Cyclops, lovely read. Well scribed in your unique style.
I have been coming out of hibernation this month too, ramping up from 2 runs a week to 4-5.
Did a long (20 mile) 5-6 hour Sunday run 2 weeks ago from my door (Home-Wildbank-Harridge-Chew-Blackhil-Crowden- Tintwhisle-Home).
It was a stretch, loved it but walked the last mile up cow lane.
Have been doing 4 runs per week for last month so feeling ready to step up.
Did 3 days in May (slowly) this weekend and feeling rejuvenated off the back of it.
Would love to reccie Edale Skyline with you over next 2 months if apt - will be in touch.
Congratulations on your new PT credentials too!
