Climbing on the Cleveland Hills. Windy on the tops but well sheltered on the N side. BariAlti appears to have shit itself on 2 of the biggest climbs (has me going downhill when I was definitely going up), maybe due to wind direction/pressure changes.

Felt a bit naff starting but enjoyed ticking the climbs off and even managed to up the pace on the way back (for a bit) when I saw a fast moving Lee up ahead.

Gizzy woods and out into Commondale Moor with Bray. Cracking evening amd a bit of breeze took the edge off the heat. Good to get out and moving as it's been too easy the last few days to feel tired and sack it off.

slept:7.0 shoes: Inov8 Race Ultra 290

Lyke Wake, heading east. The overnight 'storm' subsided and I had pretty much perfect running conditions with a gentle cross tailwind and only 15mins of rain.
Trail Runner fancy dress again, pack a bit faffier with more gear in it due to changeable weather. Hannah met me mid way fot a water and food top-up as was unsure of the water statis/quality en route. There were a few ok streams/rivers in the 2nd half though.

Went over the Cleveland hills which is the purist route, but not necessary for the race (where the cps are the start, end and road crossings only). Decent running to half way, after which it got a bit muddier, boggier and broken in places. Kept moving OK and was dollying along quite happily at the end feeling quite good.
6.12 total from stone to stone. 6.21 total down to the Ravenscar Hotel. Pleased with the time, close to winnine times I've seen. Will have to find more info on record (best I've seen is 5.50ish but not seen all results)

slept:8.5 shoes: NB 1080 #1

I've been enjoying the miles and climb of late but started to feel a bit stale and hankering after running quicker at a sustainable pace. Did 5x8 (1) tempo on the back lanes. All much of a muchness when taking undulations into account (3.37-3.56 pace). Really enjoyed it and felt good on the run back. Hilly tempos are OK and useful but can feel too much of a grind and sometimes I'll hit a steeper climb and feel like I've ground to a halt.

Daytrip to the lakes to see the Bradley clan. Stinky hot and humid then is started pissing it down as we started running and it was bliss!
Similar route to my 30th, taking in Burnbank, Blake and gavel. Visibility was similar to December 2018 as well!

Moors from Gribdale with Pete. Felt okay considering how tired I felt earlier. Hopefully I don't pay for this. Beautiful evening.

slept:8.0 shoes: Mudclaw Classic Langdale'18

Put some grip on and enjoyed myself much more than the last couple of runs sliding about in trailies. Trail Runner fancy dress, think I have a system that works well enough to not need to shell out on another pack. Practised with gels from 2h on and no stomach issues. At this pace anyway.

Over to Guisborough to play in the woods. Bumped into Joe Blackett (3rd time this lockdown?) at the bottom of the Grunt and an easier pace up that with him freshened my legs up a bit for the 2nd half of the run.

Another mile of vert in the bank. Feeling alright, legs a bit heavy and a bit tired but glut work seems to have solved the back pain and I've got a week off now - good for time on feet and also recovering/sleeping better.

Woke with a sore back which was disconcerting. Does this mean I am officially old?

Finally got round to ultb5 which was not the one to go in to off a week break, and did some back stretching, core and glutes. Quads seem a bit tired so have stopped using glutes when running this week. Tried to rectify this on run.

Get out get it done get yam weather. 30min tempo under and up CCM. Segment times not too bad considering weather and feeling, and even a bit quicker than before on the last section when I thought I was crawling.

1h feels barely worth it!

First day WFH. Not much done but not much to do. Been daydreaming about some of my best runs recently, Kinder Downfall in 2016 (?) where Little Rob and I ran under 69 mins and he did me in the last 300m has been the go to - one of those days where everything just felt so smooth, good and fast.

Felt better just putting my running gear on. A colleague did say I looked a bit rough today. Maybe it's the hair and beard. An old lady I passed when out said I looked fit though so swings and roundabouts.

Been feeling a bit unco since Thursday and felt no need or compulsion to run today. Done a lot of eating, mainly sugar and carbs which probably isn't helping too much.

West from Chop gate with Caroline. Including a path marked on the map as a path, not just aright of way, that didn't exist on the ground. So bonus terrain.
