Training Log Archive: Frostbite

Solo effort at the Malhamdale fell race, because a) I was going there anyway to pick up a pillow and b) when I did it at new year I was feeling ill and chaperoning youngsters so was I wanted to try going quicker.

Happy enough with the time. I beat Sarah Pedley. It was much wetter underfoot than at New Year, and quite windy too, big headwind for the last hill. Also climbing Gordale Scar was a bit hairy, not the climb itself but the bit at the top where wading through the raging torrent was required. Fortunately I am hairy enough to match it.

Seven Arches. It was dark by the time I finished. Just a very slow plod.

It started raining and got much colder just as I got home from work. I can't be expected to go out running in those conditions.

Gledhow Park and Chapel Allerton. Easyish. Lovely evening.

Weetwood and Lawnswood, with 6x2 mins. Did a longer warm up than normal to avoid congestion. Jogging ladies all over the pavement.
