Cracking hour and a bit tonight with the club around Farnhill. Tim Taylors on fine form too in the White Lion :)
I'm a newbie, last night 1hour hill training on the tread mill, people in the Gym think i'm strange :rolleyes: 1 hour weights, no problems felt good, short run tonight. Had a light healthy snack early on, ate my main meal around 21.00hrs found it hard to sleep. Will have to think about food better on a Wednesdays.
Steady 70min potter this afternoon, cool breeze but nice to be out:)
Beta blockers and training don't mix.:(
18 miles on the bike and all the time it felt like there was a governor to stop me revving too high.:mad:
15k mostly road and trail.
Still a bit :cool: out there
Cracking afternoon out, Fairholmes into the Upper Derwent valley, Howden Edge, Outer Edge with some bog hopping over to Margery Hill and the other Howden Edge down to Derwent and Fairholmes for a cuppa tea and some cake
Not a sole to be seen once past Howden Resorvoir and excellent weather
5.3 mile on trails paths tonight first run for 9 days due to all of us being ill. Great to get out tonight in the frost on a lovely clear night.
Ran out from Boltby yesterday to get some hillwork in when a course I was on finished early. I overestimated how much time I had and was in the forest at dusk with snow falling heavily. The map was difficult to read in the gloaming and I didn't have a compass. The going was execrable and I almost started to worry. After a very circuitous route I got to Boltby in the dark, plastered in snow from head to foot wearing only skimpy shorts and a cotton t shirt. Must've looked a weird sight as I sprinted back to the car to get warm.
8 miles 1175' ascent. A memorable adventure as it turned out.
Sounds like a good run out that GD ;) How's that dog of your's? :)Quote:

:D Fantastic. Just the right level of vague and laid back planning that makes solo fell runs so much fun.Quote:

Hill reps on the bike... auch!!! Tough session...
8 miles last night, but going to pummell myself on a 14 mile in bowland tomorrow:D
A lovely 6 miles in glorious sunshine up Hameldon. Great views over to Pendle, Bleasdale and Boulsworth. Looked slightly hazy up in the Dales. A distinct hint of Spring in the air today - roll on some warm sunshine.
sunshine, warm, in this country???:DQuote:

Beautiful afternoon/evening out there....Spring is in the air :)
Easy run tomorrow & Ian Roberts FR on Sunday..
I'll second that. Just took 30mins to find a direct heather bashing way down to the local village off our hill (and back). Lots o' gorse and mud so needed hosing off when I got back. :rolleyes:Quote:

Very easy 4 mile jog today, Ian Roberts FR tomorrow
Couple of hours 'round Stoodly Pike, shotblasted by hailstone and a parking fine after leaving me van near Bird in Hand on Tod road, they did another nine cars an all......always thought you had to be parked on the road for yellow lines to be enforceable.......
Walk to Ell and back, but ran a bit of it. 30 miles/4300ft 5hrs 55mins. Like John Doe got shotblasted by hailstone on Rishworth Moor and had to use all my old army skills to outflank 3 Gandalf Geese that said "You shall not pass" 3 miles from the end, after staying reasonably clean, fell in the biggest bog i could find, headfirst.
Excellent day out, free pie and peas at the end and the Guinness was only £2.40 a pint in the clubhouse where i used to play rugby and had my wedding night do, brought back some memories, not all of em good:D
The wedding or the rugby? :)Quote:

Back to proper training tommorrow
8 miles with sbrt. Circular route from Longnor taking in Chrome hill. Rain and snow - great stuff - a hidden gem.
Both:eek:Quote:

Running for 1hr 45 along the canal in one direction is a bit mind numbingly tedious!
So you didn't achieve a zen state of mind then?:pQuote:

Knees a little sore tonight but i have had work as well so that may be the reason.
May be a good rehab for me - fingers crossed.
Ran over Whernside and and Ingleborough yesterday with a group of clubmates, forumites and friends. We did circa 12ml/ 2500ft and had a grand day out :cool:
nice run saturday from fell foot, to saddle farm, up saddle fell and down to langdale castle ruin. Then over to paddys pole then down via parlic, great run if not wet and windy
A clockwise run up Ingleborough from the bottom of Townhead lane in Austwick. Quite hostile from the top of Little Ingleborough along the ridge and onto the summit - mist, strong cold wind and sparodic heavy hail showers. Patches of ice and snow still lying, especially going up toward the Swine Tail and heading off to pick up the Horton path. Very muddy path back down until the veering off for Crummack track. Heading back into the village the sun was out and there were plenty of blue patches above - what a contrast. Just over 11 miles and around 2,250' of ascent.
Ingleborough twice, well done DT:pQuote:

50 lengths front crawl in the pool.
will try for that longer run tommorro
Tried to run but couldn't.:( Don't think the beta blocker from Thursday's fully out of the system yet. Nice walk(- took 1:17 to get to summit!:o) up Ingleborough... white out conditions ~9:30 with very strong wind. Couldn't move fast enough to keep warm. Discretion is the better part of valour so decided not to attempt the remaining 27miles I had planned! Sun came out when I got back to Ingleton.:rolleyes:
What time were you at the summit Ady?Quote:
