What was meant to be an easy 4K run turned out to be quite hilly towards the end!

Freestyled my route today, just fancied a change - first 2K was relatively flat with some downhills, but then the last 2K was mostly uphill! It was hardwork but I felt great when I had finished, all good training! 😀

Definitely good training RC! I bet it was pretty warm running up those hills too. 🥵

Well done! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thank you! Yes was quite hot actually, but not looking forward when it's going to be 30+ degrees this week! Will have to get out even earlier to get my training in to avoid the heat! 🥵🥵🥵

Me too. I’m due to do 10k tomorrow, so I’ll need to go out at the crack of dawn. 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Good luck! 😀

How did your 10K run go?

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

It was great thanks RC, although it was very hot yesterday morning, even at 7am. Not as hot as today though - that wouldn’t have been enjoyable! 🥵🥵🥵

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Good I'm glad. I went for a run this morning at half 6 at it was already 19 degrees! I didn't have a great run in that heat, just dragged myself through it hahaha 🥵🥵🥵

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon in reply to Redcello41]

Those are the runs that make us stronger - well done you! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Yes, that's exactly what I said in my post about today's run! Those runs build endurance, physically and mentally! 😀

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you! Wasn't too bad, this morning was too hot though!

You have to take on the hills both up and down, it's very satisfying when you conquer them.

You have good weather, lucky you.

Enjoy your day.

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Thank you - yes great weather but this morning was far too hot!

[Hidden in reply to Redcello41]

In England maybe, just warm where i am. 🌤️

Can a physicist explain why, if running uphill is so tiring, are we not reenergised in equal measure running downhill? It seems to work for hybrid cars.

[Redcello41 Half Marathon in reply to HeavyFoot]

Yes that is a very good question. I wish we could do the same hahaha
