Quick thrash round Strid Woods this evening c4.5miles
Horwich Downhill race last night.
Scotsmans Stud, touch Rivi Pike and then make your own way down the Horwich RMI club.
Cracking little low-key race!
Didnt have a clue where to go, ended up waiting till Mick Green passed me and then followed him on a mystery tour of the backstreets of Horwich.
Nothing monday - long day at work.
6 mixed terrain miles with club last night, cut run short as 3 px caught up with me, kept a good pace though.
Club pub run tonight
Spent about 14 hours yesterday clearing my dad's house out. Lots of lifting and stacking of boxes - good for lower back development... :(
Sit-ups-Pressups-Squats this morning.
Swimming this dinner time.
Sprints this tea time.
A run up the Wrekin down the other side and back again 1600ft ish and about 6 miles .
Nice
Nice run out from Haworth with club over Penistone Hill, to Bronte Waterfalls and back, largely headtorch assisted :cool:
Just had an easy 45mins on the roads last night, should do me until G&BI on Sat now. See you there DT! :pQuote:

very autumnal cold clear. ground is still very dry
Pen-Y-Ghent, Plover Hill, Foxup Moor & Horton Scar from Horton-In-Ribblesdale. Quite a number of mid week walkers out - even saw 2 over the peat bog that is Plover Hill, a very rare sight. The short but steep zig zag path off Plover Hill was pretty much blocked with large rocks strewn all over, at 1st I thought there had been a rock slide until I realised the rocks were not limestone. Looks like they have been brought in to create a 'proper' path which seems odd for such an out of the way route :confused:
Yesterday
2 x 1200 m steady warm up on grass...increasing pace
6 x 650 m undulating on grass, 1 min recovery keeping each to within a couple of seconds
1200 m warm down
this morning 40 min (30 pace tempo) run in the gale force wind
10 miles across the muddy fields for me on friday night.
Got chased by 30 bullocks, and then nearly got flattened by a horse protecting its foal.:rolleyes:
what were you trying to do to it's foal Al:confused::pQuote:

I'll be walking like max wall tomorrow.
2nd of Nicky's local winter runs from Bolsterstone. A hilly 7 1/2miles, 1100ft. Tough going after Saturday's exertions... :(
Yes a cracking run, the longest and hilliest of the series. great fun and a proper hard session.:DQuote:

Supposed to meet up with the other guys from Clem but late to the start. Headed up Pendle on my own hoping to cross paths by looking out for the flashes of other headtorches. Didn't happen so took meself off for a little trot.
Very eerie up on the hill alone in the mist, rain and dark. But absolutely loved it. Run was virtually dead on 10k with 1200ft of climb. Done in c1h30. Amazing how much slower it is with no depth perception!:rolleyes:
In the pub after, sounds like we weren't too far away from each other. Never mind.

Bleaklow!! yes Tanky's is getting nearer and there's talk of the High Peak Marathon again.
From the Longdendale carpark up Stable clough for a change and on to Bleaklow summit via open country. very hard going but we came across a couple of ground monitoring stations checking waterflow and erosion.
Across to Bleaklow stones and then followed HPM route before heading out to Grinah stones and down to Ronksley cabin where we sat down and ate in comfort. signed in and then moved on to Coldwell spring, up to Hoarstone through thigh deep heather before picking up Howden edge which was soooooo much wetter than last week end. strong wind deep heather and boggy terrain had finally wore me down so followed G&B route to lady cross and down longdendale back to car.
14 miles 2000ft but felt longer than that:rolleyes::D
oh yes, and on todays run I found a GPS:eek: and some cycling glasses.Quote:

Anniversary Waltz recce this morning. Parked at Stair village Hall and, as usual, the Met Office got it totally wrong - predicted heavy rain, yet the day was great, dry, autumnal and really good visibility. Wish i could have said the same about the running. I'm no racer (clearly) but I couldn't resist checking out the times for this year's race and had them in my mind all the way around. As a result i pushed myself until i felt nauseous, but my time was still cr*p (2 hours 51 mins.). I should have just done the usual and run for the pure pleasure of being on the fells. Ah well, next time!:o
2 hours over Pendle this morning.
More of the same tomorrow methinks.
Knee feeling good so smile on face. :)
bit of a mistake
took myself off to north downs for a 22-miler
hamstring murdering me a mile in
hobble-jogged for 6-7 miles, thought I'd ran through it, tried to run properly, worked for a bit
hammy came back with avengeance, went for a bad fall with about 8 miles to go, could hardly lift my foot
kept going - wish i hadn't - feel like I've been run over by the slag brothers in the bouldermobile
XC Relay
15 mins and 15 seconds of PAIN....loved it :D:D
