62 on the bike this morning, a bit on the frosty side on the back roads hence 3 offs (not me). Run, bike, bike run is the plan for the next 4 days, hope the rain stays away.

10 x 1.30 min hill reps with same recovery on the way down over Copley,Stalybridge
About an hour doing a good chunk (as far as I can make out never having actually run the race) of the Settle Hills fell race route, albeit in reverse. Last half in the dark having seen a blood red sun set going down over Pendle Hill on the horizon :)
45 mins in very heavy snow and a temp of -10. I cant say I enjoyed it to be honest. I need to invest in some better cold weather gear
Ran round the resers tonight. No snow ajohns!!!!
HURRAH.
I jogged for 15 mins.........first outing after 9 smegging weeks of hamstring hell.
Ice attached I sit here smiling wistfully: are there still fells out there??
A touch over an hour up a frosty Pendle hill this morning, pretty hard under foot. Didn't see another soul. Bit of mist lurking so no views to be had.
4.5 Mile on the Canal around Hyde at lunchtime with the middle Two Miles at 6.50 Pace. :)
14 mile round the 1st Half of Edale, very hard under foot, and a good wind chill factor and only about 150yards visability.
Good company though with the Flying Swoop, Tea & Cake, Mrs Stagger and John Mac from Rossendale.
5 miles on the road. Lovely, if you like cars, bikes and trucks!
a lovely fell run last night around luvshacks back garden under the clear sky, then home , no sleep after then work all day then 8 miles with the dog just

19-ish miles very frosty miles with AJF over the hills along Howden edge, about 2,200ft in 4.00 hours . We could have gone a bit faster with ice skates but it was beautiful up there.

I forgot to train, but carried a bag of shopping from the supermarket by way of compensation. Could see the fells though.
81 fairly cold miles on the bike up to Ribblehead & Ingleton at 17.5 average. Back up that way for a run either Monday or Wednesday.
nice 9 miler off road today with about 1500 ft ascent
about 25 mile for the week,which is alot for me :D
Well done Fleeter. Its all coming back now.
I,ve just done a steady 4 mile on roads and it's chilly.
I'll second that, well done Fleeter and, yes Stagger, its chilly. Done the Stoop today and ran like a frozen slug, enjoyed it though, hope you'll all wait for me on the 28th. Went downhill fast though, story of my life:eek:Quote:

I did the Stoops race today. A bit trecharous under foot in places due to frozen ground and swamp like bogs. Good run out today though enjoyed it.
Did the Bolsover 10km today. Pleased with 33:18 given it was classed as undulating. Wasn't impressed with my road-race shoes I got for £20 from TK Max (fila?)specially for the race - shite! Caused me to slip over on a corner losing a bit of time.
from glenridding to helvellyn in the dark tonight......wohooooooo.
Too damn icy to reach the top of helvellyn..only about 5 minutes from top and had to turn back. Wise move.... retraced our steps. Slippy as ....hell..
Good to have layers of winter gear on up there....
the grisedale horseshoe wasnt meant to be tonight!!!
4 mile round the resers in Tintwistle
felt crap tonight but my lad dragged me out for a run with the dog
8 miles over the hills trudging behind my son and the dog. Felt very proud at the end of the run as thats the furthest my boy has ever ran , not bad for a 14yr old and i had a tear in my eye as i banged the mud off the walsh's
Excellent effort by Young Daz,:) pity about the old man:o
Hill reps for me tonight 1000" and 4.5 mile
Starting to really enjoy training again;)
45 mins stomping through the snow on the country roads around my house. Hard work and had to wrap up really warm. When I got back spent an hour shovelling snow which was exhausting
Went outside this morning at 7.00am to warm the car up and noticed on the thermometer that the temp was -21C !! brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And i thought it was cold over here at the moment ajohns !!Quote:

Very enjoyable 11 miles/2150' around Crummack Dale, Ingleborough and Thwaites Scar - bit of blue sky but lots of haze so not brilliant for taking pics but I have uploaded one I took anyway - Looking across Ribblesdale from Sulber Gate. New Paramo windproof smock felt comfotable but no nasty winds to put it through it's paces.
Just where abouts in Glossop is your house???Quote:

Nice run round nature reserve, Arnfield, Lees Hill, Hobson Moor. You're right about the wind, v cold by HM trig point! Very hard underfoot, get away with road shoes most of the way, should be re-freezing by 3.00pm!!Quote:
