Continuous Hills

10 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Find a hilly route and push the pace a little. The uphills will naturally make the RPE increase. Try to attack the downhills as well, then ease off a touch on the flat. This is a session though so effort should be quite high during the 40 mins on.

Don’t think you can beat this session given the hills in the Forest of Dean. Happy to discuss a route. I quite like the one hill approach as it’s a mental challenge as well. But you still want to enjoy it as well.

😁 Good pace given the conditions/route

PACE

Probably worked a little harder than I should have considering my leg still not 100% so I stopped at 30min or 5mile picked a pretty good stretch of path for this although stopping to turn around at each end was not ideal, I really need to find a nice trail loop about a mile long for these types of session maybe have to investigate battle great wood. Legs feels ok after that, little bit of discomfort but the morning will tell the real story I think if its painful in the morning I will hit the bike instead of doing the run.

Fantastic pace Steve. Really impressed and glad the leg allowed you to do this one. Battle Woods does have some rolling hills, but I always find it quite boring, but perhaps worth a try. Fingers crossed the easy miles over the weekend help with the recovery.
