After 30 years of been in the family, my late grandads reliant van is on its way to Spicers Auctioneers at Goole, where hopefully it will find a new loving owner.
So many great memories with grandad in this van, which totally rebuilt.

*hamstring, not handy 🤣

Back running one of my favourite routes. First run in 10 days though and my handy is still in tatters, so not sure how many more runs I’ll get in this visit.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

I’m still a long way off feeling my fittest, but this is the best I’ve felt in over a month.

Snowdon International Race - 84/468.

Shortened race due to the winds, so the race was just over 6miles this year, so it was a faster effort.

I felt really strong on the climb, but I wasn’t quick enough on the descent.

I’m already looking forward to next year.

Back to back training runs in a week….that’s the first time in a long time that’s happened.

@keithbell36 Thanks mate. One guarantee with this race, you’ll always get a good race photo.

Skiddaw FR yesterday.
⛰️
Despite the gale force winds of 30mph+ on the summit, and the niggles I’ve been carrying the last month, I somehow ran 30 seconds faster than my previous best here, and came home in 16th. Happy days.

The tractor isn’t the only one feeling burnt out, I feel knackered.

I’m not a Guns N' Roses fan by any means, but what a performance this is! Quality!

I have nothing but admiration for Lewis Capaldi, what a guy.

DCRO Dash fell race last night.
A first for me this one, and it was a toughie. My Achilles is still not right and the discomfort it was causing took the fun out of the race, but the view as you sat at the finish was worth it.

Industrial Estate Interval session.

4 x 90s with 60s recovery x3. 3mins recovery between sets.

Blowing out of my arse, but strangely enjoyed it.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

Another part of the country I’ve never explored before until today, Eastleigh. I found a cracking trail route, some of it a bit overgrown resulting in lots of nettle stings, but great run nonetheless.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

Back at the Bamford sheepdog trials Fell Race today, the race where my fell running journey all started 8 years ago. My 7th time doing the race, and it was one of my quicker ones, and finishing 20th overall. Another blinding day out, one of my faves this one.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

Great to be back at the Trunce last night for round 4 of the series, with me missing the last two. Unbelievably I took a wrong turning, and fell in the river crossing, but still managed to be quicker than my last outing by 40 seconds. I’m getting some speed back 😃

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

Back at parkrun after 9 weeks absence, and it felt so good to be back. I wish I could make more Saturday mornings here.
My fastest time since august too, the change it training, diet and lifestyle seems to be working.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

Another cracking evening on the trails.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

Industrial estate interval session -
2 x 6mins
2 x 3mins
2 x 90secs
All with 90s recovery.

[Joe Wade @LittleJoeRunner]

I’ve been waiting all year for weather like this! I bloody love warm sunshine
