[Daz, a quiet word in your ear. Hold off on updating the table with Rob's results so I can be top of the premier league for a few days. Thankyou please.]
:D
Good results, Rob. With results like that I predict a win for you come the end of the year. (How DO you get round Rombald's Stride in under 3 hours? You don't wear a heart rate monitor, by any chance? I'd be interested to know what your average heart rate is for that workrate.)
Thanks Nick. I had a good one.Quote:

Although, to be honest it's probably a few things, I've changed lots in the last year. I'm much more consistent with my training, I put two hard club sessions in every week without fail unless I'm racing in the next few days (I ran a hard fartlek on the Tuesday before Rombalds but missed the Thursday session) and I run 6 days a week. I've also cut refined sugar out of my daily diet and will only eat it occasionally so my diet is a lot cleaner (I used fruit bars for Rombalds). Finally, I think I'm starting to trust my body more and this confidence is a great thing to spur you on.
HR wise, I've used a monitor before but not recently. I expect it would be in the 170's or something like that but I've always been a high beater (max is around 205) so it's difficult to draw any conclusions from that. These days I run to feel. I've previously raced 10ks and had an average HR of over 190bpm!
I think you've just told us your secret, Rob. Loads of training, commitment and good diet. Good for you. I've discovered it makes a difference. I was 10 minutes slower this year than last, and that was without the out-and-back detour. Biggest difference this year was that I wasn't running to work every day like I was last year, and I never train. Horses for courses I suppose.
The effect on my heart rate was that it was faster this year than last, for a slower time. It averaged 165 and peaked at 176. I can average 172 on a shorter, more intense fell race and peak at 182.
Sorry for the delay, but...
Hebden 22 winner: 3.04
Me: 5.31:rolleyes:
Think that's 20 points.
With the BG in mind, training is in hand, so later in the year I may end up with a better show of points. It helps if you show up at the start with suitable shoes on too:mad:
Cheers
OK. Seeing Nick today reminded me I wanted to take part this year.
the Hebden in And Anglezarke Amble today. Will update with points when I have worked out how
Just get hold of the overall winner's time & your own, then go to Daz's latest league table post. There's a link at the bottom to the calculator.Quote:

Also want to claim AA but will need to ask Nick for clarification of the winners time! Winner 3 43. Me 4 38 so 75 points please.
Well done Karen, and welcome to the league.
Well, I think that was the biggest difference between my time and the fastest time at Anglezarke since I took up running seriously. How he got round in 3:43 in those conditions I'll never know. How long will it be before they put flagstones and a hand rail up Great Hill? Bog and lively breeze warrant them. ;)
My time was 4:45, so 72 points please, Daz.
Welcome Aboard Rob & Karen!! :) :)
we'll start karen in the Conference, mainly to give Stagger someone to worry about! ;)

My injury delayed season may be about to start, a couple of runs and my leg/knee is not too bad. Might managed Windy Hill on the weekend, although I heard Rob Hope is going so wont be a good points haul.
Dan
Flag stones will be controversial Nick. They already exist from top of Great Hill south to col and then out along stipplers edge almost to the fell road that drops down to Rivington.
Stagger? What about the rest of us, Daz....?!Quote:

Not sure I'll be able to top that at Flower Scar, as there's bound to be some whippets out & about!
Hobbsy if you had seen me trying to run at AA and getting a PW you might think you had little to fear!

Hi Daz,
66 Points for me from Windy Hill, finished in 1.17.33, Spencer Riley managed 57.49. Think I saw you finishing as I grabbed a quick burger before running off to collect my little one. Were you in a purple top ?
Dan
aye, that was meQuote:

44 points for me
might do Bleasdale Circle next weekend...
I'm debating wether or not to venture to High Cup on Saturday, great race but not sure im fit enough to justify the trip over the pennines, that said I really fancy it again ... :confused:
92 points for me last night at Mr sparkles dark un. Some way behind Danny Hope.
a desperate return to fell racing at High cup nick :/ fully 10 minutes behind my 2012 time and a massive 13minutes off the pace :/ winner rhys fr 1:04:53 me 1:18:00 = 80 points
Hi, Daz,Quote:

Races for March looking like Ilkley Moor, where Mr Bailey will ensure another feeble points tally & then Heptonstall.
Setting the bar very high there, Reverand! Some of us can only dream of an 80 pointer!Quote:

No more Feb races for me and probably only Tarawera 100k in March (up against world class athletes), so expect zero points for me in March. (I might be back just in time for Lad's Leap but that's a champs race and I'll be jetlagged.)
In your defence Nick, you were stopping every few strides to take your photos!! Perhaps a head-cam might speed you up?! ;)Quote:

Well that's a grand total of 0 points for February for me. I hope I'll be running in March. I've entered:
1. Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round - although I probably won't be in a state to run it
2. Haworth Hobble
3. Hardmoors 55
- & I hope to be able to run...
4. Heptonstall Fell Race
...although there's a fair chance I won't start more than 1 of them, & won't finish any. My MRI scan appointment's 4 days after the Hobble, so there may be something worth showing on the scan! I hope not.

Hi Daz, my best score for feb is 88 from Titterstone Clee, the day before Long Mynds Valley....a cracking 2 days in Shropshire.
Cheers.
Andy- hoping to see you at Haworth (we can Hobble together) and Hardmoors too.
Just a 32 from Blackcombe please Daz.
Jebby going well and me going backwards.
Can I claim a PECO cross country race (Shipley this Sunday just gone) if I ask nicely please? :)
Winner Simon Pass 30:15, me 32:00 - 94 points.
50 for me please Daz after a steady potter at Ian Roberts.
Hi Daz - first race of the year completed so please can you put me down for 84 points at Dare Valley Country Park. Winner's time 39:04, me at 46:28 Got lucky selecting a route down from the trip point and gained many places. It was the first running of this race...so now everyone knows the best line to take!
Oops...just used dom's calculator and this says only 81 points. Oh well...still good to get started. Next outings likely to be Teifi 10 and Sarn Helen Hill Race. Then GL3-Day on the May bank holiday w/e- can any of these days be used?
RobF - barring anybody protesting about PECO XC, I've put in your 94 points
philbrynmaen - is Teifi10 a road race? they're not allowed! Sarn Helen & GL3D should be fine
31 pts for me at Grindleford Gallop - the awesome James S-B won it (putting 5 minutes into the field!) and kiboshed my points!
doubt I'll be improving much (if at all) on that at Edale Skyline...

Daz can you remove me from the forum champs please? Ta :)
Hi daz,
Season began in earnest for me finding some fitness at the Hobble yesterday. Winner was Kim Collinson in 4.04 I managed 5.07 for 74 points please Daz.
Cheers
Dan
And a measles 57 for me from the Hobble please. will have to try harder at Hardmoors
dan & karen - I've edited your points into the table above
am I really the only one doing Edale Skyline this Sunday?
Nah. Hes(ter) is running it too, while I'm planning on running the route anti-clockwise with my dog, passing the field going the other way twice in the process. Say hi if you see me and Harry Daz :)Quote:

83 points for me at Wolf Spit. Simon is going far too well.
66 points for Mrs Noel.
Races coming up for me and/or Mrs Noel: Lad's Leap, Pendle, Herod Farm, Moelwyn
