Running warm up/down 17:00 [3] 2.0 mi (8:30 / mi) +60m 7:46 / mi
Very small warm up as was late and had to pay for parking on phone which was predictably frustrating. Spent warm down taking stunning photos
Running race 18:50 [5] 3.1 mi (6:05 / mi) +85m 5:36 / mi
Keswick parkrun - 3rd, 18.50
The standard Keswick course, on the railway path, was washed away in the Xmas floods, so they had moved to a lakeside venue, at first temporarily, but it was more popular so it became permanent. That was until the run director realised there was a potential safety issue with traffic on a private road to a boat house. So they are going back to the railway and this was the last running of the lakeside course.
I was in two minds whether to do it on this course or the other one.
I've very glad I did because it was a stunning course. Words won't do it justice but 3 laps along the drive, onto the shore side through a meadow and then up through some woods.
Deceptively hilly, no-one had broken 18 on this course...until today of course.
Front 2 shot off and never saw them again.
Was all alone and nearly backed off when things got tough on the 2nd lap but roused myself and last lap was quickest by 6s despite many backmarkers. A warm up might have helped.

Pottered around in the woods at the back of Highroyds.
Quite pleasant.
Once I've got Settle out of the way, really must crack on with the map here, but I keep saying that...

Running 31:00 [3] 4.0 mi (7:45 / mi) +170m 6:51 / mi
Pennine Bridleway - Long Preston to Settle
Lovely route and evening, long climb but never too steep
Then more planning on the ground, things looking good for Settle and Giggleswick
If anyone is reading and thinking of entering, you can do Course E as a sprint course after your main course, all around the school.
I've booked the sunshine as well.

Running intervals 51:30 [4] 7.1 mi (7:15 / mi) +100m 6:57 / mi
First 1500m session of the summer
2 x (5x300) off 100m (30s), 500m (3 mins) between sets
Averaged 49s
Got to be happy with that, 50s would have done, think there was a bit more in the tank, not much, but wasn't in a heap at the end.

Running long 1:16:15 [3] 10.4 mi (7:20 / mi) +280m 6:46 / mi
Pack run from Kendal up to Helsington Barrows and back over GC
Some very hungover quality runners so was very sociable up the hill, in just the heat you don't need after a 3am finish. Pace picked up coming down, everyone stopped at 49 mins once we hit the start, but Mike was keen to do more and I felt alright so we ran down the river and back.
