Sunday - a 11 mile run around Gisburn forest, includng a visit to Whelpstone Crag trig. Jesus that place is fast becoming a mountain bike mecca with loads of 'em whizzing around - they have so upgraded all the mountain bike trails there; really really good.
Saturday hills and flat out decents..
Sunday should have been 1 hour lost track of time and where i was going, 2 hours trotting down the canal.. intresting run, to say the least..:o
Getting in some much needed speedwork. 15*2mins at around the 5:45 minute mile pace on the track. And then a jog back home 1km. A nice change from the fell
Trunce 6 tonight for me. Tired legs but just managed sub 30mins (29:51) so am happy with that. 30 mins is the benchmark! :p
same for me also. managed to just pip jodg on the trunce for the first time this year 29.26:oQuote:

Sedbergh today.
From the village , on to Winder and skirt around the fell to the West and up to the summit - then and out and back to Arant Haw, descent of Winder and back around again.
Just missed the rain, but it was a darn sight nippier up top than down the bottom.
40min steady run on the Dales Way. My calfs feel tight, my knees are sore and I didn't enjoy it tbh :(
More like tonghts training. The Edges a toughish club handicap. From dovestones upto indians head. Follow the edges to Chew and the around to Foxstone (the descent on ravenstones). Then the nice steep ankle breaking descent back to the sailing club. Hoping for good points ahead of widdop
Tonights club run was from fell foot.
Set off towards parlick and contoured around for a hell of a long way and then climbed up at the last minute about 100 meters before the gate (CP1 for Fiensdale).
Then followed the path round right through the now very grassy track following the F'dale route to a lovely spongy muddy track cut through the bracken down to a stoney track.
Then left up the stoney track climbing and climbing and climbing on and on and on. Here the rain started and its didnt half pour. We got to the top and followed the trod through the heather and eventually made our way along the now river of a path to Paddys Pole.
Ive never run in such hard rain but i really enjoyed it if im honest....especially running through every single puddle. The followed the path along the tops to Parlick summit and then down back to the cars.
Lovely birthday run - knees hurt abit though.:(
Nice one Al. Hope you had a great b'day! :)Quote:

Arguably the last such mid-week jaunt in the locality as move to new shed imminent.
Piglet................it's all yours now!
A breezy run through chest high bracked and knee deep streams with the odd bit of peat bog and the rare bit of track.;) very slippy with the streams in flood.Quote:

Very tough going. Met up with Piglit to deliver beer:D
54.12mins at a nice easy pace in monsoon conditions in the lower Chew Valley. Nice run :)
Nice run upto Featherbed Moss trig. Very wet though. Around 1hr 10
A very flat:eek:8 miles along the seafront along the Yorkshire coast
Did the Crowden Horseshoe more or less. Went to find one of the Dark Peak Wrecks (not IDP). It is certainly spread out over quite an area.
Super morning out, odd bit of drizzle now and again but thoroughly enjoyed it.:)
I should hope not.Quote:

4 Mile last night around Pex Hill followed by A nice 3.4 mile along the country lanes this morning in 22 mins.
Look at you, Capt. Trivia! :eek: Aye, was over there with IDP this time last year. We also visited a Liberator wreck on the E side of Holme Moss. Came across Cloudberry plants too if I seem to remember. Wet out then, same as this year.Quote:
