscar. Last 2 miles were track filled with crusty snow varying from ankle to arse deep curiously overlaying mud - horrendous.
Caught the last bus on the A57 with a minute to spare flagging it down with headtorch. Inside the it had Welcome to Dublin Buses on it and everything in Gaelic and English. Still it let me off in Sheffield wherever it came from and was going to.

17 miles or so steady mostly off road, injuries are holding so I thought I would concentrate on a bit of stamina building this weeked.

Oakworth Rd, Fell lane, valley bottom to Goose Eye, Millenium Way to Keighley Res and then Ponden Res, round the excellent Silent Ponden race route across Ponden Kirk, Bronte way to Bronte Bridge, Penistone, Haworth, Providence lane and home. Very icey still on tops.

Back on the big hill campaign

14 miles 4,400 ft Leg 3 of BG to just short of Great End before returning to ODG. Lots of snow high up but nothing in the valley. Longer report on BG thread.

Running along side were Kingsnail and Bluebike, would have been off earlier but we had to wait for BB to burn his Porridge.... :D

Fell asleep as soon as I got home,:( so much for Valentines day:o

Re: Today's Training

Trot over to Glossop pub to meet the parents. Lots of compacted snow on Stanage and Kinder, less so on Winhill. The Downfall was frozen solid attracting some intrepid ice climbers. Really impressive stalactites

Dont know distance or climb but took 5 hours and 40 minutes including a rest to chat to Mick Stenton and Roy Gibson on Kinder edge. The worst bit was the mile through Glossop by a country mile!

Just measured it at 25 miles, 2500' climb. Pretty flat if a bit rough in the cloughs. Get up to Kinder ASAP while its in its current amazaing state!

First run in a month due to my chest (all clear now thanks). 4 miles on flat roads. Had to keep stopping - felt like I'd never run before! :(

Hardly worth posting! ....

Sorry to post after you mate, i've done 4 miles before and felt crap, you'll soon be back to your best;)

30.14 miles/4731ft in 6 hours 28 mins. Water Stalls road, near Crow Hill farm was fun, broke the ice with my weight and ended up thigh deep in icy water. From then on it became misty and finding my way over Rishworth Moor to Green Withins res was a bit of an adventure. Visibilty down to 20 yards and ended up in bogland big style. Once back down to Booth Wood res it was plain sailing apart from getting within a mile of home and finding i'd only clocked 25 miles. Forced to do a loop over Norland Moor to add another 5 miles. Finished with a dip in the river whilst eating my last mini pork and pickle pie, and i had 2 marmite teacakes on the way round as well (Just for Al Fowler)

Bloody good run but glad to back home and heading for the bath:)

Saddened me to find yours was the last post when i logged on to the training thread, Jan, like i said, you'll be back to your best soon, you've had a rough time time recently. Legs feel ok after today, did a good job of pacing myself and actually felt better after 20 miles than i did when i set off (Too much Guinness last night, was just gonna have two but..................) Need more of these runs in prep for the Fellsman, just hope i don't pick up an injury!!!
Keep going Jan, and cheers to Al and DT for your comments;)

No, not so bad. Warmer than it initially felt. Just under 4 miles, quite hilly, but all road. Trying to keep my feet as stable as possible while I pick the mileage up again.

Stopped half way round for a few exercises in a park (4x6 pull ups, 4x20 burpees).

Got home, did some weights in the garage. Just back in now: got my breakfast on the go (big bowl of sugar puffs, couple of slices of wholemeal toast + marmalade, couple of pain au chocolates) and the bath running:)

Re: Today's Training

Got back late last night after returning from North East visiting my wife's relatives.
I did manage to escape for a couple of hours though ;) and do part
of the Guisborough Moors fell race route (great fell race by the way - Apr 5).
I finished off with a very slippery ascent/descent of Roseberry Topping
(a hill not a dessert :rolleyes:) then crawled back to my car exhausted.

Got back to the relatives and fell asleep in the chair :D
