A nats tadger under 15 miles from Binn Green car park, round Dovestones, up to Chew, Laddow, Black Hill then back. 2345 ft up and down in 2:46. Chew res is but a puddle.
30 mins worth of hill reps not much but It got me out. Cracking views of Kilnsey crag on the down bits.
Off work so I went for a longish run as it was much cooler out there today. 13 miles and about 2000' climb taking in Top of Pike, Top of Leach, Whittle Pike, Tom Hill and Knowl Hill following the Knowl Hill Fell Race route back to the finish from there.
Monday rest
Tuesday 60 lengths 50 SS Tues eve 40 Min's hill reps
Wed 60 Lengths 50 SS
Had a lovely 5mi run round Bolvoir woods in Belfast with Mad Mick. Very much appreciated you showing me round your back yard. Cheers mate.
Look forward to seeing you round Pendle way.
:):cool:
A 5 miler over east Torside to Bleaklow & Snake Top. A day out with the school kids over Bleaklow, then the reverse back to the car. Top day out, best quote "Compasses are cool!"
Started at Cray and went over Buckden Pike and Great Whernside and finished at Yarnbury. 11.5 miles with 2000ft of ascent 2hrs 20mins. Its a good time to run up that way its as dry as you will get it at the moment.
I did the PPP's on Saturday and started round again on Sunday, However the weather was so bad that paths were flooded on Whernside, After I had dropped back to the aquaduct some of the streams were white foaming streaks down the hillside.Quote:

Lovely little trot up Simons Seat from Buffers. 10 miles. The only downside was that Buffers is shut on Mondays !
Last night Stoodley Pike

A Trott up Cut Gate, over High Stones, Nether Hey, Down to Fairholmes, round Derwent & Howden & up Cut Gate End & back to Langsett. 4515 up & down for 19.33 miles in 4hrs2 mins. A bit warm, lots of Hare and a stream of weekend warrior Mountain Bikers pushing halfords finest up Cut Gate.

Time - 1:39
Height gain - approx 1200 ft

Legs had no strength today so more squats and started to run out of energy around 8 miles.
Lovely run from Old Glossop up to Dog Rock along Dowstone Clough across to Higher Shelf Stones, Lower Shelf and then down James Thorne to Doctors Gate and back to the factory. The perfect post work tonic!
yesterday did the Broomhead chase, short but fast and hard.
today was the local club race Broomhead bash, and a bash it is, head high bracken, knee deep bilberry and heather, three steep stream crossing, hidden rocks and secret trods, huge variation in route choice meant going from 1st to 5th and back to 1st before all coming together before the final split. brilliant race
about 6 miles and 900ft of scratched knees blood sweat and tears, great fun and no slippy lakeland rock......
Distance - 7.9 miles
Time - 1:00 hrs
Terrain - mixed farm tracks / roads
Elevation gain - approx 1300 ft
Weather - lovely drizzle in a muggy atmosphere
Followed by 200 squats
Not put anything on this thread for a while - basically because I've done little worth reporting in the past month or so, however tonight's 3.5 miles on Otley Chevin/Danefield has to be the wettest session I've ever done up there - torrential rain from a minute into the run plus thunder & lightning close by and the road crossing back onto Chevin was a fast flowing river - great fun!!:D
Yeah, it was bouncing it down in Horsforth too. Good to see your tendonitis is clearing up, i'm on treadmills for a week starting saturday, then circuits of Golden Acre for a week, then back to my old haunts- Strid Wood, Thruscross...and then i'm doing Osmotherly Show fell race which i can't stop thinking about!Quote:

Cheers Mr B (and good to see you improving) - its been slow progress but tonight included the steepest ascents since it last flared up and no after-effects so fingers crossed etc. Hope you don't get too bored on the treadmill!!Quote:

Today I ran round the Holme Moss fell route, well the middle circle. I got very wet but it wasn't cold.
I went for a run today - yes me! It hardly happens these days, just not enough hours in the day and something has to give :rolleyes: Just a little one, but it felt good :thumbup:
Today's training will be half an hours on the wobble board and an hours Yoga - if i can get some peace. Body and mind sorted.
Leg 2 of BGR today. Straight back on the horse :rolleyes:
Had a great run with Hank in spite of some mixed weather. He ran well and I felt fine after last weekend. Happy days :cool:
Excellent, did you wear a pony vest:DQuote:

4 x 550ft hill-reps on Ilkley Moor in the rain :cool:
5.5ml / 1000ft up Beamsley Beacon last night with club and a guest moderator :)
A supposedly easy jog for me turned out to be a desperate struggle as I met the current V45 English Champion at the start of my run.:thunbdown:
He wanted to "jog" with me and chat, I sweated, cursed, spat up bits of lung as he merrily chatted away telling me he was taking it very easy after Holme Moss.:o
I think in future Im gonna have to do my "training" in the dark or maybe wear a burhka so he doesnt know its me.
That said hes a top bloke.
a very slow and nervous 2.5 miles felt ok nice to release a bit of pent up tension...:)
Good stuff Ian. Great news :cool:Quote:
