Today's Training

5 X 75 sec and then 2 X 5 min hill repeats.

In the rain. Really enjoyed them :confused:

12.2 miles social run round Mersea Island, partly on the beach but mostly on the sea wall. Total climb therefore about 20 m - i.e. on and off the sea wall four or five times. Visibility in fog 50 - 100 m at start (10.20), slightly more at finish (12.20).

They said mountain rescue were now involved. Thing is, it's very slippy out there & easy to take a fall. Hopefully he'll turn up safe.

Did 6m or so this morning and had a look round, didn't see anything, took a survival bag and such just in case but the clag was down so could've been within 20ft and still missed him. Tried a few of the more remote sections, a few isolated becks, and some of the crags but no sign. Hopefully he's not up there and is in fact somewhere safe.

Not much faster but certainly a bit stronger, 8 miles with 4 climbs (1200ft) An extended hilly road from the day before, Cloud inversions in all the valleys, wow

coledale round. bit slow. finished in the dark. ground hard but most snow gone.

Whittle Pike Fell race route, then out and around the fells. Tough!!

4 miles and c. 800 feet on Hadleigh Downs. A very low key race. Marvellous way to end the year.

Might not be related but they have found a man's body in the canal at East Morton (which is just on the edge of the moor) so I suspect this may be the guy. Sad end to the year for the family.
