On my training plan today was just an easy three mile run. I went a little bit above that, clocking a 9.6 mile easy run but to be honest, I think my training plan is meant for somebody who does less mileage than me so I’m pretty sure I’m safe to go over the three miles on easy sessions, I’ll just make sure that I stick to the distances given for the speed sessions, etc.
I met Ed at the bottom barn at 8.30 and we went for a run up to the Pike, Two Lads, the trig point, then down to Hordern Stoops and along to Lead Mines Clough. We went through the field along the top of the clough and along to the waterfall and then ran along the other side to the Bomber Memorial. We then ran through Lead Mines Clough, up the road, through the field and back into Rivington along Dean Brook.
It was really misty this morning and when we were on top of the Pike there were a couple of mountain bikers there sat on a bench who jokingly said they were ‘admiring the view’. The fog was so thick that from the bench you could only just see the top of the steps. Glad I knew where I was!
Total distance – 9.65 miles
