10 miles 2000ft ascent,1 hour 26 minutes
Furthest i've ran for over a year,feel great,foot still aches a bit but no pain!!
30 miles for the week
25.5km with 780m (just under 16miles/2500), 2hr20 around Bilsdale and Urra Moor with The Reverend. Delightfully grey and drizzly and nearly twice as much climb than I would have guessed at.
After realising that I wasn't going to be fit and relinquishing my place for Langdale, felt better than expected today.
Jog-trotted up to Whelpstone Crag via Swaw Beck, Cocket Lane, Cocket Moss, Cross Hills, and Badger Hill. Have to say, the boggiest few miles I've ever run, sank to the waist a couple of times. Lot of old rusted farm machinery chucked in some of the inaccessible bogs, and a great tree or two.
Ran back a lot quicker, avoiding the massive bull in the Swaw Beck field.

14 miles and 3150ft ascent, first half was great. I then promptly conked out and spent an interminable 6 miles either grimly persisting with the task at hand or fantasizing about jam donuts. I even weighed up the option of fighting a rambler for food but the only one I saw with any grub was eating Twiglets, and I hate them buggers. Twiglets, bleh!!! Never that hungry.
Still, rounded of a week totaling 44 miles with 11940ft ascent so targets have been met. Same goal for next week, I need to start paying attention to nutrition both on and off the run.
Two laps of village on the road in the rain. Four and a bit miles :o
8 miles from house to Winter Hill and back in driving wind and rain. About 1000 ft in ascent, 1.17 hrs.
did 12 miles on the flat :-( but it was just a recovery run which i averaged 8.30min/miles so i was happy enough and it felt easy.
6.25 mile xc race, 40 odd mins gruelling exertion, getting fit quick, all roads lead to pendle
Saturday ran the Otley Chevin fell race route to check out distance and height in metric for next years calendar (ditance 4.5km, height 210m) so if you want an easy run in June thats one for you. Sunday easy 5km on the road round the village
Missed out on a long run yesterday because of work, but went out in the evening. Had a debilitating bout of CBA which curtailed the distance to about 5k, but I did manage to force myself to fartlek the last mile hard.
Owing to a lower back injury last week and not wanting to lose fitness as I cant run without pain I hit the pool tonight and swam as hard as I could for an hour. Really enjoyed it and my back feels slightly better, which may be all in my mind too I grant you but better than sitting around waiting and me moaning.
11.8km on the roads with BMHH. Ate a bit too close to running and had to dive into a hospital to use the facilities. By the time I'd got out the rest of the group had disappeared, thankfully we were at one of the few places in the area I know so I made it back unscathed. Legs and lower back aching from yesterday's Orienteering (for Orienteering see being hunched up under branches).
Fell run tomorrow :D
Three damp miles in the morning followed by six soggy miles tonight, both with the pup. Legs felt tired after Windgather and the Mersey was nearly bursting its banks near Northenden. Looks like my usual routes will be out of action if it carries on raining....
A killer hilly race, the second in the winter monday series and a second thrashing by a whippet from Penistone in the pouring rain.
Pretty much flat out for 7.43 miles 1255ft climb took 52.23, nearly collapsed at the finish which is at the top of the 3rd hill
The staggered start work wonderfully as I caught up with the earlier starters on the last climb giving me runners to chase.
Greenflash had a good run as did Nicky, Straggler was there but pulled up with an injury(hope it gets better soon)
10 * 500m reps in pouring rain, hard work
5 x 150ft hill-reps on the Beacon. Didn't take headtorch but just got home okay
14km (330m) Headtorcher with Esk Valley above Guisborough. Today we scared a (young?) car-bound couple who were in flagrante.
6 miles on the beach and dunes, dark last mile or so. Dune running is SO much fun, feel like a commando lol
ha ha, glad it's not just me that does that!!Quote:

10.2 brilliant, boggy miles over Ilkley Moors. Bring on the winter !!
45 mins running reps up and down from fulneck to tong and back....a right mud fest....
plan for tomorrow is 6 mile trails or preferably two laps of the beefys nab race route last sunday
rather dull 9km on the road, but it brought up 100km for the last week's worth of training (Wed-Wed).
A mizzlely, foggy peasouper of a headtorch run with the hound of the Baskervilles on Ogden Moor last night. At the top of the moor I can safely say I couldn't see anything much at all, other than the reflection of all the mist particles in the beam of my headtorch. Fortunately no werewolves attacked us and we lived to run another day :)
Mean club race last night that saw 2 ascents of mam tor, one from the north and one from the south, neither on paths with a visit to a railway bridge near Barberbooth.
this morning was a gentle run laying out CP's for a night navigation course about 6 miles. very claggy and surprising cold.
10k for me around the idle trail race route. Went sockless and paid for it from 5k. Loads of lovely congealed blood on the back of my heel and mt101's...I like to suffer for my sport!
Ran the same route this morning but tried to run it at my (hopefull) marathon pace.Quote:

On the plus side though I've done 2 hard races this week so calfs were a bit tight. well rested and with other runners around me should help.
First run since bashing ribs at GnBI. Up to Blck Hill from Wessenden Head & back a tad under 1000 feet in 3.8 miles in 41:30. Ribs holding up well!
out for a pre dawn recovery run this morning, great to watch the sunrise from Broomhead trig
7miles on the road:-( in preparation for the half marathon next weekend. did it at 7.30/miles so pretty happy, still to hot for me wheres all this cold weather they keep shouting about.
12.5 miles up the old walkers path on to Whernside Trig, down to Chapel le dale and back up Ingleborough before heading across Park Fell back to the car at Ribblehead. Took me just over two and a half hours though, clag was down and nav was tricky in places. Took me quite a while to find the correct route through Winterscales Farm to the old walkers route, took the first tunnel after the viaduct and confused myself a bit and with nothing to get my bearings and had to rely on a rough compass heading to find the correct track. Good fun though!
8.5miles-ish and about 1500ft over Beamsley Beacon and Round Hill. Nice afternoon for a run out :cool:
up round high street mardale etc today, 35mile for week 10000 ft accent ish
Nice little 9.5 late evening trot out with 2300ft ascent, seem to have spent most of the weekend planning out my running over the next 5-6 months.
Nipped round the full tour this morning. Gutted will be missing it again this year now!
Quite wet and windy, nice view from the spring on top of big end though.
Polished my Third Reich memorabilia.
getting Brasso out of an Iron Cross is hard work.
We will come again and I`m already taking down names.
and you lot doing 50+ miles a week are at the top of my list.
vot is your name?
Tempo training on Harrogate Stray last night with club. Mile jog warm-up then 3 x 12 minute efforts at supposed threshold pace (everyone does it faster I'm sure), so 6 minutes hard effort then turn around - the idea being that you get back exactly to where you started. Two minutes recovery then off again. Mile jog back to clubhouse afterwards.
Harder than it sounds.
crikey I'm in trouble, don't tell him your name Pike!....Quote:

Cold and clear this morning but still breezy, 12 miles 1300ft on the roads and woods around Bradfield.
I'll go over 40 for the week tomorrow and that still leaves 3 days!
