I did 3 mile power walk today (from work and then home again) then with a 1 mile run/1 mile power walk, so although i am probably the most unfit on here, i am very slowly getting there, and my speed is getting better, which i am pleased about.
Going to do more emulsioning this weekend, up and down the ladders generally hurt more than running on the tarmac.
Not ready for racing just yet, but i am very much enjoying getting fitter. Especially the thought of a new wardrobe of clothes! As my clothes are tooooo big at the moment!!!
Ran 90mins this afternoon. First to postbox to post my Howarth Hobble entry; then Beamsley Beacon, over to Round Hill, down the main descent in the Round Hill race then over the moor and down home the way the BOFRA race goes up. Blooming brilliant to be out with just the Swaledales and Grouse for company :):cool:
Day off. Some stretching.
last sat 24.5 miles anglezarke amble about 4.5hrs
Tues 6.5miles on roads-good pace for 5 then leg tiredness hit.
Wed 6.5 miles on fells after work dropped down into sunny hurst woods to make the most of the climb up to Darwen Tower over Darwin Moor and coming back down thro Tockhole woods to finish at fisherman layby just over the 1hr.
Thurs & today-rest.
10.3 mile around Pex Hill and Sutton Manor yesterday afternoon.
Well i am suppose to have a day off but i have an urge to run, how strange! i must have caught the bug!
So my exercise today, is going to be housework and emulsioning...
56:30min lower Chew...20 mins of which was tempo....Glad to have finally got rid of that chest infection....:)
This morning 16 miles over west pennines moors-steady about 2hrs 50mins. Start at Fishermans layby(just south of abbey village) south as far as entwistle resr, round pass pub tracks and paths to Darwen Tower all into headwind, drop down into tockholes woods and back to fishermans.
6.8 mile today on road and trail paths around Pex Hill and Cronton
Luck you Dave, Havent done any runner for the last 3weeks, off sick " virual illness" feeling cold, hot no energy, a sleepy ebery time. And its yesterday and today i FEEL BETTER.
Cant wait to go back on the road for the first couple of weeks and the bike and then on the fell, mountains of snowdonia, training for the Snowdon race. Im determined not to over train on snowdon this year, use the other mountains for training the hill reps on grass. Any tips, plan etc how to get back into it? Did 10K in Jan 09, 48mins........then went down with the illness.
Cheers

Know the feeling well Steve of not being able to run. I went over on my ankle on an early morning run on New Years day that put me out for three weeks more or less. Thankfully been running pretty well for the last 4 weeks including the Nick Beer 10k the other week.Quote:

Thinking of doing the 5m pipe line race in Dolgarrog 7 march (fell) and Moel Wnion, Bethesda on the 14 mARCH (fell) and some of the others, especially the tuesdaynight series we have here in Eryri. Thinking of starting back this week, on the bike and as you said gradually increase mileage, 3miles, 5miles etc......I can do the distance, endurnace, its just up hill Im awful, Im ok coming down, as well as this its all in the mind, theres somebody in my head saying stop and someon else saying carry on.......I'll have to beat thisQuote:

Steep climbing then on to Coldwell Spring again a first as was Hoar clough Spring ( any one worked out the theme of todays run yet) Up to Sheperds and then direct to Barrow and Grinah where I met the first 2 people of the day one was Barry 440, I took them up to the Source of the Derwent sign and one of the L T Plants from there dropped to lower small clough and dinner in the Cabin, after signing in continued down to pick up the track. Followed this down until Broadhead clough then across to Bull Stones Spring. back to OE and returned via route out.
Very rough underfoot and my shins are now very sore (reminder to myself don't wear ankle socks and shorts on long heather bashing trips:rolleyes:)
for the record 17.8 miles 3,700ft 5 hours 15
