A walk in the hills

Staying at our rented cottage up in north wales for the weekend where my husband is working away. No running (we are right up in the mountains) but had a lovely long walk this afternoon. Now I have been a bit cautious about where I walk up here because I’ve been worried about my lack of fitness. Today however I’ve tackled some serious ascents and my legs haven’t let me down. I was delighted to find that having been on the programme for only 5 weeks I’ve noticed a real improvement in my stamina and strength, enabling me to actually enjoy the mountain walks. Feeling more confident about the challenges to come 😁😁🏔🏔

That such a lovely thing noticing fitness in other area. I walk alot and have walked in many mountains in the past so love how it makes me feel fitter, even when carrying a toddler on my back xx
