"End of Jantastic"

For the first year ever I have managed to complete the twelve weeks of Jantastic but still missed my target 5k time by nine seconds!  A total of fifty three sessions, minimum four per week and a long run of ten miles, which I am really happy with, including finding many new routes such as acos danes Moss (pictured)

The week was rounded off by a 7am visit to the White Nancy Breakfast Club  just before the rain set in for the day.

Week13. Weekly mileage 25. Annual mileage 335. Sessions 58. Races 9.

"Astbury Parkrun"

Time to test my jantastic fitness, this year with a 5k at Astbury. I had set a target of 21.50 but missed it by nine seconds having miscalculated the required pace which was less than the 6.55 I ran!!

Week 10. Weekly mileage   . Annual mileage .... Sessions ... Races 9.

"The Langley 10"

For my midweek long run I thought I would do the old "Langley 10", not run as a race for many years. In actual fact the Langley 7 plus down into the Clough was 12 miles and it was very dark in the forest when I got back into the village!

"Back to the Cloud 9"

Annual visit to one of my favourite races across , up and down Bosley Cloud. Wearing a pair of Runner's World"on test" trail shoes, although they weren't as goos as my usual fell shoes I was actually a minute quicker than last year at 1.26.23!
