Thought about running out to Bull Hill and back, but had a change of plan on the drive to the start point.
I was wondering how hilly and how far my steady run from Clough Head car park is, so ... that was the run.
A steady start got me to the top of the first climb feeling good. The next section is a good run - easy.
Another small climb at the side of the quarry, a new ish quarry formed a few years ago - Jamestone.
Feeling good but only a mile or so into the run. The next section is pretty much up and down climbs, nothing too extreme, but steep.
Out to the far hill along the Rosendale Way, still feeling good.
Running around the far farm and back.
Out to the next far hill getting to the top feeling still good.
A trip in and out of the old quarry and a tough climb to the top of Deep Clough.
In and out of Deep Clough, the climb out was tough, then a steady run back home.
The run was 6 miles long and hilly as you'll see from the graph below.
The good thing with this route is I can keep adding climbs on and on and incorporate the other side of the moors as well, right out to Peel Tower if wanted.
Now that's a possibility for a run in the holidays.
6 miles, 1225 ft of climbing in 67 mins.
Stats for the week - only managed 24 miles running + 4 miles walk Saturday
Need to up the mileage to 30+ from next week.
