6.5 miles at lunchtime, mostly on snow-covered lanes. The snow's very compacted now, turning to ice but still OK for Mudclaw studs to bite. 53 mins 8 secs: 5 mins faster than Tuesday but still nearly 3 mins slower than before the Xmas bloat-out. Never mind: I've been getting plenty of practice running on & in snow & that could come in useful for the Hebden!
12x400m intervals this morning, which I found tough, and then a couple of easy miles this afternoon.
Is there a thaw out there? I hope so.
Si
Thought I would be OK in shorts today up Hameldon - wrong! Hip high drifts made for red legs and grazed shins - enjoyed it though even though I feel like a fat knacker. Surprisingly little evidence of footfall up there.
6.5 miles on crunchy/impacted snow mostly off-road. Used headtorch briefly for short section of bridleway between Calverley & Priesthorpe.
Whilst sledging tonight....i pulled the sledge with my mate who lying on it from the very bottom to the very top.
JESUS my legs where burning:o...had to dig deep when i got to the top...my legs went all funny for about 10 minutes after.
The hill is 100ft high apparently according to mapmyrun;)
2 runs this evening, 1st one was about a mile and a half with the dog, sprinting flat out up the climbs.... timed this one badly, as it was pretty much straight after eating pizza and garlic bread which kept repeating on me.
Second run was a bit over 4 miles and 1100' on the local footpaths in the snow, which is now sadly melting at lower levels. Felt much better on this one, and got round in a touch over 32 minutes without the taste of italian food!
game of footy on the astro turf for an hour, dead leg thrown in for good measure :o
Strength session this morning then a burst round couple of hills.
Work at midday =/
6 recovery miles through the slush in 50 minutes. Free weights tonight...
8.5m/2030ft slushy, slippy run, stumble. Norland Moor is like running through one of them kid's slushy ice drinks:eek:
Bit warmer though, ran in shorts:cool:
