10, boring, K on the treadmill last night. Sore knees. The gym instructor told me to try cider vinegar & honey ! Anybody tried this ?
8 mile run to Capel from Dolwddelan today - lovely weather, first longish run since the welsh 1000m (short) the other week. Hard to get going but felt ok.
What do you do with the cider vinegar and honey? is it an internal or external remedy?
Internal !! A shot of cider vinegar to 2 teaspoons of honey. Got the ingredients, just haven't plucked up the courage to drink it yet !
I had a sore knee yesterday but a pint of Timothy Taylor's Ram Tam last night seems to have sorted it, taken internally ;)Quote:

Nice one ESW. Hope it doesn't turn me into an alcoholic though !
trying to protect my achilles, so I tried something new:
got on the cross-trainer in the gym (or 'nordic skiiing machine', whatever), turned the incline / resistance right up and didn't use the poles, just the legs
felt like it worked anyway, specially if the dustbin-lid sized pool of sweat on the floor was anything to go by ....
6ml / 800ft on Ilkley Moor. Good to see Trimm Tramm out and going well :)
7m/1000ft home from work, saw some curlews and hares and imagined my dog was with me, 3 weeks from now she'll be clear for walks, be a nice warm down after a run to go for a pleasant pooch poddle:)
Just started again after 2 months off. Last week
Mon - 6m easy with club along river
Wed - hill session on Helm, total 4m, 700ft, slow , v hard
Fri - 2mls easy
Sat - Bendrigg 10k 53.28, so tired but enjoyed being in a race at last & good workout.
Probably a bit much first week but so good running again. Foot more uncomfortable than painful now so improving slowly.
Cracking 8mile run last night in bowland from quernmore over Clougha pike etc, great weather
Club night on the Helm, steady run to ridge then reps. 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min, 4min, 3min, 2min, 1min, all trying to hold a sustained pace. Good session, lovely evening. creeping back to fitness.
60 lengths today
Amex, are you swimming as an aid to running, or as rehab or have you entered the great north swim or some other swim event?
Well Wharmton Dash on sunday at 2m/600ft. 17 minutes 52secs 4th place, then Snoops Loop race, 7 miles 1100ft or so, 48 minutes, 6th place. Steady 8 miles 2700ft last night 1 hour 17 minutes. Hill reps tonight, Harden Moss or Clougha pike on saturday then 15 miles 5000ft on sunday
Oh if life was so simple, i suffer from Achilles tendon bursitis, so if i run on say a Monday, its Thursday before i can run again, well i can run but the pain is well not nice!Quote:

Fell running gives me things in life that i just cannot find anywhere else
and before any body else say it there is no weight in water :p
Thanks mate, sorry to hear that but at least you have a plan! And the swimming should give you an Ian Thorpe type body, maybe...
5 x 550ft reps on Ilkley. 20°C at 9pm. Warm work
Dedication to the cause DT!Quote:
