3 mile warm up
5 x 1min 45secs effort up 'the Saucer' in ankle deep snow, off a jog back recovery. Awful under foot and hard on the chest with the cold air filling your lungs! Any sign of frost over the forthcoming days will surely lead to the counties being cancelled, as breaking your ankle would be so easy on frozen rutted ground!
2 mile cool down.
Missed KCAC pub run but managed to run from Bolton Bridge to the Strid and back with the headtorch this evening. Snow was lovely and the stars when I got to the Strid were amazing :cool:
Treaders for me this week as hubby is away. Oh and I'm not impressed that the gym have put little signs on the treadmills saying 'Please respect other gym members and do not use the treadmill for more than 20mins during busy times'!!!!!!!
Well excuse me but why do I pay my gym membership???
I only get to use the gym at a specific time when the creche is on!
I can't even do a 5k in that time :(
Nice :cool:Quote:

8.3 miles/1100ft around local country park in the sner.
3 times round a local wood in the snow, in me new mudroc 290's (bit of chafing at the heel -bah!)- 30 minutes for five miles. A bit too quick for a 'threshold run' but I'm not running again while Sunday so wahey! :D
Nice core and stretching session last night before bed. Was hurting on the last set, but used Christopher Leigh's negative comments as motivation to push through...
Was out the door at 7.45am this morning for a nice 55 minute pre-breakfast run, in the beautiful snowy fields, as the sun came up! Then took my drugs (Vit.C) when I got back, as this is the only way to the top ;)
BMF both last two nights in the snow and sleet - it's great for keeping intensity up beyond what I'd do myself. Like a club speed session I suppose.
With the 25-min run at either end, it's a like a 110-minute endurance run, but with a speed session in the middle. 'Take two lots of training into the shower ... !?'
Hamstring knackered, predictably.
Just been round my 1hr30min route again. The colder it is, the better running is.
Fantastic.
