The old fans of Tour de France among us, will know this bit of road as the real route up the Tourmalet. They have been using the new bit, that Paddy is looking down upon, for at least 15 years. For some reason cyclist wants to use the new road. They are missing out on some of the best parts of the Tourmalet and get to cycle in nostalgia, back when it was real bikes, no electric shifting or carbon. I fast hiked this bit and then tried to be faster on the downhill on the other side of the valley. To be very humbled when a runner just zoomed past, barely had time to reply to his nod before he disappeared into the distance.

Because of the wonderful lass's cake day shenanigans yesterday, where she cycled up two Pyrenean mountain cols, just for fun. I took Miss MoneyPenny out with us for a run. She might only be 8kg vs his 25kg, but boy can she pull, she got some serious torque. I swear that one arm is longer than the other now. Paddy didn't like that his lead was shorter than hers, so it was a fast run, especially when they both heard/smelled a kritter in the woods ;)

Rain was threatening to come in and made this run rather warm and humid while going uphill. On the downhill we lost the trail, had to find our own way, map said there was a trail, but now't to be seen in IRL. When we got into the forest it was nice and cool, but at this time both of us were tired. I let the lad cool of in a tempting and cool looking stream, which sadly was 10cm of water and 20cm of mud. Luckily the lad got long legs so the mud bath wasn't too bad ;)

What a glorious day for a run and a stunning location. Views of 2700m+ mountains with fresh snow, greener than green valleys and view out to the flatlands down below. Not a technical route which meant that near the end we had to share the trails with other people that had the audacity to be out in public. I think I saw more humans today than I have over the last year combined when out running. Not used to getting these weird looks when singing or talking to myself ;)

Ok let's see what we can blame this slow run on. Much work during the week so no training, cold weather, shoelaces that wouldn't stay tied up and the carbs drink not doing anything to help speed me up. Yeah I think that will do, nothing to do with the little visit to a local brewery yesterday ;)
We have been reading up and kinda understand that when running long, for me, and the lass cycling up the various Cols here. We are rather low on carbs, we are reasonably ok on protein intake, but carbs should be more. Hence trying out a drink, taste not to bad and so far agrees with my digestion system.
Else it was a good and fun route, even if it was much flatter that what I'm used to run.

Morning my lovelies.
Out for my rehab run, and it was actually really nice. Whisper it quietly but the heel cushion in my V-treks actually worked very well. It did feel a little odd at first, but after a couple of Km's I found myself running more comfortably. Much more running today, and I even went down onto the tiny sandy beach its not long, but did 5 laps - back and forth, jumping over the waves, & laughing, it was a fun run.

Morning 🌄
Early injury rehab run / shuffle again, it's pretty much all I can do at the moment, though slowly the foot seems to be improving, it's hard to say how much.
I managed a full Km of running, (no shuffling) it was ok, foot didn't complain, during or immediately after, and no post run pain, so that's good.
Today I visited the salt flats and sea bird sanctuary,, had a chat with the ducks... They think it's all quackers 😅

Well Erykha Badu your absolutely brilliant album Baduizm isn't an album to be losing a lung or two on a 1800m high Pyreneean mountain top to. It is more a sitting next to a log fire while looking at a Pyreneean mountain top album.
As we were going up, the 250m directly up, we were passed going downhill by two clearly local runners storming down. I kept an eye on them and they were zooming along the bit of flat trail that I deemed to be rough and near un-runable.

Morning 🌞
Out for a Sunday injury rehab shuffle this morning.
7.5Km - more shuffle / run, than shuffle / walk and that showed In the distance for an 1hr of running.
On the traffic light 🚦 scale, only a little mild discomfort, which I'll rate as a 3/10, so green light discomfort.
Today is the best my foot has felt for 2 months -
Which shows me this rehabilitation program, although frustrating is working. -

Well why we call something steep and sometimes put a quite naughty expletive in front really showed its face today. The two first bits of up, gave me a good workout and the last one was knackering but fun as it was a scramble up to the peak. Sadly the downhill was very steep also so not much running as there were many a zigzag and tree roots hidden under fallen leaves. So it was more a power hike than a run today.

Morning all.
Out again this morning for more injury rehab.
I took to the countryside for a nice 'young shuffle', while listening to the second part of my podcast about Somnology.
My foot is definitely getting better as my foot tiredness began when I stopped the watch, which is a great marker for my recovery.
This sign which has appeared in the last two days (Due to the upcoming Election) tickled me - they're moving quicker than me 🤣 -

Well that route turned to be maze and a obstacle course. So many paths going in any direction that wasn't on a map and loads of fallen trees along with streams crossing the trails or was it the other way around. Lost a kilometer but the climbing over and under stuff made up for that.

Another slow morning shuffle around my locale..an extra km because I wanted to finish my podcast, and I thought I probably could manage it without any issues, and this turned out to be a fact. The upside of being stuck in this slow shuffle mode is the almost constant low HR, so every cloud, eh. -
A question for French runners in that French France, crocodiles, alligators or swamp thing?
Managed to stay dry untill the last km, the lass told me that it rained heavily all the time I was running but the trees kept us dry for 8km and then we got soaked.

Morning all, first 5k in 7 days, and whoah, I needed that!
I hoped the weeks all stop would improve things, but it didn't. If anything it's regressed.So, now I'm gonna use active recovery with a traffic light system for metering in-activity pain - this same programme was last used successfully when I came back from a knee injury - so we'll see how small runs, slowly (using the Young Shuffle technique) and often works for my foot..Toes crossed, eh

What a brilliant little run, got all ready to get wet to the sound of rain on the roof of HQ and low clouds. As we opened the door it quickly turned to clear blue skies and sun warmed everything up fast. I did the longer and steeper route to the view point and meet up with the beautiful lass and Miss MoneyPenny. Where we enjoyed the stunning views, before we headed back together.

Tried out the effects of altitude training. We had to hide from some bad weather in the high Pyrenees and do some admin. So we took shelter in the low lands. Very humid and I took a wrong turn and missed out on 1km of planned distance. I think it was a correct turn as the off road bits was either sticky mud farm land or very overgrown paths, wet waist high grass, which was hard work, though the boy loves the tall grass. Watch said it would take 2h50m, I guesstimated 2h30m and I came in at 2h15m which I'm very happy about. And I planned departure correctly, as it started to rain as I got back to HQ.

The hills come alive to the sound of DAVE! DAVE! DAVE!*
Managed to get up just shy of 2000m, could feel it in the lungs and legs, so not so fast. The weather also started to turn with a rather chilly bite to it. We managed to find some snow which the boy loves to have a bit of zoomies in, how does he have the energy to do that after a 3km uphill ;)
* You have probably seen the meme of a Marmot shouting DAVE! Dunno what he is up to but they are clearly looking for him early morning. Which woke our two mutts up nice and early.

Yesterday it was a pea soup, about 5m clear visibility, now and again up to 20m. Not the best weather to go out in when the trails are unknown. Today we woke up above the clouds and ventured out to do little over 10km but because someone decided to put these stunning mountains in the way, it was not much of a run as I just had to fill my camera roll and therefore I missed a turn and didn't get to the lake I was aiming for ;)

Running about at ~1600m looking at the 2200m+ snow capped peaks. I've been up near the top of fews of these, where the lass has walked on the top of many of them. Still too much snow up there for me to play with, so I've have to live with the fact I can only look at them. I think it's a struggle I can just about handle ;)

On the other side of that 2800'ish meter high lump of rocks is our spirit home in the Pyrenees. It's been good to explore other valleys and col's but we can't wait to get "home" again. Yes, some of these mountains passes I've cycled in bygone years and even more has been done by the ever so stunning lass. She is out there riding one right now as I type this ;)

Good morning 🌞
A really beautiful sunrise this morning, so blessed to be out, and doing another day with 1km runs with a 300m walks, Now programmed this into the watch, as this is for the immediate future at least, is all I am allowed to do.
Like yesterday my right foot was tired at the end of this, so cold therapy, stretching when I got home, and a core workout.
Coffee and.breakfast now, as, a day of writing and procrastination is ahead 😅 #Running #BarefootRunning #VFFRunning #AlienRunners

Good morning 🌅
First run after bruising my heel a few weeks ago, then taking the last 8 days off, to help it not feel like my foot had been hobbled by Annie Wilkes's sledgehammer.
Today I walked for 250m, then ran a 1km then walked 250m and repeated until I was back home, useful post injury training, not generally how I like to run, but needs must.
Just done my post run cool down Stretching and also core, so now I need of coffee.

I think I passed French Trail running 101 level one - look like a French trail runner in French France - today, but failed level two - know where you are going.
For the first time ever I ended up in a trail running group, 15+ all kitted up, more runners that I've seen over the last four months of running.
They were arriving, going up, at the same fork in the trail as I was going down. They took one look at me and Paddy and asked us and not the runner ahead of us, if this was the correct way up?
Sadly this is where I failed level two and could only answer in my broken French - Désolé, aucune idée, c'est ma première fois ici.
Spent some time looking at the paragliders floating above us and out into the valley and the stunning mountains. A jolly good day out, even if it was like Blackpool beach (UK slang for a very crowded place and often said when you see 2-3 other the whole time you are out and about)

Followed the snow shoes route around this ski station started 1700m with an easy downhill down through the trees to 1450m and then a brutal uphill up to 1810m which opened up out to stunning views of the mountains. There was just enough snow for a zoomie from Paddy in one remaining drift. Arrived back at HQ and the griffon vultures arrived, are they expecting me to collapse into a heap? ;)

Another good run, if you could call it a run. Great trail up the hill and views through the trees, one cold toe dip in the snow melt run off, that was fresh. Down via a mountain bike route, that was rather steep and made it really hard to enjoy the fantastic views of the Pyrenees as your eyes had to be glued to the ground. Then around the lake which just kept asking for a snap of the snow capped mountains and their reflections in the lake. So not a fast run at all ;) Saw 3 other runner today, which is personal record, can't remember the last time I saw more than one other. Two of them were clearly out to do pace work for a PB or some other horrible zone thing. The last one was clearly out like me, outside time and fresh air in nature. No offense to the young lady, but she was clearly high as a kite in the "runners high" smiling like a loon, grin from ear to ear and bouncing along the trail. And when we passed each other she said Bon Jour like she was singing ;)
