10 mile on road this morning in the snow...AGAIN
this is really starting to bug me now :mad::mad:
Just nipped out for a recovery run over Pendle for a couple of hours, threw in 3.5 of the hard climbs in...felt strong :)
10 miles doing a recce of second half of Pendle Cloughs.
saturday 7 miles of tempo around a muddy Roundhay Park following nearly 800 others! today 5 miles on the road.
No running today, calfs hurt, achilles is attempting to emit some sort of pain, but I'm not having it.
Cracking on with the raf core workout I've gotta do instead. Hip raise to dorsal raise, tricep dips to crunch, its nasty! :D
Had a top day out doing the 3 peaks on saturday never been up there before.Saw a few runners out on penygent and wernside.The accent of ingleborough was pretty scary.check out the picks

finally starting to get some time on the hill - yesterday saw a 12 mile long slow run out-and-back along the Malvern ridge-line (tempted to call it a skyline but that'd be wrong - calling it a ridge is pushing it) in the breeze.
4 miles today round the houses.
wasn't planning on a run today but the sky had turned this unusual colour, Blue!! and there was a yellow glowy thing up there as well, most strange.
A gentle run from my house round the Hunshelf Amble through woods and fields.
about 8 miles 500ft very pleasant
Looks awesome. Doing it myself this coming Saturday. I hope you've not used up all the good weather!Quote:

SOD ALL:mad:
Need to borrow Southernsoftie's forum status instead of being a Grandmaster:(
Steve, you've thousands of miles in the bank and won't loose huge amounts fitness for months assuming you can get out perhaps once in the week and a couple of decent sessions at the weekend. It'll be the light nights soon too ;)Quote:

Tonight i did a beast of a speed session on the cricket pitch and football pitch behind my house....christ running fast is hard work.:rolleyes:
Sounds a proper multiterrainer that one ;) Cant beat a bit of ginnel running :cool:Quote:

Finally brought some sort of order to my training.
In other words, I've bought a stop watch :p
7.2 miles 1000ft in 59.40 mins
I really was impressed with how much trying to beat a certain time makes you run harder and faster....probably sounds really dumb that, but I was! :)
Great 6 miler/ 1200ft on the hills this morning - nice and bright!
lovely night though wasn't it Jan. cold clear witha bright clear moon, if only the HPM will be like that. We were in the quarries at Snailsden Moss on an ExQuote:

10K on roads in crisp bright SUNSHINE :D:D
Hope it lasts...seriously suffering from SAD :(
Managed to get a sneaky little 5 ont fells at lunchtime....nice n warm.:)
Spring has sprung, though i think the snow will be on the high tops till July:eek:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Taper week, how I missed you. 3 x 800m in 2.12 with massive rests then 4 X 200m (CL will be pleased) in 28s with 2 laps jog. In build up to London Marathon but oh how I miss the fells :(
Sunshine!!!!! But still unbelievably wet off-road. So it was 6.5 road and path miles today. Steady pace - 45m38s.
6 'easy' miles, on the flat and hard.
Jibbed round the Pendle Cloughs route with Al Fowler today, cracking little route, saw some bits of Pendle I've never seen before!
Still plenty of snow up there!
Around 14 miles and 3900ft...nice :)
parked at barber booth near edale did a loop of 15 miles and 2000ft.nice run ground was nice and soft unlike last time when i went over.highlight was watching to guys on mam tor hurling themselves off on hand gliders
Woohoo! haven't been around here for a while it's all so different :D physio says i'm ok to run a bit but no races for 2 weeks...but training isn't racing so i'm breaking curfew :cool:.
Little 1.5 miler from the top of Thruscross Reservoir out over some boggy fields and back accross open fell on Rocking Moor, bet Derby Tup's been there ;).
Hardly any snow round the Wellsprings side. Did part of the 1/2 tour this aft, even geronimo was easy going, can live with those conditions on Saturday although bucket loads of heavy fog would be a treat.Quote:

I thought Geronimo was tough going with that thin layer of snow, makes it more slippy for me, when I did it the other day, much prefer a good 12 inch of snow or no snow :eek:
6 Hilly miles in an hour, just enjoyed the simple pleasure of running, the perfect antidote to a 10 hour/200 miles of driving day, feel good now:)
Nothing today..:(
attending a meeting in Leeds...more depressing than not running
