Sometimes less is more. Training has slacked a bit

Sometimes less is more. Training has slacked a bit recently with life being crazy busy. It's frustrating to cut the mileage with upcoming races, especially after a summer of Bob Graham Round/ultra training and 20-30 mile runs being the weekly norm.
.
But when you're too tired to focus, hit the paces and lacking motivation then the body is probably wearing down rather than getting stronger. It only knows stress, whether it's from training, work or general life.
.
Instead it's been quality over quantity with speed sessions and hill reps to get more 'bang for the buck'. Glad to get 22 miles on Moel Famau today though. Managed to gatecrash an ultra and get loads of free encouragement. Probably the only time I'll ever lead a race. Milked it!

Dashing through the... No!

First snow run of the year in the Howgills last weekend. 20 miles felt like an ultra with breaking trail through fresh snow in places. It could do with a proper deep freeze, but you can't beat that crunching sound underfoot. Anyone else out in the snow this weekend?

Black Tie Friday. Back on the big stage as the after dinner speaker at #FDAwards2021 in Liverpool last week with 280 people. I've missed the lights, camera & action. Well done to all the finalists! £3,000 raised @nspcc_official in the process too.

Thanks Joe Granger for the pic. Back to my running gear now...
