Just the 2 runs this week yesterday and today,11 miles 4000ft on the waltz route going up the side of Catbells first and dropping to Honister and back up Dalehead before carrying back on.20m 5700ft for week.
well after a 10mile tempo run yesterday t time, done at a pretty brisk pace, it probably wasnt the greatest idea too go for my long run this morning!! With a thick head and after taking an age to get the old limbs warmed up ( about 5 mile up dissused railway line ) me and a mate had a run around the 17 hills of the glorious Castle Eden Dene, brutallyshort and steep every last one of them! Then ran home again, out for 2hr45mins of glorious off road running, all systems go for Edinburgh now
Nice one Rev. Sounds like you're runni9ng well ?
Plenty out on Ilkley Moors today. Beautiful weather, great views towards Beamsley Beacon & Simon's Seat. 10.5 miles. Feeling ready for The 3 P's.
It may be modest compared to some of the recent posts here, but last Friday Toffer and me did 45 minutes around The Garth. What made it special is that it was the first run we have had together since 2008!!!! Have really missed my old running partner and was fearing that his nasty injury was going to mean permanent exile to the Dark Side (cycling) but, no, he IS running and pretty damned well too!
Fab 1 hour dap through the bluebell woods around home this evening. Still light enough to see at 8.30. Bliss! Hard packed trails, low undergrowth, overpowering smell of blossom. Lambs bleating. What a fabulous spring we are having.
