Good morning 🌄

An excellent run to end the month.
No head torch today, I went out an hour later, deliberately in time for sunrise, and daylight though it was obscured by the clouds

Only 30% of this run was Zone 2, the rest of the time I was having too much bloody fun. Drills of 50m strides and 50m sprints in each of the last 3km. Plus a march up a 20% gradient hill, turns out it's quicker and more efficient than running it. Cool.

@robchapman It's an interesting thing to learn that somehow slowing down going up a hill is faster, isn't it? 🤷🏻 Nice way to end the month with some fun.

@WTL I tried running up this hill on Thursday, ended up getting bested by a chap possibly 20years my senior ..so I tried his approach, marching up it ..much better, faster, no stopping, no out of puff... Massive increase in efficiency.

@robchapman level 81 he reached and is well annoyed that he can only walk about 30min a day now, even with his bionic hip

@woollypigs reminds me of my grandma, she was extremely independent, walking daily, gardening, taking the bus to anywhere and everywhere then walking when she got there...she really disliked anything that hampered her ability to exercise and live life her way. The day she died, she refused to be taken from her house to the Ambulance on a stretcher opting instead to walk up her drive,, and get into the ambulance, when the doors were closed, she passed away. Absolutely Independent to the very end
