You bastard! Not that I could run that distance mind but it really pisses me off that you were out doing such a fantastic run on such a fantastic day. Bastard bollocky bastard!Quote:

5 miles along the River Nidd. Starting to feel faster but a cold seems to be kicking in. There's always something!
7 miles round about this morning :D
72 miles on the Colnago this morning at a brisk rate of knots. Will save my running legs for Parbold hill race on Saturday. Back to work tonight :mad:
Unlucky, but someone's got to do it Ady;)Quote:

Almost 40 miles less than IanDP!!
5.5 mile fartlek session including mile warm up then mile warm down at end - sadly all on road.:(
My first run in the dark around Pex Hill using my Head torch really enjoyed it only did 4.12 mile for starters. Took a wee bit of adjusting to get the right angle but then it was great and really comfortable. Knowing my route helped a bit tonight looking forward to using it Next Thursday on the recce around Helsby Hill with a few of the forumites.
5 mile in the morning. (ok, nearly lunchtime when I finally got out of bed)
10 mile tonight with middle 30 minutes at hard tempo pace.
45 minutes circuit training and a 6 mile club road run. I haven't done circuit for yonks but it was a doddle - just shows how fit fell running can make you :)
First off road run in a month 12miles and 2120ft of climb(thats the style Jamie, build up slow).
Visited Darwen tower and Great Hill
My knee felt okay,took it easy on the down hills. I was really blowing going up the hills and had to walk up Great Hill. Lots quite a bit of fitness and put a bit of weight on.
road bike. 61.2 km (1167m ascent) over Rushup to Hope and back... back to winter then, didn't want to leave the fire in the Woodbine.
Good to see you on your feet again Jamie, we'll have to get those recces organised.Quote:

4m to work on singlespeed, pedalled all the way up Ripponden bank, done it before but not at 5 in the morning. Finish at dinnertime, 20 mile including 5.5 mile climb up through Cragg Vale from Mytholmroyd, cold wind coming back into Ripponden from Blackstone Edge. Now thawing me feet out:cool:
just 3 Mles after yesterdays 18, found this very tough as i normally rest after a long run !, anyone any views on this, is it better to rest ?
90mins this morning with mate Dave inc good chunk of Lothersdale fell race route. Stunning morning for running and blew my hangover away nicely!
5 miles on the trail and back along canal. Took it easy after yesterday's 20 miles on Edale Skyline.Quote:

Good day for it but all the streams where frozen so getting water high up was a problem, even some springs were not flowing.
Hopefully get another 8 tomorrow this time on tarmac:(
Only a short 4.2 mile this morning at 8am at 6.50 a mile pace. Felt strong after yesterdays Parbold Hill race. Had hoped to be able to do the Radcliffe trail race but work and family commitments have come first today.
You put me to shame Swoop !! :oQuote:

Bloody good fun, needed a big run like this for some time. Surprisingly i feel great now. Beer tonight, don't have to get up in the morning:D :D :D :D
Won't have too much though, promise. Gonna drag road bike out of deph's of cellar tomorrow, ain't been out on it this year.
1000m Peaks race route, - carnedd Ugain, from Aber to Llanberis, 24 miles 2500m ascent, lovely day for it, so will do a steady 4 mile recovery run soon.
First run over 3 hrs for a while and felt it.
What a wonderful day. Glorious sunshine and no mud (frozen!)
15 miles in 3 hours from Roddlesworth taking in Belmont, Anglezarke, White Coppice and Great Hill.
Saw Rob Hope, Nick Leigh and Darren Kay on Great Hill and stopped for a chat with Jan Atkins.
Enjoyed a full breakfast and pot of tea at Vaughn's Cafe afterwards.:)
As Swoop says 'What a wonderful Day'
Ran a club 5 hour score event. top training and my legs are tattooed with Peak Peat, Scrubbed them for an hour and all i'm getting is even more sore legs.
Total distance 23.2 miles and 3,500 ft.
5.5 miles over the only excuse I have for a "hill" around here. It's the first time I've been over it this year. I also fell over and now can't cough without my ribs hurting! :(
Fab day today over here too. Up Beamsley Beacon from home on 'Owl' route, bit of a trot round by the grouse butts and back down the way the BOFRA race goes up. Interesting inversion with only top of Ilkley Moor visible over the valley
11 over the moors this morning. What a day to be out.:)
Couple of beers now then off for an early night.;)
On the wagon for a month from tomorrow.:eek:
No run! (Again!)
Ill. Not happy about it. Alos hurt my back in bed this morning, and it had nothing to do with bedroom activities!!!
Going to take another day off tomorrow and then see how I am Tuesday.
Not great timing with the National coming up next weekend.
cheer up andyQuote:
