Today's Training

[Penguin]

AM - 90mins cycling - easy pace.
PM - 10miles easy run

In between I dug half a ton of soil from below my greenhouse floor and hauled it in buckets to my front garden. A hot job, even with some of the glass panes removed to facilitate easier access. Reckon this was better training than the above. (it's for a heatsink system like old Dicky Strawbridge and his bare chested son James are to be seen installing on TV.)

half a ton? did you weigh it by the ounce? sounds like that was a doddle of a day..

nice 5 mile run this morning before work

Weekend consisted of!

Fri 8 miles in the fells round bolton
Sat 4.5 mile belmont winterhill fell race. Cycled there and back as well (and great to see some forum faces)
Sun 16 miles on the road. Had to cut it short by 2-3 mins as my knee really really started to hurt
Mon 12 miles mtb with some friends (more social) then 40 mins in the gym mainly trying to strengthen knee!

5km race last night - it was fun but having never done such a short race (at least not a flat one) I didn't pace myself very well and could've done a lot better than I did

ah well!

How Very Dare You. Ive never been so insulted. Who dear? me dear? take it easy dear? never. How very dare you.

Today I mostly did 10 miles (again) but in a bizarre twist I ran 2miles hard on the way out and two miles hard on the way back home.

Unsure of finding yet another different way of running 10miles I may not run but go on't bike instead tomorrow.

Well over in the USA in New Hampshire now. Not very inspiring running where I am just now. Found a local track last night and did 25 x 400 at a fairly brisk pace. Not my thing really but it had to be done.

Am I on the wrong site?
OK I did Belmont Village Winter Hill Race (and got to see my blurred image tearing past the camera) but I then did Keswick Half Marathon followed by a hilly 10 mile road training run on Monday but then back for 8 miles of off road hills on monday afternoon. I have a 5 mile road race on Wednesday.
Is that too many roads? 13:28, fell to road ratio. This is summer. I must have lost all sense of propriety.

160.2 miles, 42,166 feet. Steady. Felt OK for parts, bit knackered for others. Good 'banking run' for future races this year.
