Great to see you running Simon
Two steady kilometre-ish dog walks for me today only. Chemo not horrendous but planning a tail-walk Parkrun for weekend

Up to the Outwoods, 35 minutes. Nothing remarkable, except that it's my longest run since the calf injury at the beginning of March. Only mild discomfort, although I still await the DOMS tomorrow. But at least it's a small compensation for not being fit to run Mount Famine, which has become my favourite form of torture over the last two years.
In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

A saunter round with the tail walker at Parkrun for me
Glad to see that you are still getting out, DT. I was thinking of going to Parkrun this morning; but the problem is, even though "it's not a race", I can't help myself going off at racing speed when there are other runners around -- which wouldn't have done my calf any good.Originally Posted by Derby Tup

Sensible approach. I’ll be haring off next weekend given half a chance, especially because Stef is easing away from me
Final dog walk of the day brought up 10 miles walking today - my best since my operations

Just started using a GPS watch last month and had always 'guestimated' my mileage and ascent. What a shocker!! I've been overestimating my mileage for most runs by at least 10% but underestimating ascent too. Last week I did 5 runs with 48Km and 2200m of ascent. Longest run was 13km, shortest 5km. My pace, especially uphill was so slow! I kept waiting for the ping of the next km............7,8,9 minutes ping!!
My longest km was 24minutes! Climbing up the steep side of Ben Tianavaig, 450m. Quickest, 3.40, descending BT down the good side.
Need to build mileage up to where I thought I was now. I'd always classed my 13km as a 10 miler!! Sorry to mix my metrics/imperial, In in the process of transitioning.
Did a steady run out from Little Stretton, up Ashes valley to Pole Bank, then down the Stretton Skyline descent... 5.5 miles and 1200ft... ran with company today, which was an absolute pleasure and very different from my usual training runs!
Then a gentle 4 miles yesterday evening.
Weekly total around 37 miles and about 9750ft... a little low, but feeling decent for next weeks Moelwyns race and hopefully a champs pb placing...
Friday an easy 6 miles around Wollaton Park and then on Saturday 3 accents of Kinder via Grindslow Knoll, Crowden Tower and then Jacobs Ladder to Kinder Low. back around skyline to Ollerboook. ran out of steam but ankle not too bad.
Biggest accolade though is to have eventually become a Master!!
Today an easy 10k to recover from yesterday's debacle. Reccied the 2nd half of the 43k trail I'm doing next month. 25k and 1500m climbing, total rubbish, felt like I barely ran any of it. It had rained solid for 3 days prior, climbs and descents were either gloopy mud or running rivers, three hours in and on the last 600m climb and I bonked, starting to question the wisdom of being up there in pouring rain having seen absolutely nobody for hours. Arrived back at the van in 4h which added to the reccie of the first half last week makes an 8 hour day. I should be safe from the cut off but it'll be a fight to avoid lanterne rouge. Winning time last year was around 4h20...
