Monday run

5 Replies

I found hills 🙃, I shall convince myself to like them 👍 admittedly they weren't the biggest (but does size really matter). They were scattered throughout my run and as a novice with gradients, I can certainly say I prefer running up, rather than down. The wind came from various angles sometimes favourable but mainly it was a cutting headwind, wise move opting for sleeves this morning. Had to dodge just the one obstacle, a pheasant I'm flight but definitely not in control of its direction.... Time to duck............ No not a duck a low flying pheasant 🤭...... And all back home safe for a cuppa and a shower (after stretches) just as the wintery weather arrived.....

Happy Monday running everyone

Sounds like an eventful run, well done on those hills, I too am working my way from little to large hills - slowly. Happy running

Impressed by your hill exploits! 👍 I know at some point I will have to give hill running a proper go, and I find the prospect a little scary!

Great running Imc50 and you got to see wildlife , always a bonus . I'm with you on running up hills I don't mind not to keen on running down but at least it gives us a wee break. Enjoy your tea😁

Well done! Hills are apparently good resistance training boosting speed & power unless you run into a pheasant of course😂
