First run of the year tomorrow. Starting from The Cow & Calf, 10 miles around Ilkley Moors, hopefully. Still wheezing like Ivor The Engine, so the wife's not best pleased. Needs must. I've got my entries in for the Wharfedale Off Road Marathon & Trollers Trot so far. 3 P's entries open on Friday & it's the Rombalds Stride in early Feb, so I can't hang about !
1 hour 15 mins for that route Tom, some going that fella - you're going well, you'll be giving Road Runner a run for his money ;)Quote:

15 miles from club hut/Pub to Grindleford cafe, Breakfast and then run back for a beer or two, same crowd as yesterday in fact alot more joining as It was a Birthday run for Mick's 50th watch out you supervets!!
Back with a vengeance after a frustrating 4 days off. 13 miles from The Cow & Calf in Ilkley, over the moor to West Buck Stones, through High Moor Plantation to Black Pots. The view from here is stunning, overlooking Sislden & in the far distance Pendle Hill. First time I've run this particular section. Then back over Addingham High Moor & Ilkley Moor via Badger Stone to The C & C. Cracking run !

Simple 3.5mile recovery run tonight, stretch the legs out. 350ft of climb, hardly worth mentioning.....
Monday, I think.Quote:

only 7 miles but I felt loads stronger. still not up to full fittness by any means but I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Long hilly run planned for Saturday, only time will tell if I finish that one, race Monday, then lakes the weekend after.
Tabata interval training. Not sure how much good they'll do for fell running but they're seriously painful. First of the four 30 second intervals were flat and the 2nd four on a slight / medium hill. Felt physically sick after the 8th one.
Whole session including warm up and warm down completed in less than half an hour. Showered and sat down with a brew and a biscuit 45 minutes after leaving the house.
Excellent training for the lazy who don't like cold weather !
Almost a 'lively' one..
Quinnag in Assynt, Sarah's first hill run following her de-gloving of the heal, started nicely, got into the snow and it was hard going, just shy of 808m summit, at 806m we started 'buzzing' so we quickly about turned and got off pretty concerned we were about to get a lightning strike. We then descended some pretty dodgy avalanch terrain, quite a big of debris from a previou sslide in the last day or so, but the need to get to lower ground outweighed the avalanche risk..made it a fun run...6.5 miles 2000ft ascent.
5k run with 275m ascent to let my body know what I want it to do on sunday.
I am so unfit, the ups were tough and downs were steady at best.
Better bring a calander to record my race duration:o
why a calendar? thought it would take you less than the month?Quote:

Not sure how much good it'll do for my racing, but I think I'll start putting a set of uphill tabata intervals into 2 days next week..... (or probably only one, as it'll hurt both me and the dog too much!)
5k in 19 mins on the treadmill. Boring but necessary. Easy week for the Rombalds Recce on Saturday.
I'm fat neutral so I'm allowed :)Quote:

Tried a set of Tabata intervals last night, warmed up for about a mile then ran 8 x 20secs flat out with 10secs rest (slow jog) in between. Slightly spoilt by running out of hill and having to do the remaining intervals on flat and then partially down the hill I was intending to run down as a warm down. But never mind, still a good short workout.
I'll use them again but I'll get a better longer hill next time so I can give it a proper effort.
nowt! spent nough time trying to post on ice! pint wash up, clean house, bath, bed!
First proper run in four months.
10 miles, 1,700ft. 1h30m.
Nice and steady 22miles 5000ft this morning/aft. Was pretty windy on the exposed tops! Took 4 hours, ended feeling strong, which I didn't expect. Bath then darts on TV now :)
ouch, good work! That's Edale Skyline-plus-a-bitQuote:

Set off at 8.00am in thick clag rain then snow from Snake Inn
My target was a half "Dozen" going Anti Clockwise. Bitingly cold with verglas coating all the rocks. it was well below zero in the wind.
From Grindslow I returned via Kinder gates and the Ammo box(6 visits today already)
18 miles 5000ft very tough going. left 5 others to continue on to hopefully complete a the full dozen but the conditions did not look favourable
Hehe cheers, I've got to make the most of the weekends, only got the gym and normal scheduled PT during the week.Quote:

Text evidence suggests they were in the pub by 3pm, so methinks a full dozen it was not ...Quote:

Sounds like a nice route! Did you take in any of the new Stan Bradshaw route? Weather sounds about spot on for Pendle!Quote:

10ml / 1200ft-ish this afternoon around Carlton and Lothersdale. Moody views over to Pendle as sun was setting
Just the second half of the Tour of Pendle though dropping down for the last climb I didn't go all the way to the checkpoint :o If you need another recce of Wadsworth (only really need to do the half trog route as that is the navigation bit) let us know.Quote:

No training today for me, up all night last night with a sour gut and had to work call out all day so not feeling the best :thunbdown:
Lovely recce with Ilkley Harriers covering the first 14.5 miles of The Rombalds Stride. Very impressed with my £22 Montane Featherlite !
