going to try first run for a week after a stinker of a cold, hope to run at Penistone tomorrow.

How many miles is the Penistone?

I have done 10 mile walk in a whole week LOL, as in 2.9 mile walk a day, but upto now none of that is running...

The PBR training is starting properly now...6 ascents of the Tattenhall railway, running every step. If you're ever in the Cheshire area, I would recommend this fantastic training climb. It's a vertical ascent of 110 meters which starts gently and has a concave profile which ends up 1:1.

It climbs an old narrow gauge track which was built to aid the construction of a hilltop reservoir. Clearly you need to get the big climbs in for a round but for a strength session and a good way of knocking out 2000' in a short midweek session, it's a real winner and quite a unique workout.

7 next week.....

Warm up, 8 x 3mins hard effort with 1 min jog recovery, 8 x 15 secs hill, warm down Its freezing outside!

[Pinno]

Just done 12.5 mile on the roads in temperatures that felt like -10 defo a big wind chill factor today, can't remember feeling so cold whilst out running particularly the last few miles through the country lanes.

No, will be at Kinder event.... I can run that any old day from home and is regular route for me, you in for Mickleden?

I am. I live 3 miles so it's local for me as well and I've run it the past 4 years. Still get a s**t time though that never fluctuates more than +/- 10 mins past 2h 20m!

At least this time I'll have an excuse - best part of 2 weeks with no running whatsoever just prior to race day! If I'd have been fitter and about then the Kinder event would have been on.
