Today's Training

[Ady In Accy]

11 miles on the road for a change. Not very interesting or scenic but it made me do a prolonged progressivly paced run. Finished pretty fresh.

[Stolly]

To imitate Pinno for a minute, 3.087 miles tonight with 495.4 feet of ascent in 30:35 minutes, all off road and mit headtorch .

Actually they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and, as part of my 'new regime' , I'm determined to do some short and fast runs in the week, leaving my longer trawls for the weekend. And before you say anything, 30:35 minutes was fast for this little route, honest.

Finished work early, out in The Chew for 4pm...Took in Alderman - Binn Green - Thomas Platt Memorial Cross - Fox Stone (descent) - back up to Duckstones + descent - Plantation + home...easy pace 2.01.21hr...

Glorious sun on Alderman, raging monsoon at Tom Platt Cross, hurricane at Fox Stone, peaceful in the valley, typhoon at Duckstones and peaceful once again in the Plantation......Brilliant

[Derby Tup]

Headtorch-lit hour or so wading around the Bronte moors from Haworth with the club. Cracking run out and the log fire and Jennings in the Old Hall was great too!

A similar head torch run for us except it poured it down, Hail strong winds very cold and wet. Joined by Jodg, Slippery Stones, Loxley Lump, Safety Officer, Darth of the Darkside, Loxley Chris and a cast of thousands.

Cor, is that all? No wonder it felt 'easy'.

Best part - stripping off in the car park in the gale. Somewhat refreshing.

[jodg]

Too true.

Great to see you again Darren, pity about G&BI.

See you at the next one.
