 | Running long 1:56:00 [3]21 km (5:31 / km) +800m 4:38 / km | |
| shoes: Asics Gel Torana |
| With Oli, Al and Rob. Parked at Heatherdene, up Win Hill (I really love when we start runs by going straight up Win Hill), along the ridge, Hagg Farm, Fairholmes, Back Tor and back along Derwent Edge. Al put the boot in along Derwent so ran that pretty hard. Route.
Al also took us on an interesting route from Snake Inn back to the car park. The road option was far too simple, so we crossed some small dam with a drop off each side into a cold lake, and then ran through some bramble filled woodland.
Cracking day out in the peaks, and the legs didn't feel too bad after the race yesterday. Very enjoyable. |

| Running race (Cross country) 40:38 [5]11 km (3:42 / km) vdot: 57.4 | |
| shoes: Asics Hyper XC |
| Yorkshire Cross Country Champs. 5 laps of a high school playing field in Huddersfield. Not too bad a course, nowhere near as bad as I feared. Just sneaked into the top 50 (48th) which is an improvement on previous years. Good running from Rob (16th), Oli (29th) and Lizzie Adams (6th). It's a shame more orienteers don't race XC. Mens results. |
| Running 30:00 [3]5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Hyper XC |
| Warming up and warming down. |
| Note | |
| |
| Ikea was really busy when we arrived, and we had to queue to get into the car park. But it wasn't too bad in the store itself, but still a bit stressful. Almost tempted to log it as a session ;-) |

| Unfortunately I didn't think I had time to go out running with Oli, Rob, Neil etc due to an appointment with Emma's Mum for lunch. So just went out on my own, Loxley Valley, Storrs, Dyson factory, top of Stannington, Coppice track, stables, home. Pretty grey, damp and muddy.
And Happy New Year to everyone! |
