Just the 2 runs this week yesterday and today,11 miles 4000ft on the waltz route going up the side of Catbells first and dropping to Honister and back up Dalehead before carrying back on.20m 5700ft for week.
well after a 10mile tempo run yesterday t time, done at a pretty brisk pace, it probably wasnt the greatest idea too go for my long run this morning!! With a thick head and after taking an age to get the old limbs warmed up ( about 5 mile up dissused railway line ) me and a mate had a run around the 17 hills of the glorious Castle Eden Dene, brutallyshort and steep every last one of them! Then ran home again, out for 2hr45mins of glorious off road running, all systems go for Edinburgh now :)
Nice one Rev. Sounds like you're runni9ng well ?
Plenty out on Ilkley Moors today. Beautiful weather, great views towards Beamsley Beacon & Simon's Seat. 10.5 miles. Feeling ready for The 3 P's.
It may be modest compared to some of the recent posts here, but last Friday Toffer and me did 45 minutes around The Garth. What made it special is that it was the first run we have had together since 2008!!!! Have really missed my old running partner and was fearing that his nasty injury was going to mean permanent exile to the Dark Side (cycling) but, no, he IS running and pretty damned well too!
Fab 1 hour dap through the bluebell woods around home this evening. Still light enough to see at 8.30. Bliss! Hard packed trails, low undergrowth, overpowering smell of blossom. Lambs bleating. What a fabulous spring we are having.
It doesn't really matter how fast/high/long you go, as long as it's in the right company in the best setting. they are the ones that countQuote:

Welcome back Toffer.... the Forum is watching your progress! Will you be doing Pentyrch?Quote:

Just tallying up last week, pretty good week with 46 miles and 14700ft ascent.
More importantly got to run with some grand folk, IDP among them. Some great running and I'm already eyeing up a long run out to Ben Alder early next week, to bothy or not to bothy?
Good effort, always good to build up the habit I find!Quote:

Ran to work today, with clothes etc in my back pack :)
I was just about to leave to get the tram back the other way, when some chaps came back from a meeting in our new building saying that they had had to walk some of the way due to a broken down tram so decided I may as well run back again :D
God it is hot ! I like the sunshine but NOT for running in, especially with my back pack on.
Me too, ran home as well, dam, dam, dam hot, make sure no one sneaks a rock in your backpack, happened to me once:sneaky:Quote:

Timble cross-roads over Round Hill to Beamsley Beacon and back the last 2 days, about 10 miles. Very dry up there and signs of a big fire.
Could well be the Denton Moor fire I linked to here: http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showt...moorland-fires.... I was up there Sunday - with walking friends & there had definitely been a fire between the shooting hut and Round Hill summit.Quote:

Mini home work out this morning. No running work as I am out for a glass of vino in the sun after work ;)
4.5 miles round the nature reserve by work. Shame about the weather though. Bought all the bloody chavs out... :angry:
Can't find the todays ride thread and as it was a recce for my run to work tomorrow its going in here.
6mile 1300ft 35mins of mtb fun only spoilt by having to go to work.
Totally agree Dominion, the usual chav chant being hey Mr wot ya doing?
3.5 mile recovery run across the fields in Horsforth, cracking weather and first shirtless run of the year so far. Got followed by a herd of around 40 young bullocks in one field, I thought they would ignore me as they were all laid down near the stile, but the whole herd jumped up and stampeded across the field with me. Bit unnerving but an interesting experience, I usually bottle it tbh and jump a fence but decided to stick with it and see what happened. Think they were just curious.
Glad Chevin & Danefield are generally Chav-free!!
6 miles/1600ft - going well on the steeper climbs in particular:thumbup:
Also went down one step-descent neither myself nor 5 of my 6 clubmates I was with knew existed - after 14 years of running up there:o (to the west of the main steps and gradually zig-zagging down to the surfaced road just to the west of the White House).
I've used that before but as a climb rather than a descent (if I'm thinking of the right place)Quote:

22 miles around Wensleydale on Saturday, 6 miles in the Settle hills on Monday, 16 miles in a loop out of Kettlewell on Tuesday (Firth Fell, Buckden Pike and Great Whernside), 9 miles yesterday up and over Plover Hill and Pen y Ghent and today, this time with one of my daughters, a planned 7 or 8 mile loop From Stainforth up Smearsett Scar, through Wharfe and Oxenber woods followed by a climb up and over the limestone desolation of Moughton before plunging in Stainforth Foss for a 'cooling' swim after.
My weathered, outdoorsy sun burn is coming on a treat :)
Ran to work today with rucksack on full to bursting (in fact had to get my part time housemate to bring in a few last bits that wouldn't fit as we also work together :o Took her 3 times longer than me on the tram!).
Still just on the bike.
3 times up the track to chew valley res and back each day (1.9m 900ft x 3)
Sounds like it's the one - we agreed it would be more fun as a climb!!Quote:

Yesterdays recce not used due to short on time so just had a quick 3.5 mile road run into work this aft but tbh it was a bit too warm for me!. Should be a bit cooler for the return home at 10...
good little club run this evening, approx 6-7 miles. Few Roe deer bounding through the heather
