11.17 miles, 2,829 feet, 3 hours 51 minutes: drills and speed work in Borrans park, then Wansfell pike from 2 sides, including along the ridge to the true top, and down the race route through the kissing gate. Mainly overcast, some weak sunshine at times; the cloud base was mainly above the high tops. No rain. That cold wind from the north has picked up again. Lots of walkers on the fell. I saw about 10 runners in the valley, but none on the fell.

The multiple drills covered 0.8 miles, then 36 x 30 second efforts with 30 seconds rest covering 2.07 miles.

Another cuckoo heard today.
