6 Weeks till my favourite run series Brooks HellRunner Series

Kinda starts a season of trail and fell runs for me lasting till Feb

I ran the Yorkshire 3 peaks some 10 weeks ago and have done little since resting an injured right knee so it's 6 hard weeks for me now to get back up to scratch.

Currently about a stone and half over my ideal running weight so thought I'd start a log to motivate myself


HERE WE GO: 1/08/2010
12 Stone

4.5 mile trail run - untimed, steady pace (planned 10miles but it's tooooo bloody muggy)

Full hour in the Gym today

Granted 35 mins were on the treadmill

Fuck off besty hill workout

ranged from running flat incline to 15% incline
3 - 5 min intervals
the basis is when you feel fucked and the lactic acid is raging instead of slowing down and walking you compensate the speed for height working new muscle sets then run at that new incline gradually dropping the speed then up the incline and repeat

it just stops the boredom of dreadmills

Then I fired off some upper body, chest and back.

Should have done weights first really because everybody thought I was sweating like fuck because I was doing incline chest hahaha

Og i wouldnt worry about it mate everytime i go to the gym and do weights i sweat like fuck, its part of having a serious workout

I normally would Kf, I'd planned a good hour on the treadmill but after doing the hill reps I was goosed after 35! Figured I'd do some lightweight high reps just to loosen up really, won't be doing it again though

Sniper and skinny, what can I say..... ya sweaty bastards
