Today's Training

[IainR]

7.9 miles and just under 356m climb - ish. Felt rather rough so cut short and took it steady until I realised I could catch the bus home if I hammered the last mile and half. So a good warm up, bit of climbing and some speedwork to finish. Terrible weather..

Finally getting back into it again.. it's been a month of issues each hip but last 3 days have been 13.3 miles friday night, 7 min miling on forest trails, 11.1 miles 7:20 min miling on road and trail and 15.1 tonight on road and trail, again 7:20 pace.. so hoping I can get a good solid month of training and have a crack at JFk50 in the states..

Good luck with the JFK50!
Do you use heart rate training Iain?

Thanks, no used to but in the fells I think its too variable, should do here now as its all flat running but not sure where the heart rate monitor is..

Strides in with dust pan and brush. Hauls vacuum cleaner out of the cupboard.

Approx 65.5m and 9000ft for the week. Feeling pretty good.

Great run out with Murt from Braemar today. (Great to meet you fella)

24m, not sure on ascent just yet. Awaiting GPS results. Took in Lochnagar, a couple of other fairly amorphous Munros and Morrone. Good day on the hill, with the weather just the right side of foreboding.

A tad over 2,000m...some torrential rain not long after you left so we timed it just right.
Great to meet you too, I really appreciated the company

I'm in Aberdeenshire 21st dec > 31st if you fancy a few runs.. the missus will be up so could so steady longer trail runs (to 10 miles..) with her or longer fell runs on our own.. your shin cutters will kill her.. :-)

Likewise, me and Lou will almost certainly be heading to the North Yorkshire Moors within the next 6-8 months so will give you a shout.

Should be able to do something towards the end of that time frame, heading down to Brum and Norfolk for Xmas itself. So there'll be mince pies to burn off. Will give you a shout nearer the time.
