I tried to do my usual hill reps on Hobby Moor last night but my x-tallons, which I foolishly left damp in my car, had frozen solid and I couldn't defrost them or pull them apart to get them on.
Haven't run for over a week due to illness and moving house...getting a bit depressed now! :thunbdown:
I'm a firm believer that regular quality resting is an important part of any training schedule.Originally Posted by Derby Tup
However I may well interrupt the rest later on as its only around -6 in Stockport today.
Warm weather training and plenty of quality rest sounds a good idea :thumbup:

Poacher turned game-keeper
10 miles near as dammit and 1800' covering the first half of the FTOP course and a couple of "bits" as well. The conditions were superb up on top of Pendle with great views across to Pen-y-Ghent and Ingleborough. I felt comfortably warm on top but really started to feel the cold after I slid down geronimo into Ogden Clough on the way back.
About 9 miles at 6.00am up to Marg Hill and Outer edge Check out the Eclipse thread for pics
80 minutes up and around Tor hill then up and on to Bull Hill, the snow is still very powdery, grip was terrible, but great fun!
You been up on Kinder last day or two Ian ?
Planning a few hours up there tomorrow and wondering how it is underfoot.
Just awaiting the wife's return from Waitrose before heading out on to the Moors of Baildon, Bingley & Ilkley.
Smashing ! More grip in the 312's than the 212's for some reason ! Cracking up on the moors in this weather !
4 hours up on Kinder. From Hayfield along the reservoir and up the steep climb to Sandy Heys, down the Snake Path to the Snake Inn. Didn't stop for a pint and climbed steep back over Kinder hoping to get down to the Edale Youth Hostel. Got very lost though and ended up turning back towards Fairbrook Naze and ended up at the top of William Clough and Back down to Hayfield.
Not too bad underfoot. Icy round the reservoir and hard going down the Snake Path. Only a couple of minor falls so not too bad.
4 hours in the hills means I can enjoy the Christmas drinking season guilt free
