Today's Training

[ukhursty]

5ml / 1000ft up and down Beamsley Beacon in my new Walshes

c32ml / 6000ft for the week, which I'm well pleased with

Nice going mate! Good tally for the week!

How were the new shoes??

I'm convinced the UK market for shoes are too confusing now, so nearly 99% sure I'm going to buy another set of continentals!

Thanks hursty! I reckon you could run well over 40miles in the time I've been out this week

Walshes were good. Grip is amazing and I ran down much better than up Might wear them tomorrow for leg 4 of Calderdale Relay

Hmm maybe not at the mo, not running as fast as I did due to loss of confidence after the fall, and my SX2's grip is really bad now. I think I've done around 60 miles this week though, steadily building it back up

Sounds like a cracking shoe anyways, I'm anticipating the opposite, looking forward to the hills where I won't slip and descending like a right wuss!

Smock and a new pair of runners for Xmas should do the trick though!

Good luck for Calderdale!

Lovely run out today - 13 miles, 5600feet (according to sport tracks, think it may have added a few hundred more than I did). Only meant to go out for an hour or so, but it was so crisp and pleasant out that I ended up racing the light back into sheffield from crosspool.

Take it easy to begin and just see what you can do. Make sure you're well warmed up before you start and warm down after too. Have fun

Cool down, surely Tup?

Had a slow 9.8mi over Pendle. Slow for two reasons: 1) faffing about at the start trying to find a route Clem use at night; and 2) came a cropper on the far side (in relation to me car). Shoe clipped a stone and I fell forward, landing on another big stone; my right knee taking the brunt of it . After lying in the foetal position for a bit, sobbing to myself and the cruelty of the world (and after getting a second hole in the knee of my Ron Hills I finished off with a few sprints (hobbles) up the reservoir banking.

Beautiful watching the world wake up, and some lovely views from the top when the mist opened up a window for me.

Aye, see you tomorrow Ian I'm in for a proper beasting

[Stolly]

6 ish miles up over High Hill to Attemire Scar, a quick whiz up to Victoria Cave, back over Warrendale Knotts, down to Settle and home. A bit on the slow side with my gammy knee but otherwise lovely.

[ukhursty]

About 8 miles with the mutts this morning. Lovely and frosty again, keep it up weather!!

Longer run tomorrow, undecided where.
