Confounding the laws of physics? Speedwork on a hill ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜‚

How does this compute? Same stretch of hill. The session alternates a 15s sprint at 10/10 effort (then recovery jog back down) with 45s at 6/10 (recovery jog). I thought I was sprinting for the 15s intervals. I thought I was taking it a bit easier on the 45s ones. My 45s intervals are recorded as being faster than my sprints! Hilarious, if a tad perplexing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

It is. In part, just trying to make sense of these weirdnesses. Most entertaining.๐Ÿ˜†

I think when the Gremlins cannot stop us running, they move into the tech. ๐Ÿคฃ I often find the harder I think Iโ€™ve worked, the less my watch tells me Iโ€™ve done. ๐Ÿ˜ณ I can arrive home dripping and it says Iโ€™ve been in Zones 1&2. Sometimes I wonder if a voice will eventually scream in my earโ€ฆ. โ€œGet Going!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿ˜‚ Hadnโ€™t thought of that, but itโ€™s a good thought.

Not sure but I have something similar with my local parkruns. One of them, Meadowmill, is fairly flat, the other Vogrie, has a couple of climbs which, being a 2 lapper, you have to do twice. Guess which one I have my parkrun PB on? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿค”

My local one, Chadderton Hall Park has four laps with an S shaped steep climb about three quarters of the way round. (And there's the accompanying downhill slope about one quarter of the way round.)
