That's the one! As was pointed out in Accelerate, just 11 more shoe sizes until he can have his own Inov8s...Quote:

Leg 4 of the LCW relay, 11.5 miles in 1:20. Quite hard work
10 miles and 2500ft from Glen Clova, largely off path with some very rough ground. Still not feeling strong on the hill but improving, pretty sure I spotted an Eagle to boot. Awesome views over to Lochnagar, Mount Keen, Corrie Fee, and Mayar and Driesh. Managed to suprise some walkers by pretty much falling down the hill onto the Jocks road. Really very glad to be able to afford getting out to the hills every week, the sunny weather probably helped too.
Spent the last 3 days running on the flat around Stockton and Middlesbrough (66mins, 84ish mins not finding 'boro Parkrun, 40ish mins) - can't wait until I get my wheels and can head off into the North York Moors - I can see them but they're a bit inaccessible at the mo'!
I will NOT become a road runner!
Nice one Steve :thumbup:Quote:

Thats a pity, i ran the Edale Skyline yesterday and could have left those Walshes under a rock on Lose Hill for you. Posted them this morning instead....i think they are a pair of 3's and 3.5's....check for spiders before useQuote:

PS would be nice to meet up for a run sometime. Out of action for a couple of weeks now but late Sept onwards. Also thinking of doing the South Wales traverse next Summer so keen to build the distance again during the Winter.
9.6 miles. Saltaire over the moors to Burley. Wet, windy & autumnal. Only spoilt by my constant companion....my grumbling stomach.
Same race as ian dp yesterday, just a few minutes slower and a with a couple of tumbles in sight of the finish.
Short but hilly run with the dog this afternoon. 3 miles and lots of feet of climb, along with a swim (for the dog, not me) in the river loxley.
Paul was award a cake fo best tumble in bracken in the race series...:)Quote:

5km 'warm up' then 6x800m(80sec rec[20walk;60jog]) in the local park. Flat.
30mins in gym, 150 squats, a few minutes sat on an enormous Swiss Ball plus five minutes wandering about lost in the hotel corridors trying to explain to the lad who looks after the gym the difference between 'lift' and 'left' :o
Another half hour in hotel gym earlier today including a few 'Friday efforts' :o
a 12 miler with 2200ft ascent to round of a 40+ mile week
Last nights Gin did not help
well its been ages since i have been able to write in this thread due to an injury but i did 3.5 miles at 8min/mile pace today and it felt awesome just to be able to run again and no flare ups either.
My standard 30mins in hotel gym plus something that is becoming a bit of an addiction: wobbling about, balancing on a Swiss Ball. 130squats too
I started off on the treadmill and it felt a bit odd because the machines here in Bangladesh measure in imperial miles etc, whereas China has obviously been brought into line with Breezian policy and they use kilometers :closed:
Reverse of the Settle Loop with Justin Timberworks, a bit of extra hillwork thrown in at the end for the sake of masochism.
The field section of the run was nearly as muddy as the Great Westmorland Trail yesterday. 1hr 45mins.
Mickleden Straddle from Iron Gates CP. 12.8 miles with 2650 ups and downs in just under 2:26. Nice.
Always good to return from injury, well done.Quote:

Hey ZM I saw you - it was me climbing up one of the limestone crags beside Attermire Scar.... with the deranged friend waving and yahooing :) :). And yeah my run today did take a bit of an oddball route!Quote:

Yep, figured it was you. I was in the white tee, starting to enjoy myself after toiling round with dead legs, think my mate was beginning to flag a bit.Quote:

7 miles along the sand/mud last night. On the return leg I headed out from shore to scare myself a bit. It was remarkably enjoyable to run along the sand, a few hundred metres out from the sea wall, with a little pool of headtorch light in front of me.
10 miles 1700' partially wind assisted mudfest run today :D
Relatively brisk 2miles on treadmill this morning. 5mins sat on Swiss Ball cooling down
