Morning Run: Back to the hill
@steevc just finished a 5.52km run, that lasted for 34 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 394.0 calories.
Description from Strava:
It was slightly chilly this morning, but fine for running. After feeding the chicken I headed to my regular haunt of West Drive for some intervals. I have not done this workout in a while and I feel like I need it. I sprint as best I can for 300m with a climb of about 6m. I take it easy on the way down to recover, but I wonder if I should do that even slower. I do this circuit five times, for now. The jog home was very gentle.
Previously I was able to do the sprints at about 5min/km, but I am a bit off that for now. For some runners that is a gentle jog, but it is the best I can do. I will try doing it every week or two to see if there is any improvement. I do not have any strict training regime, but then I am just doing all this for my health rather than to compete.
I volunteered for parkrun on Saturday. I may try getting the bike out on Sunday as I have not used it in a while. I bought new bar grips and a new helmet last year, so I ought to use them.
Run free and be nice to others.

I just do the best I can too. I know my pace is pretty slow, but I hope in time it will get better. Have fun if you get out on the bike. I need to get mine down and try to use it more this summer as well.
I will push myself, but not to extremes as it is not that important to be quick. I admire anyone who just gets out and does some exercise as many people are pretty sedentary and rarely break a sweat. I do think that it does me good even if my body seems to be wearing out in various ways.
I agree with you. I don't think I probably look much healthier on the outside, but I know it is making differences on the inside.
Keep going, you're smashing your training at the moment and getting stronger every day.

The hills just make the run almost twice as hard hahaha. The chickens got fed first, got your priorities, right lol. I hope the bike ride happens this weekend. Have a great rest of your day Mr Steve
I take as long as I need on the recovery, to feel ready for the next one. For me it is all about building slowly over time and not getting injured. I like you have to posts as a start line !BEER
Those posts are actually the finish. I start at a road hump down the hill. I could make it longer, but I'm finding this is enough. It's dead straight up there. I will try easing off on the recovery.
