Can do it solo any other time.
Wow
I did a well hard session today.
Some sort of drill concentrating on improving leg turnover technique
Then 6*1 minute hill reps with 1 minute recovery concentrating on efficiency and steady pace judgement
Then 3*2 minute reps with 1 minute recovery concentrating on making the transition from descents to ascents without bonking
Then a 1 mile warm down
26 Mile today, 50/50 off-on road. Windy on the tops.
Had traffic delays on the short drive to harriers v cyclists (ok I also left home a bit late
A nice 5 mile XC for me today and hopefully a XC race tomorrow morning at Beacon Country Park. First time I have been able to run since last weekend due to Dental Work.
A cheeky 18 and a half up Wessenden to Soldier's lump then down to CLB, crowden & back over Laddow and down to Marsden. Not too boggy, just a tad windy & wet. I hit a mini wall on Deans clough, but had the sense to sit it out and have a drink & a nibble of a mars bar. Chuffed to recover for the trot down Wessenden. Wobbly stiles. 4:27.

didn't get up to Bleaklow so went for a steady local 8 miles to loosen the legs.
Had an excellent run out today, after the first mile... Parked up above ringinlow, and then ran on a bearing to Stanage Pole... Won't be doing that again! Bogs, tussocks, generally unpleasant except for 200m where I found a lovely little trod and my speed doubled...
Back along the top of Stanage (saw a few other runners coming the other way, don't know if they're on here), over Higgar Tor to Mother Cap. Down the lovely fast descent to Surprise View carpark, back through Longhaw estate then over Burbage south (had a chat with another runner about the shooting - anyone on here?) and across the moors back to the car. A touch over 11 miles, 2000 feet climbing, 2 hours. Other than the first bit, it was a great route - seriously windy on top of Stanage though, water was flowing off the edge, catching the wind and being blown back up in my face... I bet Kinder Downfall was spectacular today!
14m/2618ft plod with Pendle still in my legs, finished in dark with headtorch and throroughly wet through!
50m/10000ft done this week, wish it was weekend instead of monday tomorrow, i'm knackered
