Run - Trail 1:09:10 [2] 13.5 km (5:07 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 3

Rivelin Dam. Body well tired, especially my quads and calfs, so a slow and steady pace. 6 weeks of good training in a row so time for an easy week methinks. Only I'm planning on doing a full Heroes session on Wednesday and a fell race on Thursday...
Have been holding back on an easy week for the past few as I keep expecting to have an enforced one with the cold/flue that everyone in Sheffield apart from me seems to have got.

Run - Trail 1:24:50 [2] 16.8 km (5:03 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 3

Run with Greg from Faye's. Thankfully an easy pace as I'm pretty tired from yesterday and the past few weeks. Did a loop along the river and then back along Leeds Country Way (or some path like that) and through as many parks as we could find to avoid the roads as much as possible.

Run - Road warm up/down 21:00 [1] 3.6 km (5:50 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 3

Easy warm up with Faye around the first and last bit of the course.

Run - Fell race race 42:38 [5] 11.0 km (3:53 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 3

Chevin Chase; more of a trail race than a fell race with only one real hill. Started steady along the road as I didn't really know what to expect but the course was pretty fast and as soon as we got on off the tarmac and onto the trails I got into my rhythm. Past a few on the climb but otherwise on my own for the last part. Crowds were amazing though; the top of the climb was a continuous funnel for about 200m and several people deep - never experienced anything like it running before. Finished 11th and happy with that :)

Run - Road warm up/down 24:00 [1] 3.9 km (6:09 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 3

Warm down; much the same as the warm up but slower!

Note
(rest day)

So Christmas day falls on my rest day; a happy coincidence :)

Wednesday Dec 24, 2008 #

Run - Trail 1:53:00 [2] 21.4 km (5:17 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Enduro 3

Amazing day; clear, mild and still so had to get out for a decent length run despite still feeling quite tired. Drove up to Wyming Brook and ran around Redmires, across to Burbage Mines, across to the Roman road and then back along Burbage and Stanage Edges to Nigh Neb and back along the conduit. Amazing orange light from the setting sun along the edges and I stopped to watch the sun sink below the horizon on High Neb. A beautiful run, shame that no one else was around to share it with. Didn?t feel remotely like Christmas Eve though.

Run - Trail 43:45 [2] 9.0 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Ascis Gel GT 2110

Legs felt heavy this morning so decided on a short run where, unsurprisingly, my legs did indeed feel heavy. Short loop around Rivelin, haven't done this in weeks so nice to do it again. Very warm today (although a cold breeze) and ran in shorts and t-shirt for the first time in several weeks.

Bike - Road 1:33:30 [2] 38.5 km (2:26 / km)

Been a while since I've been on the bike and being so warm and dry it seemed like a good day to get out. Also wanted some low intensity exercise as I need a bit of recovery time. Went over to Ladybower, across to Hathersage and back home via Burbage Bridge (big climb) and Redmires. Nice to be out and took full advantage of the new extended evening light (actually it was a bit dark when I got back).
