DOH!

Wet run yesterday in my lunch break. Warm and sunny today for my lunch time run. Have done a work out at home in the meantime, and my legs are seriously aching now :sneaky: Might not manage tomorrow's run, I bet I won't be able to hardly walk :o

Kettlewell, Arncliffe, Monks Road, Malham Tarn, Street Gate, Mastiles Lane, Kilnsey, Coniston, back via the Dales Way.

She was back at 4:30pm, luckly though my brother had a spare pair of my business keys and a nice shower and some clean clothes so worked out ok.
Did 6 mile on the treadmill today 10 min warm up and 40 min LT run followed by weights!
A 13 mile slog in the torrential rain this morning!
Chilling now before a night out in town tonight and a well earned day off tomorrow!
50 miles total this week :thumbup:
Well Done MG!Quote:

The reason I've put 21.68m is because I've noticed something odd, the last 3 long runs I've done have been exactly that distance. Rombalds Stride, Trollers Trot Recce and this Recce today :confused: don't know how I've managed that, strange thing is (with the exception of Rombalds) I went wrong on both others and added to the distance as well.....
22ml / 8000ft yesterday on L, R &W route with Stef. Decent day in Lakeland apart from three passing winter showers
11 miles/1850 ft up Black Hill from Marsden and back in 1hour 57. Saw three other runners going up Black Hill, I usually don't see any. Nice to see the Deer back at Wessenden Lodge Farm.
Its nice to be able to post here having had so much time off with hip. just spent week in lakes taking it very steady. saturday did binsey from Binsey lodge by headtorch,scary! Tues did Whin Rig and illgill Head dropping back to Mitterdale via Burnside. About 10 miles and hip held up. Friday went from Orthwaite to Great Cockup to Great and Little Scafell to Knott and back to Orthwaite about 8.5 miles and still hip OK. Today after drive home hip feel as bad as ever,perhaps its not the running at all?
Sounds fab DT...bet you burned off a few pies on that one! ;)Quote:

Thanks FRR I think thats really sound advice and my hip has been bad all day today. back to work tomoz and think sitting at computer is probably not that good either.Quote:

Hacked round the Fairfield Horseshoe yesterday morning. A nice dusting of snow as well as a full on gale force wind on the top ridge of the horseshoe. Harry, obsessive as he is, insisted on fetching sticks all the way round. Extreme sticking :)
Shaftoe Orienteering comp with Northern NAvigators. Never done a proper "O" before, pretty sure I put in more miles than everyone else due to not very accurate map reading... It's a learning curve. Came 8th on a Blue course. Probably about 7-8km in all, not much but damn good fun.
Just got back from a very enjoyable trot round the Hope Moors and Tors 20 mile route. A few dark clouds in the sky but the rain held off and the visibility was perfect all morning. Aimed for 4 hours and managed it in 3 hours 59 minutes 45 seconds !
Apologies to the fell runner on top of Loose Hill, I would normally have stopped for a chat but I'd have missed my four hour target.
what is this route roughly please?Quote:

Starts in Hope, flat to Castleton then climb up through Cave Dale and eventually top of Mam Tor, drop into Edale via Hollins Cross up Kinder by the Grindsbrook route. Turn right along to virtually the end of the plateau drop down through Jaggers Clough, Edale YHA. Down to the road back up to Hollins Cross turn left along to Loose Hill and back into HopeQuote:

Have got a decent map somewhere on email. Can send it you if you want.
Not sure about your other question.
No there isn't, in fact I don't think there is a race that touches the northern side of Kinder from Crookstone round to the Snake Path (Kinder Beer Barrel Challenge excepted). I'm sure someone will jump and correct this though.Quote:

3700 ft of climibng so quite a lot of up and down but only Grindsbrook is unrunable. The rest is just about manageable although the last crawl up to Hollins Cross is tough.Quote:

2.5hrs from Ogden around to Oxenhope connected by stairs lane and all in the sun shine. GREAT.
A bit differnet to noonstones on Saturday..
8 mile club run tonight (55mins) managed a sub 7 min/mile up a steep hill and also 2 miles back to the club at 5:30 pace :) Had a good night, fastest I've run in ages
7 Miler solo in 50 minutes, fastest run to date and well chuffed with progress towards London in April (Don't worry guys it's only a temporary situation) Altough I am enjoying punding the pavements at the moment I know that I am doing it for a purpose and that's a one off atempt at the London, can't wait now to get it done and then get back to the Fells.
Well done....only in my dreams could I be that fast! :oQuote:
