Quick 7km run at Lyme park for me today, would have been longer but I turned my ankle and had to head back. Not feeling too bad now, so probably did the right thing.
Glorious day to be outside today, felt like the king of the world standing on the little pyramid at bowstones!
Sheffield Half, 1:20:08. Scorchio! Now back to the fells!
Me too!! Don't know how I managed the last 5 miles. Total heat exhaustion by the finish. Sad to see the amount of people collapsing in the last 3 miles. Rubbish time but I'm gonna be back next year to smash it. Training in the sauna and the fridge to cover all angles. Today is usually my long run training day but we have decided to be "ladies that lunch" at the Ladybower inn instead :-)Quote:

Yesterday me and my mate went to run up Queensbury Hill in D&G. We got “disorientated” in the low cloud.:o My mate was supposed to be navigating as he had done the run before (if I was navigating we might still be up there). :wink: We ran passed one cairn then about ½ hour latter I am sure we pasted the same one again. :confused: In the end we had to bin it as we ran out of time because I had to go to work in the afternoon. Once we worked out where we were it was no problem. Still a good run, and the hill will be there for another day.

Last 3 days
Tuesday- 8 miles along the transpennine trail 54 minutes ish
Wednesday 5 miles: 7:10, 6:17, 5:15, 6:19 and 6:25...overall 31:36
Today- 3.98 miles...23:44...splits were 2 miles: 12:11 and return leg in 11.33
Surprisingly fit
7.26 miles up, down and around the Wessenden Valley. 1130 ft of ups and downs in 1:09:30.
Another tough day, early morning swim, then walk of 2 miles each way for a job interview. 3 mile run along the canal in just over 20 minutes. 15 minutes hill training on the cross trainer, 20 miles on the exercise bike on hill mode (boring I know) and then 10 reps of our block of flats, 5 stories.
I also did 3 miles along the canal towpath yesterday but in almost 24 mins so nowhere near as fast as young Tom!
Today - a 15+ mile/1350ft footpath/bridleway/woodland/reservoir path run at 'LDWA pace' in the glorious Washburn Valley - from Lindley Bridge to A59 at Fewston Res (Blubberhouses car park) via Dob Park Bridge & Timble, back along res paths to Swinsty Moor car park, past Gareth Southgate's humble abode and back up to Norwood Edge Plantation & Lindley Wood Top/Greystone Beck before dropping back to Lindley Bridge - then the 'sad' bit of a short out and back to get over 15 miles (14.87 wouldn't do:rolleyes: !!)
6 mileshilly road yesterday, fisrt run since scotland, it hurt!
This morning was steady run with Brent PFR around the Mickledon. 12 miles ish
Played 3 hours worth of football today, had the HRM on...ran over 16km. Absolutely shattered now...played a Paul Scholes type role behind the striker. Scored a 25 yard screamer and landed a few stereotypically nasty studs up tackles.
Few miles over Scout Scar on Monday, an enjoyable, leisurely 6 hours round Langdale with Derby Tup and Stef on Tuesday and leg 1 of Spooney's BG tonight. Not much next week before the LAMM.
A nice 13 miler around Dovestones & Black Hill. 2130 ft of ups and downs in 2:23:12.
Meall nan Tarmachan, cracking hill.
15km 968m, first decent run I've managed in a good while
I did 20 miles very steady on the road friday, then Duirsdeer Recc'y run today with 11 club members, some of us tried a alternative route half way round, I think this involved a bit more climbing than the normal route, it would be nice to have made 4000ft in total today, but don’t think so, may be 3900ft for the day and 10.5 miles. Still we had a nice picnic outside the church afterwards.:thumbup:

4m wobble on Ennerdale legs, not a good look:o
20+ miles 8650ft legs 4 n 5 on spooneys bg rnd, cold n windy
A nice run out and about the PW around the Wessenden Valley, up West Nab and home. 10.66 miles with 1470 feet ups in 1:47:00.
Two runs with the running pushchair yesterday. 5.2km with 200m climb in the morning, running to our local ice cream making farm. 5.5km with 100m climb home with a playground detour. Just over half an hour out, just under on the way back.
Also discovered strava....
I did the Carlisle Tri club 10k road race tonight, couldn’t quite manage a sub 39 min’ but it counts as a good fast training run never the less. Back to the hills tomorrow.

am. 45 minutes up and around the back of Latrigg, then did 4 x 20 second strides afterwards. left some vomit for the tourists at the Skiddaw car park- still ill after a race on Saturday pm. biked about 30 miles with random stops while cheering on some team mates in the carlisle tri club 10k.
Great Dark Peak race last night.
Alport is one of the best, plummeting descents and lung bursting climbs with navigation to boot 7 miles 2000ft.
I really do prefer running when it's grim out
Ben More, Stob Binnein, Beinn Tulechain, and Cruach Ardrain yesterday 18.3km 2106m
Beinn a'chroin, Beinn Chabhair, and An Caisteal this morning 17.2km 1611m
Felt pretty good yesterday, less so this morning. Probably because it wasn't raining. Regardless after a solid 6 weeks of feeling rubbish and struggling it's good to have a bit of life in the legs.
Good to see you are coming back ShaunQuote:

Bit of company might stop me going home early
62 mins Orienteering on High Rigg, 20-odd mins general pootling around, then 1.35 up Sticks Pass then to Helvelyn and down a different way with RhysFR - easy for me so probably catatonic for him. All in all well worth the trip over for the day!
Cheers! Probably won't be allowed to take the train on race day though...:DQuote:
