Did 8 * 500m reps last night, will be doing club run tonight, steady running.
Gym session tonight - give my bot a rest of yesterday's unaccustomed cycling! :o
Six miles up and around Wessenden Valley. 1100 ft ups and downs in 56 mins. Cold & Icy round short grain Clough crossing.
2750ft of hill reps on Frodsham Hill in an hour and a half. I'm a bit tired. I hope this training is going to be worth it...
2 hour 'chug' from Ambleside, through Skelghyll Woods to Troutbeck, up the road to Kirkstone Pass and back to Ambleside along Stock Ghyll Lane past the farms. A bit of snow falling at Kirkstone Summit and icy on the road.
Last year's Joss success proved it is worth it. Keep at it Andy! :cool:Quote:

Cheers DT - I think you're right. I suspect I'd never have got round the Joss without Frodsham Hill. That's why I'm back again this year to train for the BG.Quote:

only 4 miles this morning but that included 3 hill reps of 400ft each. Head torch run tonight so didn't want to overdo it
Lovely lunchtime run from Ambleside over the Stepping Stones, Loughrigg Terrace, onto the fell above Rydal cave, and back over Todd Crag. Lily Tarn is frozen today and it was beautiful to be out. Back at work now.
18 hard miles with my mate Hes from Cray, Buckden Pike,Gt Whernside. Dropped down to Kettlewell and back along Wharfedale to Cray. Really cold on the tops in a stiff easterly. Snow on top of Gt. Whernside was hard going 8-10 inches.
6.5 miles of Snowy heather with about 1000ft of climbing.Quote:

stunning day today,started in wall to wall blue sky from Slippery Stones up cutgate to follow HPM route to Hern Clough then ran back via Alport Valley with team mate Fairy Feet. Very cold with knee deep snow in places, Bleaklow was a blanket of snow. we had to thaw the laces before we could take our fell shoes offQuote:

Gorgeous blue tint to the sky for last night's run (about 5.45pm) and a shadow cast by the moon. Lovely stuff.
Across, up a hill, down a hill and across.
Nothing, as I remain beset by the lurgy. Was planning a long day's run tomorrow, probably going to have to make it a walk now. Might don the crampons and head over the Scafells.
It's all miles and climb in the bank :thumbup:Quote:

In a word don't! The ground is frozen and rutted to hell. I'd go up into the Dales and walk / run for a couple of hours insteadQuote:

Not for me though! Just re-read the 'Pluerisy' thread on here and, as massively frustrating as it is, if I'm to have any hope of a big week next week I reckon rest is the only option. Woe is me...
7K last night 5 of them done as a tempo run, first and last done nice and easy
Easy 5 miles with lots of heather bashing, glorious sunny weather. Great day to be on the hill!
7.5km then 8km of 200,400 and 800s yesterday.
10km today as tired.
All on tarmac or track :thunbdown: but it's the weekend tomorrow :thumbup: so I can get back on the rough stuff!
Caught last hour of daylight as sun was setting. Over Little Roseberry and Captain Cook's Monument. Gentle plod of about 6 miles. A joy to be out after such a long injury lay off. Looking forward to 5 hours of mountain biking and running at Warcop on Sunday.:thumbup:
18 slow miles, mainly street as the sun was setting but took in Rivington Pike.
Sounds much nicer than my trots around Billingham and Stockton. Looking forward to the days drawing out so I can get out a couple of times in the week.Quote:

Well done Joey- me and Chris Sygle nipped out for a swift 5 up Widdop road and back - did nt log our time - might log my next atempt on a new thread (lets see how many people log theirs)Quote:

11 miles 1100' road and track. Climbs well spread out :D. SOme fine snow starting to fall as I got back home.
...see BG Training!! :)
16.5 miles on tracks/trails around Harrogate, North Rigton, Huby and Beckwithshaw, tough going on frozen rutted mud in fields but great fun.
4 miles through deep snow with some car pushing thrown in for good measure. :thumbup:
Smoggy,
What was going on up Warcop!?
Fine snow particles being blown on the wind. The same is happening over Balck Hill & West Nab.Quote:

Open 5 event. Mountain bike / running with score orienteering format. As you can tell by the time of my post we decided to give it a miss. Didn't fancy drive over A66 with all the snow and ice we've been having.Quote:
