A proper thrashing at BMF on Tue night, as a last-min CV fitness boost for Duddon.
Seemed to work brilliantly - until I woke up with a knackered achilles.
10 miles club run tues (felt much better than the 8 miles at Austwick the day before)
5 mile club Bronte road race last night only passed by 2 people in the club who should not be able to beat me - a vast improvement from Austwick , slowly getting fitness back after a prolonged dodgy patch.
Have tweaked a muscle in top of l thigh (doesn't feel to serious) so have spent the day bonding with a bag of peas.
15.4 miles recce of Holme Moss route. Too hot, too little water & too slow! 3550 feet up & down in 4:42.
16 miles circular route from Haworth over to Hebden bridge and back taking in varous bits of the hobble, yorkshireman, trog and various woodentop events. 2 hours 37min
2,800 ascent
still problems with thigh muscle.
planned 30 mile hard training ride became a 27 mile potter through lanes in the rain, 3000ft uppy downy.

club duathlon
6 miles bike (+ 12 miles there and back) 2.5 miles run.
80 minutes around Hambledon Hill area trying out my new X-Talon 212's. After a bit of lacing adjustment to suit my fat feet things went well. No discomfort or blisters which is always a bonus when trying out a new model, especially after the trouble/pain I had with the Mudclaw 330's. All I need now is a race that suits them, might have to be Skiddaw after mi hols.
Distance - 7.8 miles
Time - 1 hr
Elevation gain - approx 1200 ft
A nice steady run in the sun swiftly followed by 200 squats to warm down.
7.3 mile home from work, first run for 2 months, felt good, might sting a bit in the morning though!
Good work Steve :cool:Quote:

Golf - jeez thats really pushing the envelope amex! Can I suggest that you extend your training regime even further with a couple of games of darts each day (double in and out mind), maybe a game of monopoly and if you're feeling in top form a 500 piece jigsaw :DQuote:
