Left bike at home and ran to work and back, thought that wind was dying down in the afternoon? Hair's a right mess:w00t:
7 miles flat round town in lunch break. Good to be away from the desk but road running? Not for me.
8.2 hilly road miles in 1.05. a steady pace for me, need to save some energy for the club run tonight. the return to Warting!!! first head torch run of the season
will try for faster pace on Friday PM
A tad under 4 miles and 900 feet up and down Black Hill with Dan Dan the Policeman.
3m up above Ripponden with hound, bit of a fartlek session in more ways than one:w00t:
4 miles with the dog this afternoon, plus 12 and a bit miles on the road bike each way to work.
Planning to run to work in the morning, but depends on getting up early enough!
Just done a very hilly road session. 5.5 mile 1150ft of climb and I worked my socks off.
Cant get any time in gym or training time due to work so I need a good beasting.
Running in the rain and wind is good for getting through September.
The beer helps too.
just under 8 miles on a beautiful evening although heavy clouds loomed on the horizon the moon shone brightly.Quote:

6.4 miles 1500ft on Chevin & Danefield - including running all of 'the big hill' ascent but then walking some of 'heather hill'!! :)
My training was on the flattest of flat grounds tonight but it was my first speed session since I sprained my ankle over two months ago and I managed to keep up with most of the fast group at my club so I'm happy with that! 4 x 3min 'efforts'. Then I tweaked my ankle doing a star jump:o but it seems ok now.:) Roll on the weekend and a trip to the lakes for some adventures. :)
Hope the ankle troubles behind you Hes, enjoy the Lakes (i'm jealous):thumbup:Quote:

8 miles 1400' in local hills in sunny weather :D
I did a great and fairly full on 5.5 miler in the mist and drizzle with Harry and my oldest daughter yesterday evening - we really had to put the hammer down too as my neighbour started following us with his dog, and we couldn't have him catching up now could we :)
13 end of summer, sun has got his hat on, beautiful miles over Ilkley, Rombalds & Burley Moors. Followed by a mowing the lawn cool down. Ready for feet up tonight.
Nice day, at last.Quote:

This would be a highlight in a good week, so it was extra special after some bad news earlier in the week.
6 x 3min hill reps, but had to stop after that due to failing light...will take headtorch next week! Didn't actually trip over, but did manage to tread in dogshit in the dark.
Cycled 6m to a friends house for a barbecue and 6m home again...does that count as training? Do hope so because it was very enjoyable. :)
great club run last night, cracking weather and views of the highlands. Ahh, and its nearly the weekend :thumbup:
A pain free 2.42mi today in 17:15 using 3min run/1min walk to ease my way back from ITB.
First one with no niggles = progress. :)
Great news softie. Carry on taking it easy :closed:
I'm still managing okay with my run each day sequence - I've now done 25 runs in 25 days and only one of those was on tarmac... and even that was a great run. Not going bonkers on the mileage - 51 miles the first week, then 39, then 38 and, so far, 4 days into this week I've run 18 miles. Hoping to make this week a 40 odd miler though :)
Cheers, and yes, I know: slowly slowly catchy monkey. Keeping some CV work up by doing the rower and bike in the gym, so shouldn't be too bad once my legs can take it, and my run bits of the run/walk were quite fast (first few at c6min/mi). Knees still just need that time to ease off by throwing in the odd walk.Quote:

hill session tomorrow evening after work
Ran 2miles on treadmill, 5mins hard on stepper, 1mile treadmill and final 5mins on stepper in hotel gym :closed:
6 mile hilly road run, legs a bit tight after yesterday, work again tomorrow (At an adventure race at Rother valley) so will rest the legs, Mondays plan is a 13 miler
Did 13m in the lakes yesterday with 4,785' of climb...fell over rather a lot. Ran 7 muddy miles along part of the Ripon Rowel today and that helped loosen my stiff muscles, got some impressive bruises coming out. :)
good effort Hes
only 7.5m with 1500ft for me, plenty of rough ground to make life difficult though
15 miles 2400ft over Howden from Langsett. MS route but reversed route down Penistone Stile back along res and up to Lord ED springs -OE followed GnB route along Howden until Shooting butts doen to Skarrett and back along the valley
Hey up, I am up that way on Sunday; I know you would have missed out Bull Clough, but was it boggy?Quote:

9.25 miles over the moors from Saltaire to Burley-In-Wharfedale. Steady away................
4 boring road miles tonight, first run since last Tuesday and still feeling stiff after Yorkshireman. Amazing how much difference it was compared to Wharfedale, I ran a normal training week straight after Wharfedale with no real resting, this time round I'm finding it hard. Shows what difference having the miles in your legs makes!
3m jog with dog, trying to get the stiffness out of my calves from all that tarmac at the High Peak 40, feel like i've been wearing stilleto's, not that i ever have you understand;)
7 miles on sunday round a mates local route to make a change of scenery and did 30 mins on the runner down the gym at 8.5miles an hour then rowed 2000m in 7mins 36 which is near my best and still had some left in the tank. starting to get some fitness back after so long is a nice feeling.
Rob, road !?!?
Also, don't forget, looking at the times, you were running for nearly an hour longer on The Yorkshireman compared to Wharfedale. Makes a big difference !
I know Jez, I think that's the longest I've ever been running for thus far so not entirely surprising. Just interesting how much difference between the two. Will be nice to be fully recovered and racing again. I still do a bit of road running when I'm pushed for time and occasionally do road races too. Not as fun as the fells but all good
