Today's Training

cycled to the hairdressers and back to work this morning, cycle home tonight, although to be fair the home trip is only about 1/2 a mile :o

Er... going to the hairdressers doesn't count as training ;)

Something like 13 miles I'd guess - I did it in 1 hour 47 anyway. Brilliant run either way.

Superb run that Stolly.

Watch out for the ramps on the road along the riverside down by the Cavendish Pavilion. I came a cropper on one this summer. :rolleyes:

6 x 800m off 90sec rest

If you mean those sleeping policeman, I tend to run on the grass beside the road (but even then there are the car parking area logs to watch out for). On the bit to Cavendish I guess I ought really to run the other side of the river anyway but I just like the full circuit with no ground covered twice. I do take the top path to the Strid which includes a lettle chug up a zig zag path just into the woods after Cavendish to make it just a tad harder :)

You're right though, its a fantastic run.

2 hours 20 with Emma, Dave & Shirley from Roddlesworth over Great Hill and Spitlers Edge to Winter Hill.
(Nearly lost Shirley in a bog!) Back through Belmont and around the reservoir.
Followed by full breakfast in Vaughn's Cafe watching the birds.
