Time to start working off all that turkey

  1. Nice one dunc
    After the 10k road race in may I’ll be moving over to trail running
    Should be much nicer than pounding tarmac and dodging cars.

    I prefer trail running but this time of year round here it's permanently muddy as f, can make the downhills quite exciting :confused:

  3. All part of the fun I suppose
    I’ve bought some trail running shoes
    So will be doing doing one run out of three each week on a trail
    I’m hoping it will help strengthen the stabilising muscles and my core
    Which should help lessen the chance of injury.
    I’ve got my eye on three trail races already
    Ones a run to the top of roseberry topping and back down
    Another that’s a 10k mud run at camp hill country estate
    And one in October that’s a 13k multi terrain at grewelthorpe

    Should be a fun year if I can stay injury free.
    Fingers crossed the physio will sign me fit tmw and I can get training.

    Cycled down to Stratford Upon Avon for a second breakfast and decided to cycle back avoiding the main A road. 43 miles and only a half of Black Sheep on the way home - managed to resist Pie at the Fluer De Lys pub.

    Some stats to go with the return journey (because we love stats on here). Up hill most of the way home.[​IMG]

  10. Up onto Helvelyn plateau from Thirlmere and as I wasn't into it wandered back along towards St John's in the Vale and came down at Stick Pass then back along Thirlmere shore. Went to Keswick and got the hound a new coat. It was pants ont tops, wet snow. Now she has winter armour.
    Pottered up to Mossdale from Kilnsey today

  11. Physio has signed me off as fit

    So I’ve had my first run since knackering my groin last year
    Slow and steady for a few weeks as I don’t want any more injuries
    Not so warm out mind

    @paradox
    Your min&max altitude and total ascent & descent don't add up ?
     
  13. Maybe because it wasent a circular route and it’s counting the same hills twice?
     
  14. Thought you'd been caving @paradox with the altitude figures bud. ;)Been pants weather for getting underground , been trying for nearly a month messell. Btw, scraped together enough kit to dangle you off some"string". Do some proper potholing after appropriate training from yours truly. o_OYou'll be reet lad.:thumbsup:

  15. No idea what’s happening with those figures
    I might have to try a different app to log my runs.

    I’ll look forward to the caving when conditions improve
