This was my first time out with a fell running club called the Dark Peak Fell Runners and it turned out to be a club fell race. I had been in touch with the club and the chairman said he would meet me and run with me. I decided to run with the slower race with the faster ones setting off 15 mins after us. We were given 4 check point and we had to decide on the route in the dark with made it alot of fun.

A Big Thank You

A big thank you to View Ranger, Mountain House Europe and Tubular Fells for showing there support on this amazing challenge I have set my self of running 100 miles in the Lakeland Mountains. There is a time limit of 40 hrs non stop and if it goes the full durations it will mean 2 full nights on night nav with no sleep which could lead to a few mistakes. Hopefully it will all go to plan and we will achive are goal.

My mid week big run should be on a Wed but with a really bussy week planed I decided to do it on a Tuesday as I was off work and head out into the Peak District. Were I was greated with think fog and drilizing rain. Theres not a great deal of ascent on this run but the ascent from Grindleford Train Station all the way up on to Mills Edge was a killer really made my legs burn but this is what I need to get my legs ready for the Lake District.

 

Lakeland 100 Training Update 1

I have been following my training plan for a few months now and its not leaving me much spare time with family life and trying to run 5 times a week its prity hard work so trying to find the time to keep my blog upto date is becoming more difficult. So I have come up with this idea of trying to update it once a week by useing links to my Strava Running App which records evey little detail of my runs and tells me how I get on ans if I trigger any segments which are like stage people have created. Any my big fell runs I will do a trip report. So let me know what you think to this idea?  

To view all the details from my runs all you will need to do is click on the date of the run and this will take you to my run on my Strava Dashboard.

After a much needed rest week I went into my block of 3 hard training weeks of running around 40 miles per week. 

  

Tues 16th - 4.7mile run

• Distance - 4.7miles
• Ascent - 108feet
• Moving Time - 33:31
•  Avg Time - 07:10/min
• Calories - 636

Going into this run I felt refreshed and was looking forward to getting out running again. I set off at a good pace and my app was giving me good feed back on my splits so I kept pushing hard and managed to get 6 new PB's and became kink of 2 segments.
