Percy pud with Tom dressed as a camel, after Dave's hamstring forced him out of world record bid.
. Proves the old adage " fail to prepare , prepare to fail" Hopefully we were just practicing for successful attempt by Tom and Dave next year on the world record. Would like to say was a good laugh, but would be a lie. Trying to run hard so couldn't even join in the banter with spectators and runners. Hot , sweaty, sore from running with no arms , never been so chaffed . Much much respect to current record holders. Hard to explain to people why I have a friction burned nose.

My first run up Kinder with Rob, Tom , Dave, Dave and Neil , after a night drinking. I'm not sure if this proved the old saying ,there's no bad weather only bad clothes . We were ill prepared, but the weather was shite.. Horizontal sleet and rain some good views and a warm pub made it all worthwhile . Getting changed in the piss smelling gents with hands that would not follow simple commands was less fun.

Lovely cold day for running. Did a couple of fast miles in Beeley woods, pre the Pud, with 1 minute in between. 5.17 for first 5.07 back. Steady warm up and down. Always planned to train through Percy Pud so will do my best to undo all hard training on Dave's Stag.

Run to work the long way . Up to Ringinlow then along Fulwood Lane , back to Lodgemoor and Rivelin. Felt ok running but really tired today . Was planning to to just train through Percy Pud this week , but may make session tomorrow a bit shorter .

run to work did 3x 10min efforts, not too hard, enough to stay warm. Very hilly route so effort all over place. Lovely sunny morning. Up Ringinlow road, down to Forge Dam up over Lodgemoor then down Rivelin Valley

very tired plod home from work

short run from work at lunchtime

steady run home from work, then a hot bath

Struggling for time this week, so used a late finish to get a bit of time during the day do a bit of a session. 3mile, 2x2 miles around damflask. Legs felt ok after rest yesterday , not running too hard as busy week and busier weekend.

Nice steady run along Rivelin valley, felt very early and very cold. Luckily Rob joined me for the scary dark bit at the start.
