Pre-nightwalk warm-up

Tonight (Saturday 21st May) we tackle the Buckden to Skipton leg of the trailtrekker route. Although we shouldn't admit this, it is our first training session as a complete team.

Last night I decided to do a longer run than normal so I ran a route similar to the Skipton Tough 10 from the previous weekend (a race that I toyed with the idea of running but thankfully the children came to my rescue....Next year maybe!).

I'd done a shortened version some weeks previous but this time I tagged on a bit at the end to make it a full 10 miles. My time of 1:16:07 was okay. It felt harder on the downhills than last time - feels like you've had all cushioning removed from your shoes.

Below is a rough breakdown of my mile splits, spot the (most) uphill section!

Mile 1 - 06:58
Mile 2 - 06:25
Mile 3 - 09:23
Mile 4 - 08:14
Mile 5 - 06:47
Mile 6 - 06:29
Mile 7 - 07:25
Mile 8 - 06:10
Mile 9 - 06:46
Mile 10 - 06:28

And here's the route I followed:
