Training Log Archive: Frostbite

Still got a bit of a cold and really overdid it yesterday, so I was quite pleased to get round at a reasonable speed. It wasn't very tricky navigation, although the mist made some bits harder. No mistakes to speak of. 2nd behind Andy Thorpe, he did 66:40.

Still got a cold but this was much better - in fact I was feeling quite good until I realised my legs had had enough at about 2 hours. Fortunately the last bit was all downhill and I survived. Possibly longer than I intended. Chez Peel to Chez Chapman via Sandygate (Charlie's old house), Rivelin Edge, Wyming Brook, the Head Stone, the Conduit (which is very much more overgrown than when I last followed it x years ago, barely a path at all), Stanage Edge, Hathersage. Heart stayed in rhythm the whole way, just a but tired.

Had to be in work early, still got a cold and a broken heart. I just went to bed as soon as I got home, got up for tea, went to bed again.

Got a cold, but actually not feeling too bad when I started. AF kicked in as soon as I set off and kept going throughout the run, and I was struggling by the end.

Up Weetwood Lane to Oxley, then the path through the playing fields and back down Otley Road. In the dark.

Feeling poorly by the time I got home, sore throat and stuffed up head.
