It was quite a cool morning with a nice breeze so I decided to try a different route and go for my first 10k run, and longest run, for almost 2 months. Slogged up the hill, then thought I’d try a different route so turned off at the crossroads to see where the road went. As I went further and further downhill I thought to myself “uh oh I’m going to regret this on the way back”. Anyway, I veered off into the vines rather than end up on the main road and headed back towards Monbazillac. Yep, I regretted it alright! That is one heck of a hill. Sadly Strava decided to give up on me at 5.7k but thank goodness I was doing NRC 10k guided run. Stats - 10k in 1:11:19, 209m of elevation. Km 3 had 82m of downhill and km 6 had 76m of uphill. Told you it was a steep one didn’t I?

Happy Monday 😃🏃♀️

The first half was much quicker than the second half 😂 It really was a v-shaped run! Sun’s out here again now after a cooler day yesterday and a thunderstorm on Saturday lunchtime, but a bit of respite on the temperature until it goes back up
What a lovely run Sandie, and like us , hills are not plentiful in Lincoln so you don’t get a lot of practice at home.
You are such a strong runner now and your time for a hilly run is still faster than my flat PB. It will be interesting to see how much you improve over the next month.
