Sun
2 hours from Pete and Steves house. Hit a rough patch after about 70mins where I felt my energy levels dip quite quickly which lasted for around 20mins. Often get this in the early stages of my marathon training as I try to train my body to burn fuel efficiently by going straight out of the door without breakfast.
Weekly Mileage: 114

Bizarre extra "training" session just now. My mum phoned to say she had to ditch the car on Carmeadow ( steep hill coming out of hayfield towards Glossop) because of the snow which is probably about 6 inches now
So I donned my gear again, hot flask and spare hat and gloves in rucksack and set off running up chunal to meet her - International Rescue ajohns style
Quite enjoyed it actually
