A steady 10

A steady run in cool air and drizzle this morning. Start in Horwich, up and over Winter Hill to Belmont and back. A nice, hilly 10 miles in the bag. Reassuring after the disaster of Sunday, it's not me, it's the heat. My back feels a bit crunchy and my glutes are tight. I reckon a sports massage is in order to keep me ticking over, got supporting duties for WHW for Kate coming up. I can't be the weak link.

I'm glad your legs are back.

Are you running all of the WHW??

OMG. Do you know how far that is? (probably a daft question).

I've no idea how you or kate do it. You must be super humen.

No! I do not run all of it. I may not even need to run any of it. But, support crew have to be prepared to run part of it with their runner, depends on cut offs etc being met at certain times.

Glad you had a good run, just what you needed after the weekend!

Heat is crap for running in I agree! I've lost my running mojo a bit, scared to restart as I know it will mean sore legs to interfere with biking.

@Julbags - Ah, maybe your running mojo is hanging out with my biking mojo?

I think you've misunderstood, we are running all of the WHW, then we're all cycling home via the 7 stains, without any gears.

10 miles well done.... I only did 4 but am working on my speed at min and not distance :-(

"I think you've misunderstood, we are running all of the WHW, then we're all cycling home via the 7 stains, without any gears. "

That sounds a lot better than riding around in circles at 7 stanes!

Still in awe that someone can run all of the WHW!

Julbags said...

Possibly, my biking mojo is very strong at the minute, perhaps I've stolen yours!

@jane - only riding single speed, you wimp, now I know the revised plan, I'll be bring a unicycle and riding everything twice!

@Jane: You have no idea what your flippent comment has just started.

The idea of riding the WHW has had spending all day at work mapping out the route.

NCN68 over the pennines to Carlise, NCR7 around the coast to Glasgow then the WHW north.

Then there is the the Cape Wrath Trail which continues for another 200 miles north from Fort William.

....unfortunately, i don't think it's going to be you that's the weakest link ;)
