Did a recce of the Cannock Chase trig point route
4.25 mile XC in the pouring rain early this morning.
16 miles on the hilliest bit of the Sandstone Trail yesterday. That's 40 miles & 5800ft in a week, & I'm knackered. It better turn out to be worth it - I'll find out on the Hebden I suppose. I'm really enjoying training harder, but I am a bit tired the rest of the time. Solo Xmas shopping on my annual visit to the big city (Manchester) on Saturday had me wandering round like a zombie until I had a pint of Holt's in the Ape & Apple at lunchtime.
First training run for 3 weeks, besides the FTOP last weekend, but that was a race.
Nice and easy 5 miles on the hills from my front door, around 1000ft.
reccy of Tanky's on Saturday: 21 miles, 4,000ft in the snow and fog
not exactly tapering, as the race itself is next Sunday but a very helpful training run I reckon in all senses
last race before tanky's (5.86 mile). one steady run tommorow and a social run on Weds and thats it till Sunday
Two laps of Farnhill Pinnacle, total c5.5ml/900ft in the moonlight. A splendid end to a rather good weekend :cool:
Good to see you're back home & well DT. I had a short slow trot around the Coppice this aft nursing my calf back to fitness after breaking it 2 weeks ago on a fast club road run :rolleyes:Quote:
