Nice 20min road blast to stretch the legs after Ian Roberts race yesterday. Feel A OK. :)
4.80 miles of hill work on Pex Hill tonight after yesterday poor showing in the Roddlesworth roller race felt much better tonight.
Super run in the Wolds 9.5 miles 1250 ft ascent. Wild and free. Some short hard climbs and one very long grind. Perfect running country.
Yesterday:
121 press-ups
74 sit-up/crunches
11 pull-ups
All as part of the various challenges along with various leg stretches as I continue to try to fix my knee.
Arms very sore. Was looking ripped immediately afterwards. However, by the time I got into me jammies, my muscles had all relaxed and I was back to normal!:(:rolleyes:
4m road to work, 5m off road home, stunning weather, ran in T-Shirt and shorts:eek:
15 miles 2800ft
Set off from langsett, hit the clag quite quickly up cutgate, turned left and reversed HPM until iI could run down Abbey Brook. Back up along the reservoirs which were in full and overflowing (very impressive) over took a NT landrover heading up the track!! a quick hill rep up Long Edge before dropping back Cranberry Clough and straight up otherside to Bull Rock spring and then outer edge befor a direct route back home.
Finished in Sunshine.
Are your legs not stiff?Quote:

I don't think I ran as hard as you in the race though Iain, I did a few miles Sunday to loosen up and then swam 50 lengths yesterday.Quote:

Yesterday a 21 miler on road,sand,trail and grass at a descent pace preparing for London(got a place) or preferably the 3 peaks (on the reserve list but going to defer London to 2010 if get in)Fingers crossed!:)
13 miles/2100' over round the moors of Rossendale. Quite enjoyable, not a bad pace, probably my favourite run from my front gate.
Last night 32mins up 'n' down the hills and fields around home. This morning 34mins quick blast on roads in the sunshine. Aiming for longer tomorrow night. :rolleyes:
Sat- about 9miles and 3000ft of climbing over bowland fells-last climb was on less visited east side of parlick- just south of the col, one of the steepish climbs in bowland. First hour seemed to sweated out the remains of slight virus I had and then seemed to felt stronger on each climb I did. Also just finished the run as weather turned nasty.
Last night 7.5 miles over great hill. Fantastic early evening for running. Coming over Brinscall Moor had a view of Darwen Tower with a large brilliant moon directly behind-possible the largest I have seen the moon looked:D
Now plenty of rest till wurthering hike on saturday.
Tonight:
140 press ups
84 sit ups
34.5 pull ups
Bit over an hour with club this evening off-road with headtorches. First half felt shocking; second half ran well (for me). That's it now until the Hobble on Saturday :)
Think we'll revert to Haworth Hobble next year
Waddya think?

5 mile recovery run, walked the ups, ran the flat and down, speed burst in the middle, probably about 20min/mile pace:D
My training partner decided he'd rather play out with his mates, just as well watching him run round like a madman with em, he'd have beasted me.
Nice dip in the river at the end, legs feel great now:cool:
7.3 mile along the Wirral promenade today including a 5k race.
Yesterday first thing, 4 hill reps (total 2500 ft) up to Ashway from the Dovestones res. Bloomin' hard work that at 8am. :( Oh, and bumped into Manhar who I hadn't seen since Mickleden. :p
just under 20 miles very hilly bike ride.Quote:

You were looking ridiculously fresh doing those reps Jodg - it's a good spot for hill reps although my Garmin records 3 reps to = 2400 ft :confused:Quote:
