| Edale up onto Kinder for EDS training in the Mushroom Garden. Slow but steady jog/walk up most of the hill. Feel fine at this slow pace. |
| Orienteering 15:00 [2] | |
| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| Short course around the Mushroom Garden. Very confusing and a lot of fun - would love it if more orienteering was like this. Spent quite a bit of time talking about features and making sure I knew what was what. |
| Trail run 50:00 [2] | |
| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| Run down from the Mushroom Garden via Jacob's Ladder. Still grand as long as the pace was slow, otherwise got tired quickly. Whole lot nicer day than yesterday but still a bit cold and windy. Good, fun weekend, just disappointed not to be able to take more advantage of the excellent sessions. |
Saturday Nov 24 |
| Orienteering 1:51:00 [2] | |
| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| EDS training on Blacka and Burbage. Very cold and very wet. Didn't suffer as much as some but was still more than a little chilly when I finished. Throat still sore so did a very slow session shadowing TomE around. Great course and some goos running, just couldn't take advantage. Fingers and hands sore from climbing last night but not painful. |

| Climbing 59:00 [1] | |
| |
| Went to the climbing Works to try climbing for the first time. Was fun and had a good time. Spent two hours there but a lot of that was standing around recovering. Hands now raw and fingers and arms tired. Will have to see how much I'm suffering in another 24 hours... Feeling a lot better today but still tired. |
Thursday Nov 22 |
| Trail run 38:20 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics Torana |
| Think that today is my 50th in a row training (it's been many years since I've done that), but it could hardly have felt much worse. Feel as if I'm getting a cold and was utterly dead as soon as I got to the bottom of Rivelin. Cut the run short and came back the quickest route possible (but very slowly). Now I want to sleep. Hope that it's just this infamous '2 day cold' that's doing the rounds... |

| Terrain run 1:20:00 [3] | |
| shoes: VJ Falcons |
| Wharncliffe with Camel. Started off trying to run in the forest but gave up after 15 minutes of bracken and brambles and headed for the open and the nicer bits of forest on the far side. Quite slow but some tough bits of high legs and a few hills. Fun. |
Tuesday Nov 20 |
| Road run 54:00 [3] | |
| slept:8.0 weight:70kg shoes: Ascis Gel GT 2110 |
| Cold wet run in the dark, was fun though, although my knee wasn't so keen on the tarmac running downhill. Hunters Bar - Ecclesall Road - Hangingwater - top of Fulwood and Crosspool. Nice enough route with two long hills. |
| Strength exercises 7:00 [3] | |

Monday Nov 19 |
| Circuits 40:00 [4] | |
| slept:8.0 weight:70kg shoes: Asics Gel GT 1120 07 |
| New routine, 8 sets of 5 exercises, still 45-15 but much harder with similar exercises backing onto each other. Tired starting so was struggling through most of it, especially the dips. |
| Warm up/down 20:00 [2] | |
