"Knowsley Mud & The Northern XC Championships"

For a second year running the Northern XC was at Knowsley Safari Park and again the course completely defeated me with the worst mud ever seen at a cross country fixture. A 7.3  mile run in 69.56 which is  best forgotten!

Week 4. weekly mileage 25. Annual mileage 96. Sessions 20. Races 2.

Making a start on one of main targets for the year, learning to map read "properly"!

Lesson one - The north arrow points upwards!

"Jantastic Park"

Just completed week two of Jantastic as part of the Macclesfield Harriers team. Committed to five runs a week for at least the next twelve weeks and 100% so far. New Garmin makes me realise that neither my runs or speed were as long or as fasr as I thought they were!

Week 3. Weekly mileage 22. Annual mileage 71. Sessions 15. Races 1.

"Boggart Hole Clough XC"

The sun may be shining but the fourth round of the Manchester & District XC League at Boggart Hole Clough was anything but dry! in fact the course was shortened for the first time ever for safety reasons as the sharp descents were too muddy and slippery!. So it ended up a 5.22 miles (new garmin!) in 47.43.

Week 2. Weekly mileage 25. Annual mileage 49. Sessions 10.

"Rain!"

 My normal lunchtime run from the office in Sandbach!

Week 1. Weekly mileage 24. Annual mileage 24. Sessions 5.
