One legged weighted squats when I got home, followed by loads of stretching, an ice bandage on my knee.
And so far no problems. Touch wood.
7 miles over Moel Gamelin this morning covering around 3000ft of ascent. First good fell run in a long while and boy did I feel it. Lovey sunny morning over Llangollen.
2 mile bike ride, wharmton dash, 2 mile back ride home.
A couple of hours over Beamsley Beacon and Round Hill area. Wonderful to be out with just the curlews, meadow pipits and golden plover for company :cool:
had a horrrible run yesterday heyfever hit me quite badly, managed 2 miles before i was wheezing and sneezing.. now i am just sniffling..
:mad:
wonder if i can recover for the horwich tour and buckden pike! :mad:
:mad:
:mad:
An hour last night in just me shorts (no other kit! :D) as a sort of recovery from Saturday. Couldn't get to either Kinder Trog or Wharmton this weekend, c'est la vie. :o
did a lot of weights in the gym yesterday feeling it today, need to get a clock for the sauna 50 minutes oven roasted bird shame it only did one side:confused:
Just nipping out for 30-40mins or so of speedy pace on the flat (for a bit o' variety). Couldn't get the to the DP summer league race this evening (too bloomin' far!), sure IDP will post the details later on tonight. :p
Maybe 15 or 16 miles on Saturday up Whernside from Ingleton, across to Ingleborough and back down, circa 8 yesterday up over Smearsett Scar and back via Moughton to Helwith Bridge and perhaps as many as three tonight up and down the hill out back :).
Good race with lightning flash all around. felt pretty good but made a dire route choice which dumped me well back with all the other runners in the distace when we came back:(. absolutely caned in the second half and caught 5 other runners.Quote:

Glad it'll be more local next time, a bit too far for me to get over after work. See you on Wed at Rowlee hopefully! :)
with the BG this weekend I'll be racing at Oughtibridge instead on Wednesday.Quote:

As before, 10 min warm up, 3x 3 min jog/2 min walk, 10 min walk home again, then loads of stretching and remedial leg exercises. Hell of a job trying to hold my pace back on the jogs.
A slight tenderness around my knee, but putting that down to just getting used to the running again. Got an ice bandage on again now.
what happeded to the Stones:confused::)Quote:

20 mins hill climb on treadmill at a slower pace than 10 weeks ago..but felt good..building some lost leg strength back
then into gym for some all-over strength work
easy run tomorrow to start and build some fitness back
and before you know it....'I'll be back' said in the accent of the governor of california :D
there's no place called slippery stones up here...that im aware of..thus the new name reflects the area that i am living in now and pays homage (in a way) to the song at the end of (one of) my favorite filmsQuote:

Still oh so slow tho and walked for 2 minutes. It is hard work starting from scratch! :(
Everything feels ok though so will start upping the distance maybe in two more weeks. I think it will be a while before I dare venture back out into the great outdoors...besides the gym has a creche! :cool:
Oi you!! None of this waiting until you are fit before you start racing, I want to beat you:DQuote:

DP club race tonight, "Crookstone Crashout". Up from Rowlee Bridge, touch Blackden Trig, down to Edale YH, back up and over, descending via Crookstone Knoll. 4 and a bit miles, ~1800ft.
Finished in 1h 9m, rain had stopped just before the start. A magic evening! :)
Missed this DP classic for a short sharp blast at Oughtibridge ChaseQuote:

Lots of penistone runners as this was a club champs.
Came 10th race was won by Nick Swift
5 mile on Pex Hill tonight after the heavy rain
Another session like this. Bit tedious, but ploughing on. Felt quite good today. Might risk a 10miler in the hills at the weekend.Quote:
