:thumbup: "Character building", well that's the way to look at it! Hope your ankle heals nice and quick.

Get this, get this, I ran up a hill today :w00t: Just one, clearly :closed:

Saturday: Train from Clapham Junction out to Box Hill to do hill reps. Up the steps to the trig point, down the steep 'front' for a short while then back up and down.

10 reps with a five-minute rest after the 5th.

About 8,000ft of climbing, maybe 12km in distance.

2h15m it took me. And yes, it did hurt.

Sunday: rode the bike out to Box Hill did 3 reps of the zig-zag road and back to Battersea. 50 miles, three hours or so.

Fed up of the bloody sight of Box Hill now.

the problem of saying, I'm running to the top of that hill is the hills are a bit big round here and tend to go straight up!

distance approx 4 miles up and down (quite a few zig-zags) but direct is less than 1.5 miles ascent 3820ft return by same route to Pointe de Ressachaux 1.37 for the round trip

and after a quick Google it would seem Alan Lucker has been there as well http://alanlucker.blogspot.com/2011/...essachaux.html

3 Shires route this morning, (13m 4000ft) still as a mill pond and not a drop of rain. What are the chances?

Hmmm last night I realized I'd dropped a North Face top on the way down so I got to do a pre breakfast run after a night of heavy rain

2,210ft 2.8 miles, got back as daughter was cooking pancakes...

I was on a 24hr bender yesterday, completely wasted, so didnt rise until 5pm this afternoon, after having some beans and fish fingers and a cup of coffee, I went out at 8pm, and loaded to the max with yesterdays carb intake from countless jagerbombs/vodka cokes etc I felt amazingly strong, like I could run like the wind forever, as effortlessly as riding a bike downhill, I just ran and ran and kept getting faster, got round my 11mile route in 1hr5mins without so much as a bat of an eyelid :-)))

heh heh! good to hear rev! Maybe I should have got on the sauce on Friday night - might have saved me from running like a drain at borrowdale.

Ran up Loughrigg on Saturday evening. Gorgeous run and didn't see a soul, other than a few sheep.

Amazing.
