Looking at it again tahr I don't think it took 18 as the garmin stopped working on Friday so a very rough guideline but got all the high ground done which I'm pleased about and decent of scafell onto the ascent of yewbarrrow which needs to be done prior I went over places such there is actually something called that other than the obvious
10.5 miles snowy PW fun yesterday. 9.25 miles of the Marsden 10 course today. Both in deep snow. Nice. Sheep huddled together in shelter is an indication of worse to come.
Fairly steady 11 miles from home out to Redmires and back via plenty of filthy footpaths and trods. Slush and mud, turning to ankle deep snow in places, followed by funny looks in Sainsburys when I called in for some shopping on the way past. Rain, sleet or snow all the way, a good lesson in "MTFU" and surprisingly fun in a masochistic sort of way.
Hour and a half out on the local, snow receded enough to allow for some decent running. Nice run out, hill looked lovely today
4 mile on flats roads. Boring but it got me out of the house.
this week im trying to focus my training toward speed, in preperation for couple of events over the weekend, just trying to sharpen and freshen myself up. So tonight I did 5-10mins warm up then 12 fast 200m intervals along the sea front and some strides to finish off with, out for about 30mins, felt great, even the intervals into this damn wind were good :thumbup:
5 miles tonight with new head torch H7R Led Lenser really impressed with it especially when I came across 6 Red Deer in a field and used the zoom spotlight function. Bit tricky in the slush but made up for not getting out this weekend .
Steady 10 mile trail run this morning.. rep session on the old treadmill tonight.. 1 mile warm up, 3 x 1mile reps at 5:40 lowering to 5:00 pace.. 0.3 mile rest and 1 mile cool down.. 17 for the day.. makes up for only 13 in the past 3 days due to being away skiing in vermont,.. still ran 3 miles+ every day since early december.. so kept the run going..
Well I was going to do a 12 mile long run yesterday but after scaring myself silly coming out of Sheffield at 5.30am in a blizzard this is how my day went. Left car in Tideswell after I'd peeled my fingers off the steering wheel and walked 2.5mls home down Tideswell Dale, walked another 5 miles to a client, ran 9 miles on the Monsal, walked 2.5 miles to collect the car :-)
PS - what are strides and how do you do them? :D
This is a good instructional video on strides

3 1/2hrs on the hill, good to be on the hill. Cold on top, verglas in places.
Steady 10 miles on the road.. surprisingly... 8 min miles.. nice recovery.. hilly trails tomorrow..
4.5 head torch run tonight millers Dale :-) legs a bit heavy and adductors have been shown the foam roller!!
Should have been a marathon, but 4-5 hrs of driving and $55 entry fee, then 20 mph winds and sub zero temps put me off so went out with the local track club...
15 miles, 6:30 pace, last 4 were all 6:10-6:00 pace. Nice morning session. Found that hard going at 8:30 in the morning..
Just 5 miles for me, hard up and down Moel Y Gest, nice sunset at the top, returning to Borth Y Gest by the coastal path.
20 miles - Ribblehead to Horton via Whernside and Ingleborough then an out and back up Penyghent
Decent pint of Old Peculiar in the Crown afterwards
Easy hour on the hill, absolutely lovely conditions. Truly wonderful to be alive and scampering about.
Long run on the cards tomorrow after 6 hours of wondering about strangers houses.
10 on Saturday and 8.5 around the White Holme circular route(ish) today.
11 miles up some hills, along a Dale, up another hill, along a track then down a hill, through a farm yard, down another hill to a river bank and along the river to finish on the Monsal Trail (bloody horrible on there today! Think the whole world now owns a bike). Never saw a soul till I hit that. I'm not terribly sure where I went till I look at the route on the computer as made it up as I went along.
Tonight folks I'm shattered!!! Beautiful day though :-)
15mile bike to the climbing wall. 1hour of climbing (bouldering and upto to 6a on those monstrosities called autobelays!) Circuits on cardio machines/pullups/pressups/leg raises. 15mile ride home. Good day.
Not a great morning.. then a lovely fairly hard 20 miler through NJ pinelands.. 20 miles of fairly flat pine needle covered sandy trails... just superb trail running.. just above freezing, cold crisp day.. 2:25 out, nice lunchtime blast.
Yesterday was a hill recovery run. Today warm up followed by 4 x 2.5min progressive hill sprints with a cool down jog to finish. Enjoying the training plan once I'm out there :-). I do go out but sometimes I have to tell myself off for coming up with excuses. No excuse has won for the last 3 weeks. Tomorrow is a rest day Saturday will be interval training on the Monsal trail :-)
I ran a steady 3 miles last night. Half trail half road sprinting betwen lamposts. Had 2 injuries this month so I'm feeling a little stircrazy!
1 mile warm up then half hours worth of hill reps of various lenghs,1 mile warm down,slowly getting fitter:)
2hr 45m on the hill, tremendous fun.
Very tired day.. 5,5 miler mid morning..
Evening.. treadmill session.. very tired but got going a bit.. 6.7 miles with 5 x 1k reps 5:25-5:15 pace.. feeling really tired, should hit over 100 for the week, but all flat running, 2 rep sessions, a 20 miler and a 15 miler with tempo session included.. tough week..
First time in almost a year that I've managed to run on three consecutive days.
Still can't get anywhere near sub seven minute mile pace again though.
Really need to lose a stone now to make that a possibility....and there's no imminent prospect of such an occurrence!
Thursday did just over 2 hours and 2700ft of climb, very difficult under foot, the tussocks and the ground were frozen the snow had a crust that was just not thick enough to take you weight, all made it slow going. It was nice and bright sunshine though.
Yesterday 11 miles with rucksack on the road.:thunbdown:

Just over 9 miles of the Marsden 10 miler. 1300ft of ups and downs. Bunged in West Nab as well. Still snow about. The sheep are on the dam walls, a sure sign of bad weather to come!
Reps of Loosehill and a jog out to Hollins X. 9 miles and 3300 feet. saw loads of Edale Skyline recce's out.
Interval training on the Monsal. 45 mins :-)
Slow 7 mile trot over White Edge and Curbar, ground very hard and wish I had not worn my Mudclaws , although I managed to find the only unfrozen boggy hole and plunged in to the knee , nice ! Bonus though was how quiet it was on a normally busy route but it was bloody cold.
3 mile head torcher!! Was, as usual, thinking I'd not get out but tea wasn't ready when I got in so I said I'd nip out. Really pleased I did as I managed 3 mile in 21 minutes (...fairly decent for me!!) and saw a big corona around the moon! Lovely!! :)
Steady 13 miler.. well that was the plan.. but at mile 10 was offered the chance of a 16er.. so said yes then the pace dropped.. 5:53-6:13 pace for the last 6 miles, nice work out..
430 miles in my 34 days out here.. nice block of training..
Last day off was 80 days ago.. will try everyday for the year, seems OK if I include steady 3-4 on my rest days..
Really wished I had a group like that to train with more often, 10-15 guys, really makes the long runs fly by.
H.I.T. training today, 4 miles cross country race, I managed to be first home for my club, and second vet’ overall, but they first tried to give me the 1st place in the over 50 class only problem is I am not over 50 so I had to hand it back :o.
