Back from a great week in the Lakes, got some good runs in , thanks M6's.
Added Gowbarrow to the list yesterday, left the Boss and the girls at the bottom and ran to the top.
ES- I'll have a word with the boss re Sunday.
... his writeup for the [b]Five_Trigs_Challenge[/b], a demanding 20-ish mile loop round the wilds of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire starting ( and finishing ! ) at the Cat and Fiddle pub.
Also, by popular request, there are still maps of a possible route round the [b]Bullock_Smithy[/b] Hike - note this is just one route, others are available (as they say), and may be more efficient ! and also the High Peak 40 event, maps [b]one[/b] and [b]two[/b] . These maps are from a couple of years ago, but the route is essentially the same apart from a bit of a diversion near to Cadster Farm, which is described on the HP40 website.
More information on both the [b]Bullock_Smithy[/b] and the [b]High_Peak_40[/b] is available on their websites.
Last Updated ( Tuesday, 24 August 2010ES - Could you print off the map for the BS.
Jonah - yes, I'll print the map off and bring it on Sunday. I'll see you on Sunday at 7.40am.
Nexus - sorry we can't fit you and anyone else in the car. I'll have my phone with me so if your transport is running late then give me a bell and we'll wait for you. 8.30am at the Quiet Woman, Earl Sterndale.
TST - Mrs S and kids are going to provide drinks station support which will be at the 6 & 12 mile point so that will be just near the squirrel. You're more than welcome to join them. It's on the Saturday.
TST - Congrats on being GVS Summer Series Champion!
don't underplay the achievement of getting fit/well prepared to the start lines of several races over an extended period - that's a big part of what a series is about
however, given how many members GVS has, I am a little surpised that so few will complete the summer (or main) series - do they not go in for many races? or are they just avoiding the champs ones for some bizarre reason?
re 5 Trigs - I can thoroughly recommend it as a great training run - I've done it a couple of times and I actually prefer it clockwise (Cat&Fiddle-ShiningTor-BurbageEdge-AxeEdge-Roaches-Shutlingsloe-C&F) - there's also a few bits of route choice to keep it interesting
ES / J8 - sounds like a good plan. See you on Sunday. Thanks for those links J8, I'm going to study them tomorrow.
TB - It's rubbish isn't it.
Hope you had a good holiday.
Kwaka - I'm seriously starting to think about it!
AM - Sounds interesting I'll look it up.
Minnie - 20 mins thurs and 30 yesterday went ok, however the pain doesn't seem to kick in till around 5-6m so the next few runs will be more of a test. Just off for round 2 of torture, think I better take a wooden spoon to bite down on!
Nice pb this morning MTBB. Your running well. 130 runners at Woodbank this morning on a very warm day.
17 miles this morning with Tom. Started to feel very tired indeed and a bit dizzy at about the 8 mile marker. Is it the 3 races in 4 days I did last week catching up with me, I ask. No, I get told - it's because I don't train hard enough . And to add insult to injury, he then tells me that my comfortable pace training runs now need to be done faster and if all I do is plod, I will stay a plodder.
Is this domestic abuse? Is there some sort of agency I can report him to ?
Kwaka - have fun! Wish we were still there - instead we have been DIYing all day!
Can i ask who is hoping to come to ours next Saturday - just so i know how much food to do - obviously i need to cater a lot just for GBM! All welcome!
Jonah/Nexus - thanks for the run. 3 hours is pretty good going from Earl Sterndale to the end. It took 3 hrs 45 minutes on the race last year.
What drinks do people want at the drinks station on the MWW run next week - lucozade & water? Any food - flapjacks or similar?
ES/NI- Thanks for the run, felt s**t for most of it though, I've had bad guts for the last 2 weeks and I think it caught up with me today.
We only did a 21 mile section of the Bullock today, but it makes you realise what a tough course it is.
JS - How is your leg?
M6 - I managed to get my hands on another 2 different Jennings pint pots.
ES / J8 - thanks for the reccy this morning. I reckon we all should save quite a bit of time after that with those route choices.
M6s - count me in. I still need your address though. Send it me on fb in a private message if you don't want to post it on here for all the world to see. What time is everyone getting there?
ES - I will be OK with just fluids for MWW18 but some sports drink in addition to water would be good. Will probably carry a couple of gels as well to re-introduce myself to the wonderful taste.
What is the best way of organising the drinks - should anyone requiring stronger than water chip in to cover costs or should we get our own drinks to you before Sat for taking to the squirrell/rabbit - a bit like elite athletes
.
ES - I will just run past the drinks several times and enjoy free drinks.
Chunal fell race on Wednesday be a good training session, short and hilly.
ES -much appreciated re the drinks for MWW 18.
If MTTB is setting off at 8am, I will go about 8.30ish, I think.
JS - if Berlin doesnt happen, you could always enter a bike race. You weren't half giving it some welly on that bike at the track last night. Your dedication is quite inspiring and makes me feel guilty for wingeing and skiving all the time.
"a car with no driver" - was it Herbie?
Minnie - not going to make it to your party unfortunately, bit too much going on family-wise
MTBB - 8.00AM
SW - 8.21
FOAR - 8.32
DB - 8.32
M - 8.32
GBM - 8.32
JS - 8.37
Jonah8 - 8.38
Eric - 8.42
PPP - 8.45.
I've based these on the 'predicted marathon times list' and i've guessed Jonah8 will do a 2.50 marathon and PPP will do 2.40. JS may want to move up to the sub 3 group due to the ankle injury.
Anyone else interested?
Eric/Mrs Seagull - The nearest bridge/access point to mile 6 is on Brookledge Lane (the left turn at The Legh Arms, Adlington). Not sure where you can park though. Anyway, you've probably already looked into it.
GBM - I'll be there but I'm not running at marathon pace.
