Bumped into a Spectrum Striders crew at Wharf Lock. Heartrate a bit high - but combo of quite a boozy previous day (a 'bottomless brunch' at the Ariete....) plus rather a fidgety dog overnight may have contributed. 1) 1mi - 11:05(11:05/mi) 131/139bpm [1452b/mi] 116cal 5.41/5.8mph 2) 1mi - 10:45(10:45/mi) 141/151bpm [1516b/mi] 122cal 5.58/6.74mph 3) 1mi - 10:30(10:30/mi) 148/153bpm [1555b/mi] 127cal 5.71/6.24mph 4) 1mi - 10:41(10:41/mi) 150/155bpm [1603b/mi] 129cal 5.61/5.97mph 5) 1mi - 10:36(10:36/mi) 154/159bpm [1632b/mi] 132cal 5.66/5.97mph 6) 1mi - 10:36(10:36/mi) 151/155bpm [1600b/mi] 126cal 5.66/6.05mph 7) 1mi - 11:11(11:11/mi) 151/183bpm [1688b/mi] 128cal 5.37/5.68mph 8) 0.7mi - 7:58(11:20/mi) 153/159bpm [1734b/mi] 95cal 5.29/5.8mph 28th Apr 2024, 5:54pm Corrah wrote: Hope the HR has settled down now.

-	-	27.5mi, 2:10:57 Bike - General First pedal since Bamburgh - and a nice one despite the predictable traffic. Shoals of cyclists out and about. Decent T&C at Dunham Massey - a new catering 'van' near the entrance. 1) 5mi - 24:01(4:48/mi) 228cal 12.49/17.22mph 2) 5mi - 22:19(4:28/mi) 236cal 13.44/19.31mph 3) 5mi - 24:15(4:51/mi) 218cal 12.37/17.24mph 4) 5mi - 25:00(5:00/mi) 215cal 12/18.03mph 5) 5mi - 22:46(4:33/mi) 227cal 13.17/17.57mph 6) 2.53mi - 12:36(4:59/mi) 108cal 12.03/24.98mph Add a comment	-	-	4mi, 46:14 Run - General Birthday RR run!

E had a work meeting at RHS Bridgewater and elected to cycle in. We made good time along the Lancs and then dropped down to RHS. I then picked up the newish path that connects back to the canal - after one wrong turn managed to get over a bridge to the 'south bank' back to Morley's lane. Then hit a bit of a groove back along the Lancs - The 4th 5 mile split must be one of my quickest ever. Not bad for an old boy.... 1) 5mi - 27:33(5:31/mi) 201cal 10.89/18.62mph 2) 5mi - 28:58(5:48/mi) 199cal 10.36/17.3mph 3) 5mi - 23:37(4:43/mi) 220cal 12.7/24.65mph 4) 5mi - 17:44(3:33/mi) 260cal 16.92/19.2mph 5) 1.24mi - 4:40(3:46/mi) 64cal 15.92/22.1mph Add a comment

-	5.2mi, 56:44 Run - General Beautiful morning. Pretty strong group so opted for Hermitage Green loop. Well done to the '60th {Parry Bash' survivors from last night who turned up - Pat Lea, Vicki Kelly, Elly et moi. 'Lost' newbie runner Chris on the Brook path (my fault - shouldn't have left him to walk solo....) but he navigated his own way home to Acorn St. Hence all the up and downing the brook path, 1) 1mi - 11:07(11:07/mi) 131/149bpm [1457b/mi] 114cal 5.39/5.61mph 2) 1mi - 11:09(11:09/mi) 138/145bpm [1539b/mi] 120cal 5.38/6.47mph 3) 1mi - 11:10(11:10/mi) 136/150bpm [1519b/mi] 109cal 5.37/6.24mph 4) 1mi - 10:39(10:39/mi) 141/152bpm [1502b/mi] 109cal 5.63/6.66mph 5) 1mi - 10:31(10:31/mi) 142/164bpm [1494b/mi] 104cal 5.7/6.78mph 6) 0.21mi - 2:07(10:04/mi) 167/173bpm [1682b/mi] 28cal 5.96/6.85mph Add a comment	8.1mi, 1:28:41 Run - General A warm LSR! We were glad of the intermittent cooling breeze. Only 4 today - Old Mike, Kieran, E & me. Decided in Ashton to cut back down the A49 rather than Plan A of plugging west along the A58 to Haydock Industrial Estate. 1) 1mi - 11:19(11:19/mi) 127/143bpm [1438b/mi] 110cal 5.3/5.76mph 2) 1mi - 11:14(11:14/mi) 129/139bpm [1450b/mi] 104cal 5.34/6.12mph 3) 1mi - 11:02(11:02/mi) 137/148bpm [1511b/mi] 114cal 5.44/5.87mph 4) 1mi - 10:34(10:34/mi) 134/146bpm [1417b/mi] 96cal 5.68/6.12mph 5) 1mi - 11:05(11:05/mi) 135/148bpm [1497b/mi] 96cal 5.41/6.12mph 6) 1mi - 10:47(10:47/mi) 134/153bpm [1445b/mi] 85cal 5.57/5.91mph 7) 1mi - 10:31(10:31/mi) 137/148bpm [1441b/mi] 90cal 5.7/6.14mph 8) 1mi - 10:47(10:47/mi) 139/145bpm [1498b/mi] 96cal 5.57/6.22mph 9) 0.14mi - 1:21(9:38/mi) 149/153bpm [1436b/mi] 15cal 6.22/6.37mph Add a comment	-	-	-	-
