Finally ...

[Speedy60]

... achieved my March goal to get up Bitch Hill without stopping. 🥳

Doing it on a run when I was trying to do 16k probably wasn't such a good idea though.🥴

Still, always good to have something new to aim for ...

Well done! You own that hill! 😁🤩

Good run for you today Speedy60 up Bitch Hill without stopping, well done, I wonder why they call it Bitch Hill, perhaps named after a nasty lady..

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

'They' call it Esplanade Road. I call it Bitch Hill 😉🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

O I get it🤣🤣😂

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Named after me, actually. 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations, it's a great feeling when you achieve something else in running . Especially a tough hill🥳🥳🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[MartinKH Graduate10]

Great that you achieved this in such a long run.

Well done 👍💪

[Timotea Graduate10]

Oooff! That’s incredible. Cannot even imagine 16k. Most impressive that it was uphill too. I’ll be running in the rain tomorrow....

Well done you beat the hill and ran so far

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Ooh I love hills, but never tried on that length of a run. Fantastic effort - great distance and speed. Happy running 🤗

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I hate hills! I'm trying to learn to love them. I live on the coast (my house is actually on reclaimed land below sea level 😳). Then there are limestone outcrops producing b****y great hills. I can run low and flat, or I can run high and flat, or I can run from low to high to low again.

For the whole of c25k, I ran low (obs). Now I need to decide each run whether I'm going for hills or distance. Today has shown me I can't do both - yet!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Speedy60]

I did flat until January them made determined effort to learn hills. It’s worth it in the end. Have fun 🤗

[Speedy60 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Hills definitely have an impact on my stamina. I had been avoiding this particular run because of social distancing. I went for it today on a whim because there was nobody about in the rain. I don't know when I'll get to do it again.

Well done - conquering a hill is very satisfying!💪Great run too!🙂

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]
