Well there we go, that was the Kenyan hills session, 8 laps 5m/1000' in total, 44.17s. Didn't feel like 1000' and was far too steady for a fast session. There's no way I could turn this into a fast session, the tarmac descent down Carr bridge drive would kill me, it's just about enough at 3 steps per breath. As I'm on the down week anyway it doesn't matter.
I've been stewing over Wansfell again, and trying to plan a taper for it. I've decided not to bother, as the only way for me to taper for it would be to move to Ambleside and eat geese.
7m/1800' on the Bolton Abbey estate today, a tough loop of Barden Fell beginning with the climb up Hammerthorn Gate. I took the lot at 2 steps/breath and was still going very well at the end. I had hoped for a parkrun on saturday, but my intentions were derailleured by the delayed aspect of DOMS. It seems my thrusday session worked my calves a bit, but took a day to kick in.
Ended up with an efforts session on tuesday night with horsforth harriers, some big hills, some small hills and some 600s. It turns out i can do at least one extra than the rest of the group and finish at the same time. Don't know what to do tonight now.
Another fast session tonight, but called it early when calf soreness kicked in, i want to get a parkrun on Saturday.
6x450m (94, 94, 93, 94, 93, 92s)
Started off easier than normal and kept it very tight with the times. A good little session, was blowing quite hard on the last three.
Chevin forest parkrun on saturday, 21.20, should be around the 21m mark for this course so still suffering from phlegm in my lungs from the recent flu. It's a tough one for me, not a great deal of flat and no usable descents. Bramley was cancelled due to ice.
50m ride up to the craven arms today, great to be standing by the fire drinking beer again. Felt it a bit as i haven't been out on the bike for a while. I startled a couple of dicks with a dog walking down the middle of the road, i thought they might find a way to blame it on, and they did.
Some piss easy hills with horsforth harriers last night, had one effort which saw me coughing up phlegm for a while after. The phlegm in the lungs thing is back again. About 5m or therabouts.
Do you think your phlegm problems are related to breathing in very cold air Mr B, as I seem to recall you having similar problems this time last year?
My phlegm problems aren't related to cold air. Last year's began after covid lockdown ended when i had 8 chest infection colds in the 6 months following the end of lockdown. I was diagnosed as having post viral problems, i was just about getting rid of the constant phlegm problems when i got flu and now i'm back to square one. I've been told my lungs are lining themselves in clear phlegm as a response to viral infection, nobody knows when or whether it will stop.Quote:

Carr Bridge Drive reps, 6x 0.25m/110'. 1.59, 1.57, 1.55, 2.01, 1.56, 1.57. Bit of a lazy one in the middle, but otherwise consistent.
