Note to self... just because a hill doesn't look very steep on google maps does not mean it isn't steep in real life! π«
So i manage both of the three minute runs but the last minute if my first run was on a moderate incline... the hardest part of the run, just as I was struggling and the road started to incline! Ooops BUT i completed the 3 minutes and was very proud...
But then I turned the corner and was faced with a huge and very steep hill. So i didn't have time to fully recover before the next 90s run. I ended up having to walk it. Fortunately, by the time the next 3 minute run rolled round, i was on the straight and ready to run again. I completed this one easier than the last and felt like I had acomplished the most challenging part.
After my 3 min cool down walk, i tagged on a little extra light jogging to compensate for the missed run and then put the rest down to experience. I'm still very pleased with what I accomplished today and feel that, had my route not challenged me so much, it was well within my grasp!
Hope everyone else is going well xx
Wow! Well done!
That is definitely not a failure.
As I'm sure I've said, I don't like the idea of taking on gradient at the moment.
I think what you've accomplished today is brilliant.
Thank you π the hills are definitely an additional challenge that i don't feel quite ready for! X
I feel like a cheat already as we live in Cambridge, would have to run a lot further than 5k to even find a hill π
I'd much rather avoid them at all costs! π my normal route is pretty flat (or very gradual incline/decline) just around my local area but im thinking of trying a different rpute today... at the risk of more hills π
