For the past week it has been a real challenge to go out for a run, or even a walk because of the snow and ice. So I’ve attempted a few indoor exercise routines, never with great success. I decided to do what gardeners do this time of year when they can’t go outside, browse the catalogues, books and internet for ideas for the new season. This gave me an opportunity to think of a new training plan, find new routes, an opportunity to work on the strength training, music lists to run to and even update this blog. But frustration and stress is building up and I really need to get out.

The Guardian newspaper had an article on 20 walk-fit routes across the UK , divided in how many step you take, from 10,000 to 7,500 or 7km. So this might be a solution, obviously I can only attempt the Manchester one. It might also turnout a good running route.
