Today's Training

[Al Fowler]

First run of 2010 - A cracker of a run across the fields round me, 12.5 miles.

Knackered now - I'll tell ya this for free theres some serious water-logging (thats a word?) at the moment....knee deep in places! Was refreshingly cold to say the least.

I like the word so let's vote to keep it. It is odd running in such a variety of terrain/ conditions all on one run isn't it?

Did 6 ascents of Win Hill from Yorkshire Bridge. Tough going in ever worsening conditions underfoot. By rep 5 the ground was sodden with that terrible icy snow getting more and more water logged. Started doing 29 min reps up and down and by number 6 was struggling to do 38 mins for fear of falling over.

There you go

[Multiterrainer]

85 mins on and around Chevin and Danefield - snow, slush, ice, mud, torrential streams etc. Being a bit over-cautious even by my standards on a couple of descents.

[Slippery Stones]

1 hour 40 mins over pentland hills yesterday in snow, ice, galeforce winds, hail and more snow flurries

not too nice at all really

Thats some big hill reping but....
Steve did that for his BG training. It must be Mindnumbing. go do a half dozen, similar climbing but over mixed terrain.

Well done for the effort though

a slow Ten round the villages. Had a codger in a 4x4 leave it to the very last second before swerving to avoid me on a pathless lane. Yet another example of why training on roads sucks.

yeah i would save yorkshire bridge reps for week evening heaadtorch run - and mix it up over the weekend - one downside of that way up win hill is its actually quite "steppy" - ie although its steep you can generally put your foot on a horizontal surface (go round the corner and bash your way up twitchhill side etc if you can't currently get to edale area due to roads/snow) for a steep, grassy slope, calf work out (a la skiddaw) - or do win-lose-win for a bit of variety.

actually with t he slush at the moment its prob like trying to walk up rollers!

Stuck to the road again today to actually get some running in, so did a steady 11 round the lanes, 1000ft climb in the first 5 miles and then enjoying a similar descent. Hopefully the fells will be runnable soon.
