1:10:50hr, Alphin to Wimberry, beautiful evening/night. Great light conditions up top, with the peat being white with frost and a light grey coloured mist......lighter up top than in the valley which was pitch black....headtorch on at Wimberry and back home....Nice run
First session for ages,10 mins easy, 6 mins Tempo,3x3 Mins hard,6 mins tempo all with 2 mins jog recovery,10 mins easy, hopefully a lot more to come...... now for lie down in a dark corner
300m reps tonight on the grass at the club
ground was rock hard
oh well ready for ALS tomorrow now
No doubt better than a slippery track though !!
Last night club session 11.6 miles all told including 24 x 200m as paarlaufs with 70m jog across a very hard and bumpy infield.
Easy 5.7 miles to keep legs ticking over for tomorrow's 10k
Just been up and down Great Hill from Brinscall - 6 miles - half way up, emerged from the fog in to Blue Sky and sunshine - fantastic.
It was showing -5C on my temp gauge in the car - there was a guy at the top walking his dog with just a T shirt on
Views were super though. Across to Saddleworth Moor area, Darwen Tower was clear, just about the top of Pendle and Ingleborough - all peeping out of the sea of fog.
sunday 10miles nice troot on pendle, laces frozen again! very cold with wind chill.....
monday 30 minutes including 6x hill sprints
Monday steady 5 on pendle but no wind chill, still rock hard underfoot and laces frozen again..
tuesday 5 miles 40 minutes steady running
Wednesday 1 hour steady running..
no race on thursday

10 miles on't moors nice and steady in glorious sunshine from start to finish. cloud all around at lower levels but not up by lady cross, grinnah and barrow stones, round hill, shooting cabin (stop for festive leftovers), horse stones and hoar stone.
Brilliant day out
Got an early dart from work, so got a full run in daylight
1:04:20hr. Greenfield - Plantation - Wimberry - Alphin - Greenfield.
A great little run, saw a couple of other runners out, fantastic inversion in The Chew looking out from Wimberry, sunny ont'tops...View from Alphin was also quite spectacular, as far as you could see an inversion, just Winter Hill mast and the hills of Derbyshire poking up through the cloud.
All in all an excellent run
