4 hours striming, felt like golf practice!! arms are killing me legs feel like they have been hit by a sledge hammer.. god help me on the 5k tomorrow :confused:
I ran the 3 peaks fell race route this morning on my tod and pb'd it :D; 4 hours 19 start to finish, no stopping the clock to take pictures, all trigs and race checkpoints visited. Two farm dogs jumped me at the farm at Lodge Hall, requiring me to stand still staring them down for 30 seconds and then wander very slowly away while they snarled and growled at me - so I guess I could have knocked another minute or so off too. Nice to pb a race route..... not actually racing.
3hr20mins steady run on Bradford Millenium Way
1 hour. Total crap. Legs got ripped to shreds by stinging nettles and the bits where I wasn't getting stung to pieces I was barely moving. :(
Running shoes on ebay then Dom? :)Quote:

Now off to the pub for gammon, egg & chips plus a beer or two. :)
Saturday--BG Legs all of 3,most of 4 all of 5, about 35 miles in total with around 13,000 ft
Sunday-- recovery run on Blencathra up Sharpe Edge and down Doddick.:)
About 5miles and 2,100ft
Trunce tomorrow:D
I can actually put a training run post on here for once. WOOOOOP!!!!
Preston have a tradition of entering the Gummers How/Howe race so i went up with them to watch and be a reserve just in case.
After staying in Amblesde YHA - god ive got some stories to tell - over night and having a large amount of curry and 'dizzy blonde' ale afterwards, we decided a run was on the books for Sunday.
We where originally going to do Fairfield but out of the 6 of us going for a run, two had done Tebay yesturday and the other three did gummers how so we didnt fancy doing the Horseshoe and time was an issue.
So instead, we set of running from the YHA, ran straight through the town and headed up the climbing roads into Standale and then up to Red Screes.
The decent then down all the way back to Kirkstone Road, along the south ridge was fantastic.
Nice and grassy and you could just let go and enjoy flyind down the fell.
Was a brillaint run, the weather was perfect if a little humid and it was one of those runs that makes you just fall in love with fell running all over again.
No idea how much climb, no idea oh far we ran. It took us 2hrs 20 but we werent in any hurry and we stopped lots and lots of times to talk as you do.
Simply brilliant.
I may even have to re-visit it one day via the bus....all i need to do though is find somehwhere to leave my bag whilst running.
Good stuff Al - let's hope 'Fowler's Knee' is soon history and you're posting regularly here now :cool:
So do i DT, so do it.Quote:

They where pretty good during the actual run but hurt abit on the decents - mainly because i was decending like a looney (really disengaged brain and went for it;)).
Im going to go for a training run with the harriers on tuesday so ill have to see how my knees have recovered from today by then.
But its progress i guess.
Further progress is that im not confident i can complete Kentmere in july.:)
7 mile on the roads this afternoon.
You can use the Trunce as a rest run. And don't forget me beer! :rolleyes:Quote:
