Skip, jog walk to school with daughter, then a 5miler round the roads, trails and paths of sunny wirksworth:), then into car and work:(
No running today, resting for half tour, but got some core and body weight exercises done this morning.
About 4 miles (??) round Tatton Park at lunchtime. It's the first time this year I've been too hot when out running - lovely blue skies.
1 minute 30 second intervals. Alternating fast race pace and recovery pace. I was knackered by the end.
Usual 5 miles 1200' lunch time run to Top of Pike and back. Beautiful out there today and I could have done with much less kit on for the run :)
4k run into work, did it at race pace, as quick as I could - 17 mins
it really really hurt
Nice and steady 3 miler, more core work beforehand too.
Bring on the half tour.
4 miles last night with 1500 feet of ascent
32:something
Core work followed by half a mile in the pool in readiness for The Trollers Trot tomorrow. The forecast, rather typically, is for an end to the sunshine. No matter, bring it on !
15 miles on tracks and footpaths just outside Nottingham. beautiful evening could have run and run.
7 hilly miles while Mini-Merrylegs was at cricket practice, keeping the recent depression at bay:cool:
5.75 brisk miles mainly on roads yesterday
12 x 70 seconds hard up hill (off road) + WU CD
13 mile back on road tomorrow :(
only on road because of crappy icy trails/hills etc
sunday 1st - 30 hilly miles bike
Tuesday 7.5 miles with Wigston Phoenix a leicester road club, felt strong
Thurs - night time fell race kildwick, died badly on 2nd hill, felt week, also went wrong following penguin so did an extra loop to make up.
Sat - half tour of Pendle, very pooor up the hills and faded half way round though did recover.
Sun - started to do a 10 mile steady had to give up after 2, felt light headed legs empty etc.
Not going too well at the moment, very tired and having to have more rest days than I usually would, not sure why though. Need to alter my diet but other than that seem to be getting nowhere.
Just over 12.5 miles from Brun Clough up the old pennine way, over Dean Head Moss to Soldier's Lump on Black Hill, down Black Dyke Head to Wessenden and along the water courses back to Slawit. Heavy going in the snow & plenty of Ski Sunday tracks. March 7th and no thaw on Black Hill. There has been snow in some goughs since 29th of Nov!
Ran majority of Meon Valley Plod race route yesterday with Stef. c17ml / 2500ft. Surprisingly tough as ground hard. Stunning day in the sun mind :cool:
Ran the 3 Peaks yesterday (walkers route as opposed to the race route). Bit of a mixed bag, really. Was down at the Hill Inn in about 3 hours, took me more than 2 to make it from there back to Horton though. ITB in my left knee started giving me grief after the descent from Whernside and I was pretty much spent after leaving the top of Ingleborough. Add to that the first time I've worn my X-Talons and a couple of pretty tasty blisters, it was a pretty painful experience! Nice weather though.
Sunday. hathersage to Rod Moor,Emlin, Back Tor and onto High Neb and down into hathersage. great conditions, but the stretch from Emlin to Back Tor was grim.
it always is:rolleyes:Quote:

Ran from Edale up to Mam Nick and then the second half of the Edale Skyline route yesterday with two clubmates. Couldn't believe how easy it was to run on the frozen bog between CP7 and CP8. Slushy snow/ice (how is that possible?) between CP9 and Ringing Roger was a different proposition, but the amazing blue sky and general fantasticness of the conditions left us all feeling quite exhilarated.
5 mile blast round the Ewden valley in the last race of the winter series. This one was handicaped and boy was I.
It took me 30 minutes to run the route and I had to give some runners 15 minutes start.
Oh well roll on the Summer series in 2 weeks
Two laps of village on road :o Set out for a recovery run on sore legs but felt good so threw in a couple of efforts :cool:
Just enjoyed the longer version and photos on your blog. Sorry about the ITB. What on earth is NUUN water, and is the walkers' route much different from the runners' one?Quote:

Todays short jaunt for me only 4 miles recceing a forth coming club race but couldn't take my prospective line as it was on fire!!! Lots of heather burning going on at the moment.
Now there's an idea for a new branch off sport. Extreme Fell Running where the course is set on fire or snipers at specific points with rubber bullets if you get hit your finished or even hounds chasing. All these are in the spirit of Fell running as you would have to look after yourself as normal. Oh i forgot electric stiles,fences and checkpoints are an idea too. What do you think Ian. Think it could catch on.
I think the race route also takes a more direct route from Pen-Y-Ghent to Ribblehead, cutting the corner that the walkers route takes. Pretty much the walkers route is a bit longer, but is better underfoot between Pen-Y-Ghent and, as Ian says, takes a less steep route up Whernside... sad to say I didn't run most of it on Sunday though!Quote:

Felt remarkably good and was at the forefront of the group all the way round until I took a heavy tumble round Ogden Clough and landed on my dodgy knee. As we neared Barley it started hurting so I eased off, but after some poking and prodding in the pub, decided it was bruising rather than the ITB. Sticking with that diagnosis this morning. Phew!:)
BritMilFit last night - the toughest session I've done in two years
'The Triangle of Doom' the PTI called it, and he wasn't wrong
:eek:
feel genuinely battered
Tell me more...Quote:

you add on an exercise and a sprint round the triangle for each round
Round 1: 1 min press-ups, sprint round the triangle + 1 side (i.e., 4 sides)
Round 2: 1 min press-ups, 1 min sit ups, sprint twice round + 1 (7 sides)
Round 3: 1 min p-ups, 1 min s-ups, 1 min squats, 3x + 1
Round 4: as 3, plus 1 min dorsal raises, 4x + 1
Round 5: as 4, plus 1 min V-sits, 5x + 1
Round 6: as 5, plus 1 min burpees, 6x + 1
Wow! What a legend that PTI is. Genius!:D
Oh come on Ian..Quote:
