7 miles hilly run around the Strines Road, Going up to walk the bleaklow section of the water shed tommorrow
Something like 7 miles last night, visiting all the housing estates in Skipton. Was a good blow out though and included quite a few little hills too.
See here for the Full Tour of Skipton ;)
4m hilly road and trail recovery run. Nothing else to say really.

Just over an hour/1800' on Pendle hill. The clag was down and the ground was semi-frozen. Ski Sunday lived up to it's name by being largely covered in snow and ice which made for a more slippery descent than usual. It took me 3 attempts to get the correct line to take me directly to CP2. There are that many trods criss crossing that it is easy to pick up the wrong one, especially in the mist.
Hill sprints last night. Brutal as these were far more continous than normal and included quicker transitions between the hills. A shorter more intense session.
What would be good is for people to also put a summary of their weeks running in one post. What I do (I know I'm a logging geek) is milage, height, notes and effort level (1 (recovery run) - 5(hard/race).
It would be good to look at how people mix up sessions, recovery days, recovery runs, rather than just focusing on the effort sessions.
SO last week:
S: Race. Lostock 6. 5.
M: Track. 14 x 300m efforts, 100m jog recovery. 4.
T: Hill sprints, 7.4 miles, 1500ft ascent. 4.
W: 6.5 miles, 1200ft ascent, Round the lake and Quarry. 3.
T: 7 miles, 2100ft ascent, CLogwyn station and back. 3.
F: rest day
S: 11 miles, 2500ft ascent. ras Yr Aran Recce. 2.
I need to change my week, S, M, T are too much, but I like the club hill sprints and do a track session with another club which I enjoy. but lastnight did the same and was dead, so will rest today.
A Hilly 8.3 Miles around the Tame Valley Park
4m to work on singlespeed, pedalling all the way up Ripponden Bank.
8m home, hammering the last 4m. 3m off road easy run straight after.
5 miles off road,hammered it
Two races at the weekend.
Yesterday did 14 miles round the first part of the Edale Skyline with jodg.
Quite icy with some snow on the north side from Ringing Roger and some snow on Mam Tor.
Today 11 miles around the Goyt Valley with Big Ken. Low cloud and some snow on Shining Tor.
Felt quite good once I got going today but will rest tomorrow.
Need to save something for Pendle on Saturday!

5 miles including the club 'In the dark handicap", 3.6m of fell and road so footwear is a lottery depending on route choice off the hill. Came third and beating the three others i started with so pleased there. Feeling good this week, hope it bodes well for Bath Half next weekend.

Ahh yes...lovely picture.Thanks David,i know i keep saying it, but i will get back over there soon!!!
5 miles yesterday morning around evesham
eating competition last night :eek: (I came 4th :cool: )
5 miles this morning a little slower :o
21 miles on the bike. Flippin' windy out there still!
73 miles/3,300' on the bike. Out to the coast and then back through the Trough of Bowland staying dry all morning!! Could have eaten a horse when I got back but made do with jam on toast.
Thank god for that Ady, don't like to see a fellow Pony devoured:eek:Quote:

9.5 miles - across to Fulneck and a few ups and downs including both Scholebrook Lane & Keeper Lane uphill. Felt really lethargic for first 25 mins then hills soon sorted me out & felt good from top of first climb. (hills/climbs are all relative but Keeper & Scholebrook Lanes are certainly some of the best in the Pudsey area!!)
6.5 miles at lunch time (running not cycling ;)), starting off along the boring old canal in Leeds but then veering off into the much more less boring old Gotts Park for a figure of eight around the golf course. Quite a few hills in there too.
In fact it was a great run - I hate running the canal tow path but this was fun. Methinks (:rolleyes:) a few more lunchtime runs are in order (:rolleyes:).
Humble apologies; using the words methinks and are in order should of course be banned, especially both in the same sentence.
I have run today, not cycled, and the other day i ran and cycled, but tomorrow i shall mainly be cycling, then running on SaturdayMETHINKSBan Merrylegs;)
Don't worry I'm not a cyclophobe :p . By the sound of things Ady runs 50 miles a week and cycles 500!
This Marathon Training is gettin me down, did 22 Miles last Thursday and felt great, Done 15 today was planninig to do 17 and felt awful, my shorter runs seem to be harder and slower despite lots of interval work, hope this all improves soon ! :mad:
Easy 5 miles on hill road and trails in the dark and rain, when will winter end!!!? Tired and a bit miserable after some hard training recently, though it doesn't help that work is rough right now, where do they get NHS managers from? Ho hum, hope to feel fresher tomorrow after an early night.
Jason
7.5 miles. From Rhyd Dhu up to Bwlch Cwm Llan then down to Watkins Path then back over the same way, too windy and rainy to bother going high, on the way back did a 1 mile burst back up the track as a good effort session.
Stick at it Freddie, you are putting in some good training and it will pay off. I'm sure you'll see things turn round when you start cutting back. At the moment you are running tired I guess but it will be worth it.Quote:

Heavey rain, hail and cold wind. What fun.
Jason
Keep going FREDDIE
4m to work on singlespeed climbing Ripponden bank. Finish at 12 20+miles including Cragg Vale climb rising 968ft over 5.5 miles into a stiff headwind:eek: Flew back down from White House in about 5mins. Bloody starving now, need food:D
Cheers guys !!!
Did 5.5 mile last night and felt knackered, had planned on doing about 8-10 but had no energy and felt really hungry. I think a few sleepless nights with with the baby being poorly and working till late from home has took its toll this week.
Take it easy, Pinno,hope you and baby are feeling better soon;)Quote:

6ml or so earlier. Addingham-wind farm on way to Skipton-Bolton Bridge-Dales Way home. Found it hard though think a cold and my hangover didn't help. Probably done now 'til next w/e's Howarth Hobble!
6 miles over Turton Moor with my brother-in-law.He has been doing some triathlon training and was telling me how much better his running was and how he now only weighs 14st 10lbs.......where as im 15st 10lbs.
Dropped him on the first hill.
Well chuffed.
About 7 miles usual mix but did a couple of short steeper ascents in Post Hill woods - could've done with my mudrocs in parts as waited until after torrential rain!!
How wonderful....Congrats Baz!Quote:

Please let this be the beginning of the beginning of running again.
Cheers Merry, Harry is much better tonight. He has more energy than me at the minute the stuff the doctor gave us today seems to have worked a treat.Quote:

13 miles over Blea Moor from Dent. Didn't realise they had a road race there today - I think they had to change the route because some of the roads were flooded.:D
8.70 mile on the roads early this morning in lovely sunshine. Had intended to run Roddlesworth Trail race today but family commitments have taken priority today.
9.2 miles, 7 at tempo pace, nice run today !

Cheers Ady, had a good morning......legs and bum have now regained feeling after a soak in a warm bath!!! Sorry wasn't up to the hard core version ;)
anyway............the girl is back....after nearly 3 months off the hills time to get cracking again......well just got a little Ironman to get out of the way first!!
Well my training today has so far consisted of digging out several tons of earth to make way for our new patio. My back hurt to begin with, after wrenching it running yesterday, and now aches like billy-o. Just about to try a 5 or 6 miler in't hills to just cap off an exhausting weekend.
