Running 1:45:18 20.11 km (5:14 / km) +353m 4:49 / km
ahr:137 max:161
Another solid long run, was very thankful it was just above freezing and only snow on the ground above ~250m. Legs feeling average, calves getting a bit tight, quads a bit tired, but felt decent fitness wise. 6:45 for the week after missing some on Tuesday, not looking forward to the coming week being perma-frozen either, priority 1 is don't get injured, anything near 7 hours I'll be happy with.

Running 1:00:49 10.59 km (5:45 / km) +261m 5:07 / km
ahr:131 max:152
On the moors in some pretty minging weather. Raining at home, but quickly turned to snow higher up and was sticking above ~300m, and below that it was just incredibly wet. Stayed warm going uphill but then coming downhill got quite cold, and fingers numb from about halfway. I haven't missed that slightly nauseous feeling you get with mild hypothermia, unwelcome throwback to YHJS training days and junior football matches.

Running 1:15:00 15.33 km (4:54 / km) +119m 4:43 / km
ahr:145 max:176
6 x 2:30 (1) at threshy with fairly long WU/D. Avg about 3:40s.
Legs feeling good bar some slightly tired quads and it was nice to run fast. Achilles feeling grand too. Also got a very cheeky comment of "keep going" from an elderly lady as I was taking my thermal off before the session.

42.9k, +930m, 22.2kph
Most of the snow has melted but still some slush kicking about at the sides of the roads, plus it was a bit misty higher up, so decided to stick to Cragg Rd (and only up to the start of the moor). 3 times up, then branched out for a Scout Rd climb, then another Cragg. Didn't feel like too much effort and time passed ok, about 5 or 6° which seems to be just about warm enough to be comfortable. Not forecast to get above 3° for about 10 days after tomorrow, fantastic.

Waited til the afternoon in the hope that the snow would melt, and thankfully it had on the cycle path and canal. Still about 3 degrees and raining but layered up and plodded on.

Running 42:38 7.26 km (5:53 / km) +120m 5:26 / km
About 6-8 inches of snow overnight, obviously not ideal for the achilles. Did a bit on the main road but got plastered in slush by a few lorries so then jogged back on the cycle path which was slippy and slushy. Shorter than the planned 70-75 + intervals but no worries, main thing was the achilles felt fine. Got a fairly bad L patella twinge after the initial descent but settled down ok eventually.
