I’m currently sat in the pub with about ten minutes until Ben arrives and is sure to lambast me for not keeping this blog up to date. In a desperate bid to fend off his relentless enthusiasm, I figured I’d better put up a little update about a run I did a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

In glorius sunshine, Greg, Sean and I set off from Nether Booth for a mini version of the Edale Skyline<\/a>. We’re all doing LAMM next weekend, so this was to be a quick training jaunt. From Hollins Cross we went around to Mam Tor, Rushup Edge, Brown Knoll, the Woolpacks and then down Grindsbrook Clough. FWIW, don’t ever consider coming down Grindsbrook – it’s way too rough, and I’d heartily suggest coming down from Ringing Roger instead. Injuries and the weather took their toll on our merry party; Sean had to cut back early, and I left Greg feeling the effects of the heat in Edale.<\/p>\n

The route ended up being the furthest I’ve ever run, on or off road. At a length of about 23km, it was a good practice for a single LAMM day; I just need to double that performance next weekend, with a sack on my back! Nevertheless, I felt pretty reasonable at the end of it, despite forgetting to put my orthotics in my shoes before I set off (fool). I was also using a new pair of shoes, since my previous pair of Inov8’s fell apart (they did replace them without any issues though). I got on OK with those, so everything’s looking good. Stay tuned for a LAMM report early next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
