Second round of the North Staffs XC League saw us at an old quarry high up in the Staffordshire Moorlands, Park hall, now a local nature reserve and a fantastic venue for running. With a mixture of winding single track and traversing of open moorland this three lap 10k race is a real test of both descending and digging in on short sharp climbs. managing a 50.48 I will really pleased with this with much of the run being into a strong headwind. watch the pain and the glory at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO1uuFbGaFw
I finished off the week with a run around the Langley 7 course which is being raced next weekend. I am marshalling for the club so won't be competing for the first time in many years. On a glorious sunny autumn morning with views over Macclesfield Forest and the Cheshire Plain there can't be many better places to go out for a recovery run.
Weekly mileage 40. Annual mileage 1079. Races 24.
