30min recovery run after last nights hard club session. The run was on the beach outside my house, now it is often very soft in parts and you can lose your trainer in the sand where the tide has recently gone out,, but today ive never known anything like it on this beach, I was running along and went shin deep into the quick sand, quite unnerving as ive never known it like that, I hastily retreated up toward the high tide linebeautiful calm, serene sea today

15.2m 6700ft, cracking half day on't hill
I did some hill reps up and down Win Hill via Parkin Clough. 5 ascents and 4200 feet over 7 miles. I managed to see most of the front runners in the new tour of The Peak race toiling up Parkin at around 32 miles, good luck to them!
10 mile club champ' road race, I was 2 minutes faster than last year, but still only came second.

Very short (a bit under 2km) run last night trying out new Evoskins... mostly becasuse it was raining so hard I didn't want to get other shoes soaked! surprisingly nice to run in on the roads, think it'll take a while to get up to decent distances though.
Poor run today, I chronically over-ate at lunch so felt hugely slow and bloated but had to get out as Mrs E is on nights tonight and if I'd have waited any later I'd not get back in time to take over parenting duties. Think it was about 7km, plenty of hills in nearly 50 minutes so probably my slowest run in ages. Still better than nowt though!
Just a tough little hill session 3.1m (5k) 1530' (460m) up and down Blackstone edge 3 times.
Got wet but it felt warm enough.
Went up OK still a poor descender though![]()
5mile up beach then back down the cliff tops into a strong strong winbut felt great, something clicked into place today after a couple of weeks consistent training
cant wait to race again

Sounds good Rev ! Better than my 8.5 around Ilkley Moor. Sick after 200 yards, swallowd a fly after 400 yards & went over on my ankle after about 3 miles. Still, a pint of Nightmare in Bar T'At afterwards made up for it.
a very steady 3 mile jog tonight, 1st run in a month after breaking collar bone. Very little pain more like just a bit of discomfort so hopefully back to normal soon.
