Today's Training

[IanDarkpeak]

cold wind out there today and decidedly wetter underfoot than last week. but no rain thankfully.

Bleaklow!! yes Tanky's is getting nearer and there's talk of the High Peak Marathon again.

From the Longdendale carpark up Stable clough for a change and on to Bleaklow summit via open country. very hard going but we came across a couple of ground monitoring stations checking waterflow and erosion.

Across to Bleaklow stones and then followed HPM route before heading out to Grinah stones and down to Ronksley cabin where we sat down and ate in comfort. signed in and then moved on to Coldwell spring, up to Hoarstone through thigh deep heather before picking up Howden edge which was soooooo much wetter than last week end. strong wind deep heather and boggy terrain had finally wore me down so followed G&B route to lady cross and down longdendale back to car.

14 miles 2000ft but felt longer than that

Anniversary Waltz recce this morning. Parked at Stair village Hall and, as usual, the Met Office got it totally wrong - predicted heavy rain, yet the day was great, dry, autumnal and really good visibility. Wish i could have said the same about the running. I'm no racer (clearly) but I couldn't resist checking out the times for this year's race and had them in my mind all the way around. As a result i pushed myself until i felt nauseous, but my time was still cr*p (2 hours 51 mins.). I should have just done the usual and run for the pure pleasure of being on the fells. Ah well, next time!

2 hours over Pendle this morning.

More of the same tomorrow methinks.

Knee feeling good so smile on face.

bit of a mistake

took myself off to north downs for a 22-miler

hamstring murdering me a mile in

hobble-jogged for 6-7 miles, thought I'd ran through it, tried to run properly, worked for a bit

hammy came back with avengeance, went for a bad fall with about 8 miles to go, could hardly lift my foot

kept going - wish i hadn't - feel like I've been run over by the slag brothers in the bouldermobile

XC Relay
