tim2 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 10 mile run in to work this morning. Beautiful weather for it. 3 "I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanaBull Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 209.5 lbs on weigh in day; with less exercise due to being hurt not sure where this loss has come from but I’ll take it! Bit up and down over the last little while but at least trending the right direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 154.9kgs this week. Fluctuating around the same point. Can't say I'm doing much to change that right now, so as long as its not going up... 2 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSantos Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 A lot of stretching and pills and the back is getting better. I did some assault bike intervals this morning which was nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Weight 65.50 kilos, a loss of half a kilo. Probably down to walking everyday so far this week due to the exceptional weather, 35 miles in 5 days so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An association made up of numerous ldwa’s located across the UK. Every Sat/Sun numerous walks/events are held varying in length from 20 miles up to 100 miles. The events are well marshalled with check ins every few miles plus a team of “sweeper-uppers” to round up any straysSome events attract up to 500 participants and are extremely competitive. These events are open to both walkers and runners and prizes are awarded. Personally I’ve completed the Lyke Wake Walk many times (40 miles).I’ve also completed a double LWW (there and back, 80 miles) twice. I’ve walked/climbed/run the Yorkshire Three Peaks numerous times, 24 miles with a best time of 5hrs 15mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to look into that, my marathon running days are coming to a rapid close, 29th April will be my last. I have in the past taken part in events like the Swanton Morley marches as a civilian and Nijmegen Marches when I was still serving and thoroughly enjoyed them, I'll see what lord Google has to say about the LDWA.

JohnM Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Looking at inverse pressups. Lie on your back and gently push arms upwards. 3 sets of 20 per arm, take the rest of the day off. I'm interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do, isn't it? J. K.

Thanks for the idea. When we were kids, our Dad spent many years volunteering on the Fellsman, he did it once and said that was enough! We'd spend an April weekend with him up there generally getting wet through up Park Rash. Maybe that might be a challenge for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s something like 50 miles over open moorland countryside and most of it done during nighttime. Competitors are grouped together as night falls, no one is allowed to travel on their own while it is dark, hidden checkpoints have to be located during the night. I know a few who have entered The Fellsman, not many of them completed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few who have entered The Fellsman, not many of them completed it. From the stats, out of around 350 who generally start, 80 or so will be stopped or voluntarily retire. Very tough race in April across what can boot-suckingly soggy ground. They have a good website with a ton of info, 61 miles and 11,000 vertical feet of slog. Amazing that top athletes will run it 12 hours, fit as lops those lot. When I think of it though, I get the overwhelming smell of bacon and porridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanaBull Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 One other thing with it is that much of it goes across private land that’s only open for the Fellsman weekend so there aren’t paths or tracks to follow. There are always some lost folks that need mopping up as their map skills weren’t up to snuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
