Today's Training

The walkers route continues round whernside before climbing much further but a gentler climb, in fact you can run allthe way up if you pace it, Not so the race route which is a hands on knees thrutch up the hill

I think the race route also takes a more direct route from Pen-Y-Ghent to Ribblehead, cutting the corner that the walkers route takes. Pretty much the walkers route is a bit longer, but is better underfoot between Pen-Y-Ghent and, as Ian says, takes a less steep route up Whernside... sad to say I didn't run most of it on Sunday though!

The route up Whernside that is... I did manage something approaching a run for most of the route. Well, the downhill and flat bits at least! It's a good day out.

Joined Clayton last night for a recovery run after the weekend's HPM. I turned up late, forcing me to chase a group only to find once caught, it was the fast group

Felt remarkably good and was at the forefront of the group all the way round until I took a heavy tumble round Ogden Clough and landed on my dodgy knee. As we neared Barley it started hurting so I eased off, but after some poking and prodding in the pub, decided it was bruising rather than the ITB. Sticking with that diagnosis this morning. Phew!
