Don’t let it get in your eyes mate...23 min 5k yesterday, which included a 3:57 last K which has been my fastest K for some time.
Got a 10 miler along the bleach on sunday which, in my current condition, would settle for a 1:25 -1:30 finish.

I’ve just been doing 5k’s this week, one more tomorrow, climbing Skiddaw tomorrow then starting 10k’s on Monday.Ha, there was a time when I used to proof read my posts. There could well be tears 8/9 miles in though, bleach or no bleach.

Haven’t done it before mate, looks like it’s about 10k so I’m guessing it’ll take us about 3-4 hours up and down with breaks. It’s one of Wainwright’s and I’ve not done it before, think it’s the 6th highest in England. Weather looks good so hopefully I’ll keep dry unlike last weekend doing loughrigg fell.....Fantastic way to spend the day. How tough/long is Skiddaw and how easy is the route to follow? Might give it a go over christmas.
Just starting to ramp it up a bit of late with the hope some events are on next year.

Got a mate who’s dog always needs a shit half way round.. no chance of a fast time anymore.Sounds great that. I need to be a bit more adventurous with my exercise, rather than just running the same routes all the time and mix it up with strenuous walks etc
Got a pup this year so its a bit restricting until they fully develop. Be great though for walks and intend to be the annoying idiot at Parkrun, with the dog attached to them, blocking all the other runners.

Love a good walk in the lakes at the weekend... great outdoors, fresh air, scenery and good company... only thing missing is a pub at the bottom for a pint and food.
Haha!!That is usually me nowadays, the dog will be waiting for me.
Skiddaw is pretty straight forward with decent kit and fitness which I'm sure you have. I've done it a couple of times years ago. Went up sharp edge I think and down tother side and back round to start.Haven’t done it before mate, looks like it’s about 10k so I’m guessing it’ll take us about 3-4 hours up and down with breaks.

Think that’s what we’re planning on doing... as for kit.. she’s always moaning I take, and make her take, too much... rather have everything I may need that not enough!!Skiddaw is pretty straight forward with decent kit and fitness which I'm sure you have.

5 mile run today. Went for low intensity but ended up sprinting the last couple of miles. Pace of 7 mins 45 in total . Pleased with that after the first mile was 8 mins 30 . Managed 7 mins 11 and 12 respectively for the last 2 miles.
Blencathra is next on our listRealised I was mixing up sharp edge, which is on blencathra with longside edge on skiddaw. They are quite different. Sharp edge is a much narrower scramble.
Best 5k time for a few months today ,just under 22. 10 super slow miles tomorrow towards Dunham Massey
Quality mate, I’ve gone out again today and finished in 24:16... happy with it as it’s a hilly course.... I’m aiming for sub 23 on one of the easier routes around me next week.Best 5k time for a few months today ,just under 22. 10 super slow miles tomorrow towards Dunham Massey
