2 sessions today to make up for yesterday
5 miles lumpy run through Wharncliffe woods to keep out of the wind. At 3.5 miles the heavens opened so I beat a hastey retreat home.
This evening 6 miles doing steep hill/sprint reps by torchlight. Still breezy but a stunning night sky
back to feeling a bit fitter with three successive military fitness sessions in last three days - nothing like chucking yourself back in at deep end
tanky's recce at 5.30am on Saturday morning :eek: should sort out the man from the boy in me!
7.5 miles in the woods and fields around Helsby Hill last night. This winter is the first I've been out in the woods running by headtorch, and I have to say I love it. There's something about being the only person in the whole wood in pitch black apart from a pool of light in front of me & running like a bat out of hell that's been putting a big smile on my face. I've only had 1 minor fall in 4 outings, which isn't bad considering the amount of leaves, mud, rocks & roots underfoot. Roll on next Wednesday.:D

Tapering for the Brecons ultra on the 5th. A plain old 6 miles in the dark without head torch this morning. Came back caked in mud and loving it! Even ran some of the hills at a bit of a pace.
A very cold slurpy trudge over Bleaklow, first signs of snow and very wet under foot.
7 miles 1500ft
I went to freeze my bits off at a track last night - yes, a track :eek:
Was useful for working on speed which is my weakness, but that's a far as it went - won't do that again in a hurry...
A portly six & a quarter up and down the Wessenden Valley in fun cold showers. 980 ft & 18 seconds over an hour.
just 5 miles on the roads
34 minutes
Tapering now. Easy 10 off road and well a bit of road to link up two bits of trail.
Looking forward to the Brecons in a weeks time...
