The plan was to be up at 6am and get out to the local fell and get 6 mile in before breakfast. In reality up at 8.30 and a quick cup of tea. Then a 5 min drive to Waldridge Fells.
A quick 5 min stretch (something I have sworn to do, after been diagnosed with Osteitis Pubis). I covered my watch and then away we go.
Then first mile is pretty flat but veey muddy. The trail then has a uphill mile through the farmers fields and a few stiles. I made it up without stopping and felt quite comfortable. I then have a mile of flat to regroup before the steeepest section. Which is muddy terrain followed by a tough steep road section ( i had to walk about 30 secs of this, as the stamina isnt there, yet!!!!)
I then reached the top of Charlow Fell and then dropped down a 1/2 mile technical section and walked and jogged back up. This gave me four mile and now the return downhill section back to the car.
The return to the car was about keeping my form, standing tall and quick short cadence. The stiles gave me a chance to see how the groin and adductors had coped (all seems fine).
8 miles and 1100 ft of climbing in a slow but confidence building 1h 23 mins. A few stretches and walk to finish.
Now to check what my coach has given me for the following week..
The final hill. Sneaking a pic amd a reason to walk 
The running part of the final hill 
The downhill return and concentrating on my form (standing tall)
