Nice 9 miles/2400' on Pendle. Sunny with a cooling breeze, could have done it again when I got back to the car but after a tuna but and litre of cordial I thought better of it!

Our club fell run this evening from Edale. Meal in the Rambler afterwards.
Anyone who fancies about 90 minutes at a leisurely pace most welcome.

So.... 10 miles road and trails round North Leeds. Add some hill reps into that, followed by ice cream!
6 miles yesterday XC with a bit of minor undulation
6 miles this morning in the silly heat.
I've been camping:(
6 miles last monday and 3 all up sodding hill on thursday being attacked by midges in the grounds of castle culzean in western scotland. lovely place shame I couldn't get out more:mad:

20 (hilly) miles on bike yesterday (road/off-road), including one spectacular crash :eek::mad::eek:
1 hour trail run this morning steady
5 miles this morning. legs felt like lead - not sure why :rolleyes:
ah well. tomorrow is another day
Nice warm 7.5 miles/1400' yesterday and then 78 miles/4,440' on the bike today with an average speed of 20mph - was more like a race than a training ride.
drove to edge hill . 70mins trails , woods , bit of road . cool day , felt good despite several beers last night .
2 1/2 hours round Ilkley moor, going slow and finally testing new shoes!
Loving mudrocs! So much better than my previous shoes. So much more grip, not slipping around in the front of the shoes either. Looking forward to giving them another battering before Sedbergh next weekend.
couple of miles this am :)
nothing resembling running for oh 12 weeks now..........
getting frustrated
5 miles sunday,4 miles tonight off road.:)
Very enjoyable 5.5 mile/850' road/trail run in the rain including taking a dive in spring wood - serves me right for attempting to avoid a puddle!!
darlo 10K sunday disappointing time due to no taper/ rest before and hot day
Monday easy 4m very easy legs still tight esp hams
Tuesday due to do 5m with hill efforts, did 1 hill effort and realised not recovered so just did 4m , stretched and will do a 9 miler tomorrow
doing langdale horseshoe in saturday.
6miles along the very rocky coast around san antonio:o
38 degrees
thank god i packed my fell shoes
5 mile run followed by 3 x 1 mile speed session. Legs cramping for first time in a long time so stopped there. Are they still called fartleks if they are a mile long?
First real attempt at a speed session ever! starting to take this whole thing seriously, even started a training diary. :eek:
wahay AJF , well done . Don't forget your resting pulse
Resting pulse as of yesterday roughly 45bpm :)Quote:

7.7 miles in 56-28
Generally indicative of an efficient heart muscle in athletes but quite individual. Some non athletes have low resting rates and some athletes have RHR of 60+. Mine is usually 39-44 when I am fit so if you are in tune with your own body it can be a good guide to check for over training/illness and the like. Seem to remember discussion on here but not sure if it had its own thread......Big Mig Indurain (cyclist) had a RHR of 28.Quote:

I ran Tuesday night, having not run either Saturday or Sunday in an effort to shift a cold and...... I was brilliant :rolleyes: even though I say it myself. An 8 mile off roader with really only a couple of mild climbs but gloriously wet and muddy.
Just goes to show what a difference a timely break can make.
I suspect that this was the first weekend that I haven't run since March and the first break from what was in the region of 30-40 miles week in and week out since March too. My stamina and ability to avoid cramp have improved massively on the back of this but I was getting into a bad habit of running at my 'long slog' pace, no matter what.
I enjoy running too much to have breaks like that on purpose but its nice to realise that you might be faster than you thought you were :)

Brought back my HRM after a long absence and found that I am running at same speed as before but my heart rate had dropped by about 10 beats per minute. Thought I had no speed but in reality I was just being lazy:o
Did 8.5 miles with my mate by the river . Added loops into our normal route, felt ok . Pleased with recovery from 10k. still building mileage, will do 37 this week.
sorry just noticed your reply. resting pulse is a good way of monitoring if u are overdoing it. if your usual rp is 45, then if it gets to 50 , time to ease back a bit. It's a handy way of self monitoring.
I might have a go at a 3.3 mile fell race :eek: on Saturday - from Gargrave, up Sharp Haw and back down - which is bound to cause me massive pain. Short runs like that bring out the mad dasher in me but, if nothing else and assuming I manage to keep breathing, it should be another step in my new campaign (for this week only :) ) to speed up.
I did five miles of flat off road yesterday after two days off - this was following a three hour mountain bike slog on Sunday and I was shagged. This weekend I'm off the the Cotswolds for a long Saturday off road ride with an old friend who now lives in Shropshire. Looking forward to it; bike is tuned and ready to go, energy bars packed, camelbak at the ready! Let's hope the rain holds off.
10 mile on trails and tracks and a few roads. Lovely to be able to run and not sweat myself to death!!!!!
