9.5 miles up & down Simons Seat at 8 a.m. Very claggy with not a soul around, apart from a chap with a gun ! Last time I saw somebody with a gun, on Ilkley Moors, he asked if he could use me for target practise !

16.5 mile run up Brocken.. highest summit in germany outside of bavaria I think.. 1142 m.. followed by 7.5 mile XC ski.... grim day weatherwise but great to be in the mountains..
1hr steady run on the Monsal training Winnie. Trying new tactic when seeing other dogs, bikes, peeps. I say "Winnie down" (she drops down instantly) and i keep on running. Get past other dogs and peeps then call "Winnie come". She runs hell for leather to catch me up ignoring everything else between us. With bikes I call "Winnie come" after they have cycled past her. What a clever little pooch :thumbup:
In the morning a Winter League club race 5.5 miles to top of the old roman hill fort at Burnswalk, I won that. In the afternoon 18miles over 5000 feet of climbing following the old SHR championship route of the Moffat Chase. Should have been 17 miles but low vis’ meant we took a slightly longer route. Conditions on tops were character building:wink:, snow ice, gale force wind and low cloud we did the last two hills with head torch.

hey have booked snowdonia marathon as my first later in the year - the strava challenge was for a long 20mile run, next month challengen is a marathon - we`ll see...
Good one, Snowdonia is quicker than people think, you just need long hilly road runs.
Tired today, 14 miles @ 6:47 pace on snowy/icey cycle ways.. had to work hard, normally cruise that distance a few seconds quicker but maybe the weekend was taking its toll..
IanR I look at your amazing times and realise I'm a snail! Although if I could run quicker I wouldn't of froze my butt off on the tops above Monsal trail. Flipping heck it's cold today! 5.5mls slow :-)
Its all fast trails here.. in 12 miles I maybe get 50m of ascent.. so there's nothing to do but try and get the pace up... I'd give anything to be running slower over the tops.. :-)
But now trying to plan next weekends trip.. Bavarian Alps or Krkonoses in the Czech republic.. need some hills..
