10k XC route...hard (for me any way)
XC season starts up here in 3 weeks...cant wait :D
got train from bamford to edale and ran back via ringing roger and win hill - absolutely jiggered (i blame the hoegarden).
does anyone know why ringing roger is called ringing roger? (please feel free to make up answers)
ps slippery stones you doing graves park CX?
I believe it is to do with the way the wind blows through the rocks up thereQuote:

First run since going over on ankle 10days ago. 45mins or so in Strid Woods :)
I've done some more running today! Just 50 minutes over the local hill and moors - it's all coming back to me.
Nice early run (07-45) over Arthurs seat here in, now raining, Edinburgh :(
great..only saw a couple of other folks..so largely had the place to myself :D:D
First of Nicky's winter series last night. Just over 6m from Bolsterstone. Pipped to the post by Mr Bell, he flew past on the last 1/2mile uphill stretch. 44m 21s for me, a good 6mins quicker than the same race last winter.
Some progress there.... :rolleyes:
Ran up to Bolton Abbey and back along the river, perhaps 7miles. Saw a kingfisher so pleased I went out :cool:
How lovely! :)Quote:

Tried to do the route of the long mynd valleys race yesturday . Its a winter race and when I tried to run it yesturday the route was all over run with braken so it took me more than an hour longer than when I did the race in Feb . FOUR hours ! By the time I'd got back I was in a mess . I really sruggled to muster the energy to go to the pub :D
Full on total body circuit in the hotel gym before breakfast.Quote:

Skipton Bowl road run with club mates followed by light recovery session in Narrowboat; marvellous :cool:
15K Off road in parkland/forrestry
Get this -left home in glorious sunshine and clear blue sky this morning. Set off for Holme (20mins away) and as I got nearer I could see Holme Moss and surrounding hills shrouded in cloud. Did my 3hr run (based on Crowden loop with variations) in perpetual fog, not a hint of sun or it clearing. Set off for home in the car and after 10mins was back in the sun. Bloomin' marvellous! :mad:

Did my 1st longer run above Dovestones & likewise on the ridge visibilty wasn't up to much - quite atmospheric tho' & good to be out in them thar hills for the 1st time in 6 months.

does 25 min in round meersbrook park with the dog count? i'm recovering from the stress of supporting the three peaks cyclocross.
Yes! Mrs tells me supporting the 3ppp's cyclocross is harder than doing it, she's never done it, but by the same token, i've never supported it, so she may be right;)Quote:

block 2: hill reps - cyclist carries bike, supporter carries spare wheels, spare bike,drinks and gels
Yesterday - Snake road summit to Crowden via Wild Boar Cough, then up to Black Hill and back to Snake summit via Tanky's route. 21.5 miles and 3,700 ft ascent with my OMM partner.
I've done both - supporting is colderQuote:
