Usual jib round the 7mile training loop, thats it till saturdays race now, except for the Bleep test tomorrow down at the raf.
this again but back down to 12 - went off too quick, trying to be superman, and felt nauseous and dizzy after no. 10 ...Quote:

5 miles 1200' lunch time run to Top of Pike and back.
Gentle 34min 4.5mi run round streets of Manchester this morning.
Not sure I'm gonna be back in time to go out with KCAC tonight tho':(.
Ok so it was my first run out in the hills since the Hebden. Really had to force myself to get out into a pretty grim looking day. Had a slow 11 miler in the freezing fog/ice/slush/snow from Cod Beck reservoir, Osmotherley up to Carlton Bank top and back. Felt ok after. :cool:
I'm right at this second just back from a 55 minuter up and over the back of High Hill and, just as I've sat down to type this, I've noticed that I've lacerated my right calf on some barbed wire climbing over one of the dry stone walls :eek:
Here you go................

:cool:
Short run (bit under 2 miles) in the slush with the dog, followed by 35 minutes doing the core strength and yoga workouts on Wii Fit - surprisingly good workout if you pick the right exercises...
p.s. that looks like it'll sting in the shower Stolly!
Too much snow still on Kinder for my liking so I did the Cracken Edge race route from my house too add a couple of miles on. Very slushy but way more fun than the actual race :-)
Fantastic soft light over Whaley Bridge and the rez.
Stolly, it's only a flesh wound.
A mere scratch i remember once when out running me leg fell off:D
Glad our navigator is relying on a more traditional map for our HPM recce than the kind used for the Edale Skyline.:D;)Quote:

Who else would it be. He is one of the most friendly and most giving of his knowledge and experience type person out there. What gave it away ?.
Like Columbo, I just pieced it together: as a member of the same club I figured you'd probably be happy discussing this at length with him, I also know something of his methods having chat to him myself...and as you say, it's just the kind of thing the cheeriest, most helpfulest guy would sort you out with!:D
Follow the IDP-Plan and you'll be flying!;)
Nice blog TT. I notice you now have 11 followers (including me). However, 2 of your followers are you. How does that work? :confused::confused:Quote:

At least people can't do that on flooded fields...
Certainly, the numbers indicate how many times per week they occur. Sorry i was a bit vague.
Can't imagine doing 12 sessions in a week.
If you can manage to keep on track it looks like a very thorough, balanced programme for fell running. You should be flying in a couple of months.
Hope it goes well.
Finally motivated enough to do a 2hr bash out and about Black Hill and Holme Moss with mates.
About bloomin' time I got back into it! :mad:
i don't work so as long as i am organised the time between dropping children at school and picking up is free. Other than my regular Psychiatry appointments checking on my meds for my Bipolar etc.

nor me..but then again this is the session plan of somebody (IDP) who has considerably more time on his hands that most of us
if i can manage to squeez in any extra sessions a week i make sure that they are totally specific
5 x 5mins on treadmill today at 10% incline 2mins recovery at 5% incline same speed throughout..then finished off with 3 mins flat...flat out so to speak
What was Black hill like Jan Bleaklow was murder:(Quote:

Worst of it was I could see Table Mountain through the gym window :(
A gentle run/plough up Cutgate with Brent. Too tired this morning to drive 2 hours for a 80 minute race in cloud and then drive back.
7 mile round trip took 1.50. It snowed the whole way again!! I'm starting to really get fed up of snow.
Not posted on this for a while, had an ok Trog despite getting lost. Then a bout of illness so a couple of low mileage feeling crap weeks.
Sun 21 - ilkley FR 5.5 miles - felt crap all way round
Mon 22 - Night time duathlon -felt much better, strongest on cycle, just missed out on 3rd overall due to a poor transition. Insulted by Biara :)
Tues 23rd - 8 miles club run, felt strong till last 2 miles. Met some bunch of no hoper's calling themselves wharfe something or other, they were running towards the Keighley clubhouse, some sort of wishful thinking there I think. They seem to do it most weeks, stop stare wistfully and then run back the way they came - bizarre.
Wed 24th - Rest
Thurs 25th - 6 miles club run inc 4 1/2 mile efforts with approx 2 mins recovery between each. Knackered.
Fri 26th - rest
Sat 27th - 19 miles hilly road run felt strong till about 16 miles
Went round Blackcombe race route.
Plenty of snow on the top of blackcombe.
I obviously had the right lines as I followed some Montrail stud marks most of the way.
There was even some **** with a kite n snowboard getting pulled uphill as I was struggling back up to the summit from the stream jnct.
I wasn't impressed:mad:
13ish mile circular with me missus and a couple of other ladies from KCAC. From Howarth up Top o' Stairs, Crimsworth Dean and Walshaw then back along Pennine Way via top withins and bronte waterfalls. A nice steady outing with plenty of eggy bread scoffed en route.
tell me about it IanQuote:

come on spring/summer get a move on
11.5 miles from Marsden up Warcock, along the old penine way over Broadhead Moss. Got bogged down up to my knees under two feet of snow. Visibility was down to 50 yards and had to work off a compass bearing as the path was obliterated by drifts up to 10ft deep in the groughs. Finally hit the A635 400 yards west of my target. A 2 mile trott along the A635 saw me at Wessenden head. Down the valley to Blakely Clough up to Swellands, over Bobus, passed Warcock and back to Marsden. 2,000 ft ish, and 2:45. God I love the snow!
Done, back and not as knackered as I thoughtQuote:
