11 miles 1100' mostly on road and lanes. I stopped to take some snaps of icicle formations I had spotted on the previous day's run.

Fantastic "run" in the snow on Saturday. Parked in Hayfield, along the trail to Birch Vale and then up Ollersett Moor. Waist deep snow made it hard to walk let alone run. Rolled down the hills into Chinley and then up South head and Mt Famine. Kinder looked spectacular from the top of Mt Famine. Was tempted but was also knackered so back into Hayfield and a crawl up Lantern Pike to finish off.
Probably the slowest but one of the best runs I've ever done
Is no one training this week ??
As I've been out Monday AND Tuesday it looks like I'll be a clear favourite for all the major fell races next season :thumbup:
40minutes in hotel gym (usual mix of treadmill, stepper and bike). Pleased with four sessions whilst away because its been a hectic trip :thumbup:
Nothing for a couple of weeks....too worried to train on this icy ground
Not bad. You may well be my main competition next season.Quote:

I thought about you yesterday Will. when chatting with a lad from Stockport at the airport. He said he supported Stockport County. Must be two of you then :closed:Quote:

It was in Delhi on the way back from Bangalore. I'm trying Stockport International tomorrowQuote:

He was probably a member of the huge Stockport County Supporters club Delhi branch.Quote:

An hour on and around Baildon Moor, Sconce Lane & Harvey Smith's gallops - good to get the wave harriers nice and muddy again!!:)
Did 4 ascents of Kinder following the Dozen route along the South side srated nether Moor via Jaggers and went to Grindslow Knoll before running back to car at nether Booth,2 hours 50.
16 fantastic miles from Baildon Moors, up to Dick Hudsons & over onto Bingley Moors. Picked up the Rombalds Stride Route to Whetstone Gate & West Buck Stones. Then came back on the path above Swastika Stone above Ilkley & past the 12 Apostles & back to Baildon via Weecher Reservoir, Harvey Smiths Gallops & Trig Point. According to the Garmin I burned off 1700 calories. That's a lot of red wine to drink diring the Spurs V Chelsea match.
A Cheeky 7 miles around the Wessenden Valley at 7:15 am this morning. Dark, (no headtorch!), icy, some snow still, and great fun. !012 ft gained and lost. Set to break my measured record milage this year!
Haven't run for weeks. Managed to get out for 8 miles of rolling hills this morning. Good to be running again :thumbup:
Heavy session on the beer last night. Nearly sick on my new rocklites :thunbdown:
8.5 miles on ilkley moor this morning 2000ft ascent/descent. Very boggy in places which made for slow going but still good to get out.
Saw several other fell runners whilst out, if anyone here was up there this morning then hello again :)
2 and a half hours running / ice skating / falling over on Friday afternoon.
The Adidas Kanadia is not the ideal shoe for ice running.
Rob, I must have seen you ! Saw at least 6 runners out during my splash around Ilkley Moor. 3 on the short(ish) section from Bingley Moor across towards the 12 Aostles.
I saw a lady runner struggling in the ice and clinging desperately onto the wall of the canal viaduct just outside Marple on Friday afternoon.
I chuckled ( only briefly ) and thought "Right love I'll show you how its done" I then proceeded to cross the viaduct clinging desperately onto the wall and ended up flat on my a**e.
The first of 6 falls that day.
If you saw 3 runners on that section and the first was a guy wearing a red cap (with two ladies behind that weren't with me, just following), that was me. I said morning to someone along there so that might just have been you. I was running from 12 apostles toward the cairn before you get to the wireless station.Quote:

I think they were too :)
Must be the Lynx :D
First run for 2 weeks so I wasn't expecting miracles.
A shocking performance yesterday, I had to walk up some of the hills!!!:thunbdown:
about 5.86 miles 1090ft in 44+ minutes!! 6 minutes over my PB of 38.32
felt terrible. I need to get a few looseners in I think.
7.7 miles and truely stupendous 668.7 feet ascent! I'll never make a fellrunner! ..or is that fell-runner, or fell runner??? :w00t:
5.5 miles with about 300ft this morning....the bliss of a changed timetable
Planning a fastish 17 mile road run tonight. Interested to see if running mainly in the hills has blunted my road speed, or what road speed I had.
We were there too Ian - my first one in ages - took along time as well but I didn't walk up any hills ;) ;)Quote:

17 miles on the roads in 2 hours 12. 50 % flat 50 % small hills
Felt good at the end. Doing the likes of Pendle, Hope Moors and tors definitely seems to have boosted the stamina
11.7 miles over the fields. Longest run for a year or so. :thumbup:
Good stuff Dom!!Quote:

Any one fancy a run from Langsett/Strines/CuthroatBridge tonight. I'm free and and would like a steady run out to get some air.
8.2 miles over Baildon, Bingley & Burley Moors. Came a right cropper by the gate just shy of The 12 Apostles right in front of 8 walkers. Great comment from one of them: "I don't think he has the right trainers on" ! I had my Talons on love, but thank's for the tip !
Everyone's a critic eh:wink:Quote:

6 miles 750' slow run in the snow on the local hills. 1st run after recent bug and felt ok till I got back home and immediately fell asleep in chair.
Must have had less energy than I thought :D
Greenfield - Plantation - Wimberry ascent / descent - & return...plenty of snow out there, tough going upto Wimberry - nice to get out tho' :)
