Friday 29th October

Change of plans.
Clare went into work this am so I managed to get a run in.
Went back to the Oswaldtwistle moor run for a bit of variety and also you can keep adding extra sections on if you fancy.
Ran from Clough Head Car Park staying on the side opposite the reservoirs.
The first climb was pretty tough, followed te route for the Rossendale way, right out towards the last farm on the moors. Had a look around 13 stone hill, this was a stone circle at some point in the distant past, this is all that now remains -

Ran to the last farm and retraced my steps until I got the old quarry.
At this point I turned left and followed the track you can see for about 1/2 a mile.

Then over the road and up the hill opposite that looks over the Grane reservoirs. Back down then a long drag up the track to the tops. Very windy today! Ran across the tops to Deep Clough.
Down and back up the other side - Tough
The image below shows Deep Clough, my route brought me into it from the right hand side and out to the left

Followed the Rossendale route back, crossed the Grane rd, turned left over the style, spent 20 mins this side up a few small climbs and returned back to the car.
Legs are tired, but strong at the moment, these long runs are really helping.
Watch says - 92 mins, Avg HR 137, Max HR 155, Cals 973.
Around 10 miles

Try to get a bike session in tonight and get bak into PUps, SUps and squats.
