9miles on lower Lakeland Fells.
Realised after last weekend that the high fells are a real slog in the snow
Which distance are you doing No vice 16 or 26?Quote:

And more than likely in a ponies vest
Fair enough, thought I'd have go at the 26 this year, and it will also be my longest run for years.
I'll look out for the Ponies vest at the start.

First offroad run for a while today
I don't believe in God, but if there is one, he made today for fellrunners.
Ran from Middleton to Westernhope and along the Teesdale/Weardale ridge to High Field trig and back.
Mapmyrun says 25.45 miles, and all of it glorious. The Pennines have huge banks of frozen snow on them today, lots of it - no fresh snow here like further east. It's hard snow but not slippy as the surface is pitted and the rough sugary top was just made for mudclaws to nibble. This route is usuually like the Somme, a bog trot, and I have never had as much fun here as today - More please God!:D
A 10k on the roads which I set out to use as a recovery run and do in around 45 minutes. Got a little enthusiastic and ended up doing it in 39:31.
Have you ever thought of writing poetry? :cool:Quote:
