Six miles last night and nine tonight. Tried the YDT trigger start last night no head torch needed due to snow. About 2000 feet of ups in total. You have got to love snow.

10m round malham. beautiful. same yesterday.got chatting to a cross country skier. turns out he once held pennine way record and is no 8 on bob graham list. wow! very pleasant bloke too.
Nine miles and 1200 feet of ups and downs last evening. A great snow trot over parts of Saddleworth moor only doable when frozen. I am glad we are having global warming/climate change or it would be really cold. Great.
14 miles taking in Kettlewell & capple stone gate, saw some speedcross prints in the snow along the path below Great Whernside all the way back to Grassington, formite ?
Did an extended route round the Yorkshire Three Peaks today. 28 miles of snow and ice! It was brilliant but I got blurred vision from the cold wind and had to run the last 6 miles in my down jacket. A few pics:

Fantastic run in the snow with my dog this evening. Really magical. He absolutely loved the snow! Now hes being an utter menace and I can't cope with him..Ungrateful hound! :angry:
Looks lovely Hes. I bottled it, was going to do the 3peaks today but the forecast put me off. Wish I'd done it nowQuote:

Did 6ish miles in the snow, 1500ft of climb with the dogs, a great head torcher :).
ATB
Kev
Couple of miles just now with the dog, steady pace. Lovely and fresh out. Got a nice covering of snow in Sheffield. Didnt even need the headtorch its so brighty whitey!!
Todays didnay need a headtorcher 'cos of the snow!
9 miles in Gotham Hills just South of Nottingham. 900 feet of climbing in some difficult conditions.
8 miles over the tops around Conistone in my new Oroc 340s, snow and ice no problem:wink:
20k from Great Ayton with ba ba, over Roseberry, Hanging Stone, Highcliff Nab, Percy Rigg, Capt Cooks, wonderful snowy conditions, some great drifts, nice tough run in the conditons :thumbup:
A great 2.5 hour late morning bimble up to Bleaklow Head via Kinder Low from Old Glossop with 10 more from the club, and a return via Dowstone Clough and Lightside. We were all dressed up for the conditions but even so it was cold in the biting wind at the cairn at BH. Couldn't stop for long, just had to keep moving. A foot or two of snow in the gullies but generally runable on the trods / paths. Visibility very low on the tops, would have been an interesting day for the Trigger one week on from the actual race.
Six miles and 950 feet of ups. Just back from a blizzard run around the PW from Marsden. Eyes stinging from the ice and snow.
Saturday - 2hr run around snowy Pendle
Sunday- A good 2 hours up, over and around Ingleborough from Ingleton. Very snowy, icy and damn cold on top. Ran in Kahtoola spikes, great to get them out and not be sliding about! Good to get back to car and hot coffee!!
12.5m yesterday and 6m today.
Both on the road, to short on time to get to a hill. I'll rectify that tomorrow.
About 12km each today and yesterday, a bit more hilly today, but ran faster. Still plenty of snow mostly, but melting in rivelin valley.
Feeling surprisingly good considering the amount of junk eating and laziness which has characterized 2013 so far!
There was plenty of snow about on the tops above Conistone & Grassington on this mornings 8 mile training run:thumbup:
Running it was not, wading is more appropriate
Distance and ascent irrelevant, it was just bloody hard work
2 mile in Pogu Spikes to check em out then 45 mins hill reps in wellies, in knee deep snow with mutts, head deep for the pup:w00t:
Not much but better than nowt:thumbup:
Pogu Spikes and wellie reps sound ace! Good work steve :w00t:Quote:

No tracks in the snow where I went today
Last few days' training has been towing a toddler around a snow covered BMX track on his sledge. While walking a dog, morning and night. Surprisingly tough work! Pretty good accidental interval sessions, even a nice warm up of pulling him up the 400m across, 50m up hill from our door to said track.
Got out for a run tonight, just 20 minutes trying out new la sportiva xc shoes... But still a nice trot in the.snow so I'm happy
Not a bad week so far..
Sunday warm up, stanbury splash, cool down. Then 4 mile run in the evening. 13 for the day.
Monday steady 3 miler
Tuesday 8 mile trail run followed by 8 mile treadmill sess in the eve.. 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 at marathon pace with matched recoveries at 7 min mile
wednesday 14 mile trail run
thursday 6.21 miles morning treadmill. eve: track, 7 miles, with 5 x 1k reps, 400m slow jog recovery, all at 3:10-3:20/k... happy enough as it was -10, cold wind, on an uneven cinder track with patches of snow.
lovely run home from work in the snow , on a Friday- waht could be better. Only 5 miles or so but nice to be out
Great run / walk out today from Totley to Fox House via Blacka Moor , Longshaw and back across Totley Moor . Dropped into a bog almost to the waist , quite funny really. Snow thigh deep on the trod up to trig point hence the walking and best part was not a single soul on the moor Attachment 6723
Attachment 6724
Looks like Tigger Tor will be interesting tomorrow!
Out with Philly track club today...
15.5 miles undulating snowy trails, most of it 6:20-7:00 min mileing..
8:30 am start.. intimidating group.. all looked super fit, all quick runners.. nice work out.. felt like not even starting when they all started talking about their half marathon marathon times.. but managed OK..
An early doors run out this morning. Deep snow, and the debris from three full depth avalanches made things hard work. Darn windy on top too. Not far, prob about 1 1/4 hours. Fun.
where was that?Quote:

a cautious 6 miles with 800ft of climbing, decided I need to get out of my misery and run again. ran at about 70%. not up to racing yet but a big confidence boost to be able to run the full lot including the big hill which I thought I'd end up walking up. :)
Night run tomorrow with Dark Peak
Some positive sounding news that Ian
11m for me, short on time so just out on the roads. Decent pace, well for me anyway.
