Trim your jogging distance back to around 160 chains, that's my advice.

Off for a few days fishing this week - rod and pole for perch.
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
Last ride before away, up the mines on gravel bike gave me 8.3 miles and 1560ft ascent. Quite hard today and last ride wearing running shorts, getting colder so time for the Ron Hills winter gear!

Thought I felt a fraction under par yesterday - got the covid this morning!

Yes thanks, rather enjoying a day in bed reading books whilst being waited on by the Missus - for once she can't accuse me of "man flu" and tell me to get a grip!

First bike ride since mid September today, as I've got a sore toe and walking/running aggravates it. Up to Chelmorton on the road and then across to the High Peak Trail at Dowlow. Down to Parsley Hay and then the Tissington Trail to Biggin. Up Cardlemere Lane to Minninglow and back onto the HPT. Along the trail into a cold easterly to Parsley Hay and then up to Arbour Low. Over the muddy fields that are known as Derby Lane and into Monyash. Up Horse Lane and home via Magpie Mine.
A dry but cold day and the extremities knew about it! A total of 33 miles, the vast majority off road, 1,745 feet in 2hrs 36 min. Great to be back on two wheels

Back on the bike again this afternoon on the High Peak and Tissington Trails. Other than it being very cold and having good grip on the fresh dusting of snow, the only occurrence of note was 3 mountain bikers wrapping a 4th mountain biker in a foil blanket at Parsley Hay.
Apparently he is taking Beta blockers for a heart condition and one of the side effects is that it can be difficult to keep warm. This begged the question of why he was out on such a day? Anyway they wrapped him up, put a couple of jackets on him and off they went on their bikes!
It was nearly dark when I got home after my 35 miles, 1'780 feet in 2hrs 35 min. Writing this I'm still not fully warm!

Westwards across Charnwood Forest to the maze of narrow, winding lanes around Coleorton. Told myself at the start that I wasn't going to do any off-road due to the wet ground conditions, but still ended up going along a track from Swannington towards Colaville; well, it was signposted as part of the Coalville cycle path network, and fortunately the surface was firm under a thin layer of mud.
Only 23 miles, but quite hilly, and it's my longest ride since getting back from Singapore six weeks ago.
