Tonight I have hill work!!
OK so Spans is being nice to me to ease me into the suffering but it still sounds painful!
Warm up
4 sets of 90s uphill
jog back
Cool Down
Bath
and
Relax!
Not going to worry about any gadgets, just me and the watch!
Watch this space!
Wind swept Pixie ....
Tad windy when I got home! Trees kind of bent and lots of leaves blowing about! warm up started off well except the council have decided to bloke an unofficial footparg between 2 roads with a small fence and a line of trees! So I had to hop over the fence! Then I turned the corner and hit a wall of wind! Fortunatly my hill was sheltered! Phew! So I only got wind swept on the warm up and cool down, but it was windy enough to make me cold in my tee and capri legs.
I had worked out that I should do about 0.1m in 90secs and that from the front lip of the bottom speed bump and the bottom of the hill, to the house at the top was 0.12m.
So I used that as my marker!
It took 1.21 -1.22 mins each time so a consistent pace (good!), recovery was 1.58-2.10 mins (depending on traffic - why people want to get into their driveways with their cars I don't know!!)
1m warm up (approx 1m and approx 12mins)
0.5m cool down
1st hill - not bad, maybe I should do and extra 1 or 2 to make up for last week?
2nd hill - maybe an extra 1
3rd hill - 4 sets I believe so 1 to go!
4th hill - phew!
Got home to see the plumber arriving which meant delayed bath meaning cold Pixie as it was blowing a gail outside!

[settles down to watch said space..]
:o)
Don't be tempted to make up for lost runs by doing extra, as yoda might say - "to the path of injury that leads"
you warmed up yet Caff and Leon??
Hills may better be described as long upward slope but definatly a hill in my book! When in Berkshire my hills were canal bridges and now I live on a hill!
