Running up mountains

So my Panthering along the woody trails near where I live continues.... And on Sunday I ran 8 miles which is the furthest I've run since the beginning of Summer when I had a horrible experience in Peterborough.

I'm so happy and I absolutely loved every minute of the 850 foot climb ( yes that's 850 foot of elevation or 259 metres for you metric types) and I have added a pic of my Garmin stats to prove it. It took me 1 hour 43 mins which I'm happy with given the mountains I had to climb!!! I had refreshers for fuel and I had my camel too with water etc.

Top tip- I always keep the foil blanket that you get given at the end of a race in my camel just in case I get injured and have to wait to be found as it's incredibly remote.

So ....on with marathon training and upping the mileage - I did 20 miles last week and I aim to increase that by 10% a week mostly on the long run :)

Happy Panthering

My word those HM's are hard core!! Makes my planned attempt to run in the Chester HM next May seem a bit .... well.... girlie? I know it's in the North but as far as I'm aware there aren't any frozen lakes and I (probably) won't have to spend a couple of weeks trekking to get used to the climate. Mind you I will have to negotiate the vagaries of the UK rail system which can often be as difficult!!

Any run is an achievement in my book, I think the people that do those HM's must be bordering on crazy!!! Good luck with your training....

I'm hiking next week with those elevations. Running up them is something else entirely. Still, it's those runs which will get you a fantastic set of lungs so you'll be able to tackle anything. Go Ju!!!!!
