6 miles and met the man with the collie dog that always makes a fuss
nice and fast after sitting on my arse at the cricket
easy week this week ready for borrowdale
Nice evening 5.5 miles over Hambledon after a good trip out to the Lakes on the motorbike with a few friends. Off to get 80 in on the push bike now in what looks like blue sky and sunshine!!!
Bloody tourists!Quote:

Cracking day for it, but my legs are buggered. Ok on the uphill and flat but nearly walking down hill. You can imagine how I came down the final hill on Lads Leap!!!!!
Up Pen y Ghent out of Horton up the steep right hand shoulders and back down, brilliantly fast, over the moor to Hull Pot, then Horton. Maybe 7 miles.
By the way, thinking about it, very few of my runs are what I consider to be training; they're er..... fell running. Maybe we need a thread called 'normal' fell running (as opposed to formal races)?
lots of shifting and lifting at work this weekend :rolleyes:
half hour run this afternoon :D
11 miles over the erewash valley , what a beautifull valley i live in :)
45 minutes yesterday along the river paths at home - well i set out for a 45 minute taper run - flat too cos poorly foot/ankle giving me major grief but ended up out for an hour and a half!!
Not running sadly but I kept bumping into lots of fellow runners who come to my circuit class! lots of chatting going on:o
ran back with one of the blokes from the class and he said to me "I don't usually run that last bit quite so quick":D :D
steady trot round 3 Peaks yesterday - got Full Yorkshireman coming up and need to do a few long runs. Stunning views - perfect day to be out :cool:
3 miles with my lovely wife:)
That's only 5.5 miles on race day and I bet you didn't do the loop out of the sports field :rolleyes:.Quote:

Now, now - just because her indoors is outdoors no reason to misbehave! Does that kind of activity go on in the Lakes?Quote:

1hr road run.... oh how I miss them green hills!
Hehe, I start at the car park, run the length of Horton and go up the steeper route on the right to the shoulders of Pen y Ghent. I can run it all but for 2 10 metre scrambles. Its a faster but harder climb than the race route and takes me circa 35 minutes to the top (as against 41 minutes in the race up the 'boring' way). Then its straight down to Hull Pot, a truly fantastic descent, which is virtually all over soggy moor and is angled away to the right from the path used in the race, before heading back to H in R for a mug of tea at the cafe. I worked it out on a map as about 6.5 ....and a bit so that's 7 in my book :)Quote:

Then had a little warm down, up and down the prom on the cycleway (the one that the bloody pedestrians insist on ambling along) (only about 15MPH high cadence, easy gears), then home climbing up a steep hill, final sprint off the top, and after putting the bike away went for a run to warm down, and stretch.

That's Brackenbottom which is the route the Pen y Ghent race takes. The nicer way to get there which avoids the road run through the village is to follow the Pennine Way like the Three Peaks route but then take the first track on the right which leads to a little footbridge over the stream to join the road to Brackenbottom.Quote:

a steady 10 miles tonight with club
very warm night down here, makes a change , a few more members out tonight , been a it thin on the ground what with all this rain.
for a laugh and to signal the start of summer i wore my bright yellow bermuda shorts
Stunning day today, we went for an evening run from Pen Y Pass, over to Crib Goch (is it Grib or Crib and Goch or Coch?), and then down into Cwm Glas Mawr, just love that place, and back up the road to the car.
Finally felt like we had summer. The ridge still scares the shit out of me, it's a place I've never been able to relax on, still enjoy it, but it still grips me and I've done it countless times.
Pictures here:

I love running along that ridge at least in the dry :) very scary when wet and windy :eek:Quote:

3miles easy jog then met up with a mate and we did another 10miles. Started off easy and it was uphill and gusty headwind. After turning it was not only downhilll and tailwind but we pushed on ever harder the nearer we got to finishing. Looking like this willl be my first 50mile week since april.
17 miles in the woods. Quite wet and boggy conditions, just as i prefer.
Ridiculously eary start but nice to be home and done before 10am.
5.5 miles/1100' over Hameldon in between showers and nightshifts. No racing now until Arncliffe Gala next weekend. A nice session on Pendle next I think.
Couple of hours on Pendle Tommoz noon if anyone fancies coming along. Prob 10 miles and a good few thousand feet of climbing starting Wellsprings side.
1 hour this morning along one long road, in fact the only road there seems to be here in Egypt. Bloody hot, bloody dry and rather sandy in places. Might vary my run tomorrow morning by running on the opposite side of the road!!!!!
a pyramid session...:DQuote:

Think a steady run follwoed by a quick death in the heat will do for tomorrow.
Anyway, got to go and drink the beer.
Yesterday: 45 mins full whack on the Downs, 620ft climb, stupidly hot.
Today: 2 hours gardening and a bit of playdo - missus in the USA for a WEEK so the bairns are my lone rsponsibility!
20 miles on my road bike on my post borrowdale legs:( ouch
hours circuit class trying to teach - very difficult on achey legs but managed the glutes and abs bit........just about!:o
Respect!Quote:

just over 6 miles along the river banks - river still there thankfully - Daz, how have they emptied the canal:confused:
Sunday - 3000m S/C and also the 5000m in very warm conditions at Middlesborough. (expect it's hotter in Egypt tho')
Today - 5 mile jog.
