7.5 kilometres around the nature reserve by work...
9.1 miles (the .1 is crucial) last night. First properly cold one this winter.
2 hours steady to John o'Gaunt's castle and back. About 24km and 320m of ascent. :rolleyes:
9 mile circular from Kilnsey to Boardley. Cracking views all around.
Best part of 10k along the River Mersey to Chorlton Water Park and back with the head torch on, nice and steady. Saw a couple wandering around the lake in the dark, they didn't even have a dog very strange....
Two days on and a fantastic night run over Kinder with the best part of 30 Dark peakers. Stunningly clear and crisp. the odd patch of snow but lots of frozen turf. The night sky was amazing, saw a big shooting star that went from one horizon to the other.
Uxbridge to Ruislip with my heavy back pack on, in the wind and rain and rush hour. Vaguely enjoyed it :D
A soggy 3 and a bit miles at Fewston followed by coffee and cakes in the rain.
10 miles around Lady bowyer, tried to get up to Howden edge but was blown over 3 times. so slunk back to valley
A nice 9 miles around Black Hill from Wessenden Head. Took in the 'not so secret' trod on the summit down to Crowden Little Brook & Over Meadow Clough to the wrecks. Dropped down to Crowden Great Brook & Back to WessyThe waterfall at the top of Meadow Clough was in flow.Attachment 4124

Lovely 4 miles down by the river, it was nice and bright and cold - glad I went early, it's raining now :thunbdown:
An invigourating 10 and a half miles down Lady Clough, up Seal Stones along the northern edge of Kinder, over Mill Hill, back t Snake Top & down to Lady Clough. My first run through snow of the season! We gained & lost 2300 ish feet. Nice to see the mountain Hare with their winter coats on.
Could not be bothered to run a few tube stops this morning, so decided to force myself out and just run two... except I missed the turn off (well it was foggy!) and found myself at West Ruislip anyway. :w00t:
WOW what a day. Fast hard race last night and legs stiff so went for a Recovery walk/run/stretch over Howden edge.
Cloud inversion all morning with a Brocken spectre. Wish I'd have taken my proper camera but valley was thick of clag. Winn Hill, Loose Hill, Mam Tor, Kinder, Bleaklow all had there heads above the blanket. only saw one group at a distance. Stunning day. If the pictures off the phone are any good I'll post soon.
all my training at the moment is either
a) gym-based during the week: mainly cross-trainer and bike, with some weights / circuits / core stuff
or
b) riding the bike at weekend - quite intense 60-70 min 'time-trial'-style riding
It will be very interesting to see whether my running has suffered - or improved even - come new year when I can start again ...
An hour of bridleway and cyclocross style mud riding, followed by a 40minute run, followed by a longer (but same route) style ride home. Very wet feet and completely numb by the time I got in.
Last trip out was Sunday. Run up Buckden Pike via a quiet minute at the Memorial at 11. Then onto Gt Whernside.
12 miles
2500ft ascent.
How wet can it get nearly sank twice.
An hour in the mosh pit at Motorhead last night. Calves are killing me now.

10 miler around Threshfield moor, Kilnsey, Conistone and back to Grassington and not a soul in sight.
Lemmy rocks. Last saw them on the Bomber tour 30th aaniversary. I was at the tour 30 years before. The city hall in Sheffield got wrecked during the original tour. We all behaved ourselves 30 years on.Quote:

One of the supoort bands was the remains (singer) of Hanoi Rocks who I saw 20 years ago, at probably the best gig I have ever been to and couldn't believe how much he was giving it out last night. Also bumped into 3 mates who I haven't seen for about 15 years and who have clearly spent those years drinking and not fell running.

I wore my Gore Windstopper jacket on top of my HH and ran in shorts. I was warm as toast!
He's still walking, further investigation required.Quote:

I'm loving cycling, which is far far less harsh on the body
Just over 14 miles and around 3000ft up and down. From Wessendenhead up to BlackHill, Crowden Little Brook & Up Lawrence Edge and back. Saw a lost Brindle Lurcher, couldn't get to it. A bit sad really. Also saw a Buzzard by Sliddens Moss.
might be doing some thing similar tomorrowQuote:

The warm up I did though took longer than the doing the route lol. 30min massage, then 30min run drills and dynamic stretches.
Got home did 30min cool down then another 30min massage and ................ so far so good. Hip feels good :-)
Tomorrow is usual of 25k bike ride and 1hr swim. No running tomorrow!!
Patience is not my best asset but I'm going to give it a go :-)
First run as a dad today. Just a quick one, 4.5 km , two crosses of rivelin valley, 200m of height gain. 22minutes. That's 2.8 miles and 680' for those who are anti-metrication!
Felt good to be out, but wanted to be back with the little lad asap. . .
Get a backpack asap. It's great training. Those front loaders are good but they don't seem to be in them two minutes. You can get some great treks in with them in the back packs. Congratulations!
fan-bloody-tastic!! Congratulations to you all :-)Quote:
