am. 45 minutes up and around the back of Latrigg, then did 4 x 20 second strides afterwards. left some vomit for the tourists at the Skiddaw car park- still ill after a race on Saturday pm. biked about 30 miles with random stops while cheering on some team mates in the carlisle tri club 10k.
Great Dark Peak race last night.
Alport is one of the best, plummeting descents and lung bursting climbs with navigation to boot 7 miles 2000ft.
I really do prefer running when it's grim out
Ben More, Stob Binnein, Beinn Tulechain, and Cruach Ardrain yesterday 18.3km 2106m
Beinn a'chroin, Beinn Chabhair, and An Caisteal this morning 17.2km 1611m
Felt pretty good yesterday, less so this morning. Probably because it wasn't raining. Regardless after a solid 6 weeks of feeling rubbish and struggling it's good to have a bit of life in the legs.
Good to see you are coming back ShaunOriginally Posted by shaunaneto
