Today's Training

[IanDarkpeak]

I'm about 50/50 for tonight - not sure if I'll be able to get there by car, and my calf's somewhat knackered so probably can't manage cycling there then running. Hopefully see you later though, any idea if the bolsterstone road from wharncliffe side has been cleared?

Hi Paul

I've just driven down the road from Bolsterstone to More Hall Farm(the climb tonight) and it is completely clear, I past two trucks going up. Road to Bolsterstone from Stocksbridge also clear.

Road along res is semi clear with compacted snow. short track through woods is snowy.

I'll be wearing trail shoes tonight. I won't be racing though just jogging round.

Talk is that we might run round as a group rather than race, followed by a beer in the Castle.

Nice little run, beautifully clear night, a little icyand a couple of beers afterwards. not fast but good to get some air in the lungs and some miles in the legs.

7miles 1200ft in the SNOW just now.

Amazing running surface...just deep enough to cover the ice, but not too deep to hinder pace.

Oh and size 12 feet help hehe

4 miles late last night along the trail paths in Cronton with the headtorch followed by 5.5 miles early this morning in the snow.

12k in my local hills. It was a tad knackering running in that snow especially when you are the first one on some of the paths. I had planned going a bit further but ran out of time (as it was my lunch break) and decided to cut it short. Came back by the lower reservoir where I used to take my kids sledging down the reservoir side when they were younger. It was good to see it is still being put to good use with lots of families out enjoying themselves As well as various wild animal tracks in the snow I did come across some Walsh shoe prints as well (a bit smaller than my 9s) so any forumites running round the Naden reservoirs outside Rochdale today ?

I did my usual four miler round hartshead pike which when fit takes me 30-35 minutes...........

Pretty deep snow though cant run in it properley,at least 10 inches right at the top in the fields
