  • Another hilly #runningadventure. This time up onto the #blackmountains themselves. The mist cleared as the morning progressed to give some stunning views across some runnable terrain. The glorious descent into #hayonwye along the #offasdykepath capped off what was probably one of the best #mountainrunning days I've had in a long while. Legs felt suitably battered by the end. Bring on the @dragonsbackrace 😁
  • Misty views and eerie shapes on this mornings #run around the foothills of the #blackmountains. Tough on the legs after last weekend efforts and stop-start with the nav checks but excellent fun none the less. Another #runningadventure in a stunning part of the #uk
  • View from this mornings #yoga mat, getting ready for a short hilly #runningadventure. It was cold but definitely worth dragging the mat outside, making the most of the sounds and energy from the morning air and wildlife. Ready and raring to go on my #run now 😁
  • More #darkpeak #running shenanigans this morning, this time up on #derwentedge and around #ladybowerreservoir. Thanks to @marcusscotney for the route suggestion. Such fun, even if it was still bitterly cold on top. Our Fenland legs are now suitably loaded and with that its onto the next set of hills 😁
  • Beautiful day out #running in the #peakdistrict yesterday A true #runningadventure, with an improvised loop on and around #kinderscout, trying to get as much vertical in our legs as time would allow. Bitterly cold on top but the views if the #darkpeak more than made up for it!
