Stanbury Splash on Sunday, had a good run, did 5k easy today, legs did not feel bad.
Stock 3 miler. Decent pace for me. Just to keep the legs going.
Back up to 40 miles a week, 22 through the week and another 22 at The Hebden. Bike to work today and 3m with dog tonight.
Just a quick catch up
Sunday Race 8 miles 1,600ft in all that wind 1.30
Road Race last night 7.5 miles 1255ft climb in 54.07 Over 2 minutes off my PB but a surprising amount of ice made it a cautious run.
This morning 1 mile in 49.30, okay I was swimming so not too bad.
Rest up for the Dark Peak Warts night race tommorrow now.
12m to work and back, same again for next 2 days then a rest day........on bike instead.
An hour in the gym this evening - shoulders and abs took a beating. I'm sure it helps in some way though... :confused:
Sounds like youve got back into it Ian, is the knee sorted?Quote:

Maybe overdoing it or maybe good confirmation that you're pushing yourself a bit. Either way, they felt like heavy legs.
Leicester is notoriously mountainous so a short five is a decent outing. There's probably nothing wrong with you that another eight or nine thousand posts won't sort out :closed:Quote:

Can you have a fast easy run, cos I did on Wednesday 5k good run

Fantastic day out running today. Recce'd some of the Osmotherley Phoenix along the Cleveland Way, cracking views across to the snow-capped Dales, and across the moors to the North Sea.
Pretty much a trail run, all runnable, but very enjoyable. Racked up 20 miles of the route in some time over 3 hours, not really sure. :)
Did the Winter Handicap at the club. (5.25m 1000ft)
The man himself (turbo tom) set off with me as a pacer and a guide. He went well on the climbs then saw a couple of lady runners. Decided he looked better with his top off and that was the last I saw of him, until the pub.
He had paid for Fish and Chips and there were mountains of FREE sandwiches. Poor students?????
Nice to see him back running though.
I pity Brit Nick who has the pleasure of this fine young man for the Pennine Relays.
Steady chug up to High Sweden Bridge above Ambleside. Lovely day, lots of walkers. Back home to find 5 kids playing trainset in the sitting room.
29miles 4220ft, knackered.com
5th marathon or greater distance run this month, looking forward to a week of easy runs next week.
thats some good mileage Shaun, how long did it take you and is there much snow about at the moment.Quote:

It took a looong time, we where only averaging about 4.5-5mph, my legs started to break down last week from the sudden jump in training so this was always going to be a long day out. We even stopped and cooked lunch, no snow where we ran today although a reasonable amount in the highlands.
I doubt there'll be much destroying going on, not with all that reccying for a little run out in Wales youve been doing! :D
3 and a half hours and 3500 ft climbing up and down the hills around Etherow Country Park.
Fancied Kinder but the snow put me off.
Did the Calder Valley club handicap, half with Stagger and then pushed on a bit and tested myself....5.5 miles in 53 minutes or therabouts
And then went to the gym when I got back, 1000m row, 10 minutes on the bike, weights and core work
10 miles this evening. Then out again in the morning to recce the Heptonstall race route (goes off at 9am from Weavers Square in Heptonstall itself if anyone fancies it for tomorrow's training.)
11-12 mile-ish 2000ft up and over cutgate after chaseing rodders most of the way up, bumped in to some Soreen eater and some Notts tri club on a HPM reccie, Looked hard work along Howden.
We roughly followed the Straddle route but cut up to high rock through deep snow. nice run back, sat in front of the fire now chilling.
total for the week will be about 45 miles and 7,000, thats the target to beat next week, lets hope theres not too much snow.
12.8 mile-ish 2300ft up and over cutgate after being chased by IDP most of the way up, bumped in to some Soreen eater and some Notts tri club on a HPM reccie, Looked hard work along Howden.
We roughly followed the Straddle route but cut up to high rock through deep snow. nice run back, sat in front of the PC now chilling.
Stopped to enjoy the views and do some dry stone walling.
Baildon over to Ilkley via the Rombalds Stride Route & along to Burley. 9.61 miles, 1296 ft of climbing, 946 cals burned, 8.56 avg. minute mileing, 1.25 mins (courtesy of the Endomondo iphone app !!). Great day for running, cold & no wind. Plenty of bogs to slow people down on Saturday.
12 miles over Scout Scar and Cunswick fell. Felt great.
Saturday 5 * 1k reps, good session
Approx 9.5 mile cycle into work this morning (same home again later on obviously). Could really feel it in my quads after yesterday's Heptonstall recce!
Ended up doing a further 7 miles or so to pick up my car from having its brakes fixed. My bum isn't used to bike saddles!!! :w00t:
4.4 miles with the dog this morning, mainly on towpaths. My legs, too, are still trashed after that recce. Lovely day here though: hard frost & blue sky.
Cold but pretty clear between Todmorden and Brierfield - lovely views over the snow dusted hills.
