Ran round edale skyline yesterday morning in the snowy blizzard. Visibility was poor. My navigation was not bad except for running straight past the brown knowl trig and not even seeing it!!!:o (visibility at the time was only about 20/30 yards) however hit the fence line dropping into the junction above jacobs ladder spot on!??? Weird piece of navigation that on my part.
Did the down up from grindslow. didn't find it too bad. the question is, is it quicker than going round??
13.5 miles around Winter Hill and up towards Standing Stones. A nice loop with a bit of everthing in and 1,700ft of climbing. A bit blowy over the tops but dry.
8 x 400ft hill reps yesterday on coastal path from Branscome with Stef. 9.5ml /1400ft today Seaton to Branscombe and back with Stef and her son Sam
8.5m/1240ft wet, muddy and cold. Warm shower with muddy pooch and homemade parkin and a pot of tea now:thumbup:
11.5miles around edale. was meant to be full round but the cold put pay to that. snowy and very cold.
Aye but didn't do too grand...in the pubs 2-6pm, then went back to the B n B for supposedly an hour before heading back out again but fell asleep til 10.30 pm! :oQuote:

Free Parkin is a rarity in this day and age, this Yorkshireman thoroughly enjoyed it, not too tight to give my training partner a bit though.Quote:

Quick 30min headtorcher round Eccup Reservoir (4m) with a mate, very boggy and misty but good to stretch the legs after a week being ill and unable to run.
45-min spin class with 3 quickish miles' running either side last night
recovery jog into work this a.m.
Had a day off work yesterday and went for a run up Pendle Hill with the girlfriend. Pure white-out on top!
Did the pendle hill race route this lunch time.
Clag on top with just a bit of snow in places.
That steep bank never get's any easier.
Resting knee so no running
24k on bike
2k on rower
8m club run, circa 58mins. Some very hilly sections all run at max pace so a good solid session
Having a trot up Simons Seat late morning today. Say "hi" if anbody's about !
with a bit of pruning, that'd make a good haikuQuote:

Lovely 11 mile scamper up to Simons Seat & back down the beautiful Valley of Desolation. Somehow managed to get lost on the way up !! Took the wrong path (schoolboy error, I know). But had fun jumping through the heather & dead bracken & stumbled upon a lovely stretch of stream, so it was all good. Saw sod all at the top, very claggy. However, a nice morning out.
Still not running
so did bit in gym
20 k on bike
45 min fit ball class
27 km, 600m climbing today. Ran from the Fox House pub over Carl Wark, Higgar Tor, Stanage Edge with a drop down from the top to the toilets for water, down Friars Ridge and then to the calendar box and home via rivelin rocks. Tough first half, particularly with the nasty weather, then a speedy run in along rivelin valley.
3 mile recovery after last nights efforts. All good in the hood :)
