Went out pre dawn today for a dark and slippy 5. Seemed to be before the thaw.
No car or her indoors this w/e so hopping to get some decent miles in.

Like to be considerate, also like to share, bit of a confusing situation:confused::DQuote:

Luckily I carry more padding than i used to but i could feel it up my spine all morning.
Then just been out on the roads for a nice 7, no ice for the first time in weeks. Felt good and improved through the run.
Not shorts weather yet!!!

2h45 on Pendle today with a couple of my team mates from Bowland.
First run of 2010 - A cracker of a run across the fields round me, 12.5 miles.
Knackered now - I'll tell ya this for free :D theres some serious water-logging (thats a word?) at the moment....knee deep in places! Was refreshingly cold to say the least.:eek::D
I like the word so let's vote to keep it. It is odd running in such a variety of terrain/ conditions all on one run isn't it?Quote:

There you go :D
85 mins on and around Chevin and Danefield - snow, slush, ice, mud, torrential streams etc. Being a bit over-cautious even by my standards on a couple of descents.:eek:
1 hour 40 mins over pentland hills yesterday in snow, ice, galeforce winds, hail and more snow flurries
not too nice at all really
Thats some big hill reping but....Quote:

Well done for the effort though
a slow Ten round the villages. Had a codger in a 4x4 leave it to the very last second before swerving to avoid me on a pathless lane. Yet another example of why training on roads sucks.

actually with t he slush at the moment its prob like trying to walk up rollers!
Stuck to the road again today to actually get some running in, so did a steady 11 round the lanes, 1000ft climb in the first 5 miles and then enjoying a similar descent. Hopefully the fells will be runnable soon.

2hr 20mins steady on Ilkley Moor with GrahamB, socks and cousin Gill. Mixed conditions underfoot - everything from knee deep snow, tussocks, icy frozen ground to paths like streams :cool:
9 mile on roads with 1100 ' of climbing - 1 hour and 20 seconds.
I thought 'arriers was a fell-only club Will? Bunch of roadies you lot! ;):p:DQuote:

Did a short but steep run/walk on the North side of Kinder today. 2.5 miles, with about 1250' climbing, up Blackden Clough onto Blackeden Edge and Ashop Moor, then back via a lemming like plummet (loosing 750' in less than 1/2 a mile) and a gentle trot to the van (which then needed pushing back onto the road). Took an hour and a quarter but we did have plenty of scenery breaks and going nowhere fast up the steep and deep snow.
Most importantly, first time back on the big hills for my dog, after 2 months off with mild artheritis and a pulled back leg.
I uploaded my garmin from yesturdays 'door-step run'.
I know its very 'undulating' round me and there was a few good lung buster climbs, but nothing big like you get in a proper race....12.59 miles and 956ft (Thats using garmin connect)
Depending on how accurate the garmin is, - my legs are flippin feeling it to say the least.
Ave Heart Rate 150
Max HR -174 (That was climbing a big hill:o)
I probably should have gone for a nice gentle 4 miler, but i couldnt resist going all out and really putting in the effort.:rolleyes:
Out with the club. No great distance yet.
Few mile out thro very wet trails and back via road.
Got to build up more miles, reckon to and from works back on the agenda this week.
New years res is in danger. No weight loss. Gained a pound :(
17miles, 3750ft in 2.15 the only hills without much snow
Thats bloody rapid. Good effort!Quote:

Tomato soup with a couple of slices of dry bread went down a treat as did the bag of Monster Munch, original roast beef flavour:cool:
Just think Mezza. This time next year when after you exhaustion during the BG i have got you to agree to join gods won club CVFR....you could be writing about the Winter HandicapQuote:

Todays run was... a run at last, felt a bit better today, legs still lifeless but there was a bit of a spark there, I'm still finding the hills hard going but at least i didn't have to stop to be sick:(.
about 8 hilly miles
Them biscuits AB are orrible, dog biscuits taste better, Yorkies?! We used to get some un-branded mystery chocolate, orrible as well, yanks ration packs were the best, got M&M's in them;)
The Pate was a bit dry and the Orange powder was like dringing orange on steroids. the Puddings were totally inedible though even my daughter thinks there's too much sugar in them!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Used snow chains that posties use, (http://www.snowchainwarehouse.co.uk/...rices_253.html) seventeen quid & did the job well.
