Short 4m with dog tonight, 72m/13000ft for the week, rest day tomorrow apart from cycling to work and back.
40 mins lunch ride on the fixie....
17.4km/560m taking in the first bit of the Clay Bank East Race before dropping towards Ingleby Greenhow to take on The Incline
Attachment 6192,
1.24km/213m and all runnable. Steady in 9.48 - just a scouting mission for some future tortuous sessions - before heading back via the Urra Moor Trig.
Very pleased housemate made a big Sausage casserole (insert euphemism here) for dinner.
12.5 miles in driving rain on Rombalds and Burley moor
20.5km miles on the moors and woods above Ayton. Managed to fing 740m of vert as well! Easy for the next fornight - excepting Saunders and Wasdale! All roads lead to Borrowdale!
2nd Snowdon race recce done; exactly (give or take a second) the same time as last time; 1:47. Descents still need work. First outing for new Salomon fellcross shoes, quite pleased with them.
3 full climbs of Mt Famine,4reps of the steep Kinder Trog climb from the Sett and 12 reps of the last bit of South Head.
2 and a half hours and about 5500 ft of climbing all in the rain and fog.
Must say I've had more fun on the fells but good last hard run before Wasdale
First day of my summer hols (god bless Shipley College !). Started it as I do every year, with a steady 9.3 mile trot up Smons Seat. I never tire of the view at the top. Happy days............
Quick mile swim at local Gym in lunch hour, loosened up the legs a treat
Quick 4 or 5 km this morning, followed by toughest session of the year this afternoon:
Spent an hour in a giant teddy bear suit at our library, so hot in there! Particularly when a toddler tried to feed the bear and blocked my ventilation/mouth/vision with a rice cake...
Seen the pics just waiting for an explanation....Quote:

Nice evening run around swinsty reservoir trails with Martyn P, Helen P, Stef F and Derby Tup, did approx 9 miles in total and nice and muddy, ate too many crisps, pork scratchings and peanuts in the pub after mind...:w00t:
You forgot to mention trying to save the ducklings ..... :)Quote:

Shortest run in a long time. 4.5 miles on tracks/rivers around The 12 Apostles on Ilkley Moor. Absolutely brilliant fun in weather like this. Not a soul to be seen. First time in the Mudclaw
272's......what a great shoe. Much more grip than the X-Talons.
Having just returned from Sheffield Uni Sports science lab where I've been doing a heat stress test, I can honestly say I've discovered the reason behind the saying "Tight Arsed YorkshireMan"! I've been shaved for electrodes on my chest nr Left nipple and seeing as it was in the heat chamber they needed to monitor my core temp, I'm not going to go into any details where the thermometer was but the sun doesn't shine there...!!!
Max HR hit 189 but they missed my hand signal to speed up for the last minute so still probably 191-2
36 degrees heat and high humidity, 5k in 19.20
I've got to go back and run 2 10k's over the next two weeks in similar conditions...
17m/3010ft from Ripponden to Bacup. Felt a bit peckish in Tod so called in at Morrison's for a Ham and Mozarella panini, didn't realise it came with chips and salad, bonus:thumbup:
An easy 8 miles along The Grantham canal.
Did a chunk of the Lakeland 100 yesterday, Coniston to Threlkeld. 41.5 miles and about 10,000ft. That was straight off my eTrex though, I'd be surprised if we actually took in that much height.Quote:

Martyn, we met at the pub at Boot en route to Blencathra, I hope your day went well. My Garmin showed 41 miles with 10,000 ft of ascent, so your eTrex reading must be accurate. There is a lot of climbing on that section, the road book says the total ascent for that leg is 10,183 ft.
Good luck with the remainder of your preparation for the 100.
Hello Steve, thanks for that ... I've had some debatable results from that device before (it's one of the new eTrex 30s) so I'm pleased to have it validated a bit. Yes, it was a cracking day - was getting a bit weary by the time we got to Threlkeld though. I'm not actually doing the 100 myself .... the lads I was running with are, it's a formidable challenge and like you say there is a lot of climb early on - seriously boggy in places too. Very best of luck, I might give it a go next year.

A quick 6 miles over Scout Scar from Kendal. Warm and sunny. Its not now.:thunbdown:
5k in 18mins 19s followed by chest, back and legs on the weights.
A six mile walk, with the occasional very gentle trot. Calf feeling a lot better. Was quite nice to be walking round a route I normally run round and get to see it properly!
6m to work, 6m home, all road:thunbdown:
On the positive side I've got some Hoka One One Bondi b's, they're that comfy my legs feel like I've done nowt, may wear them for the second half of the L100, if I get that far. Be positive man, of course you will:)
Be positive man... course you will!:thumbup:
That's what I said:wink:Quote:
