Elevation nearly floored me

Went out for a short run so I thought, ended up running 8.5 miles and elevations of 550ft, my little legs were shaking from tiredness, all for the sake of training for the hm in May. Oh boy, I am so tired now, those hills were killers.

Well done! I can fully sympathize with your elevation consternation. Onwards and so it seems upwards! 😊

Yes, I must be mad though at my age especially, but I do love it.

Seriously impressive. 170m climbing and an average heart rate of only 136 bpm. You are pretty fit, and that sort of run will make you fitter quick.

Wow. That was a tough run for sure! Enjoy a well deserved rest now. Is your HM going to be that hilly?
