This was supposed to be the easy one! Joined the 5.5 mile group to try and get a nice relaxed run in, but Mr. Barzee had other ideas and made us run up the West Hill, Parker Road and Fox Walk! The bugger.
Took it pretty easy for the most part, so much that my watch beeped telling me my heart rate was too low (<100), pushed up Fox Walk as I wanted to get the heart rate up just a bit. 250m climbing over 10k, what a naughty man.
Felt fine, just not as relaxing as anticipated!
Yeah this one caused a bit of a stir as I did question the logic of such a hilly run. He had his knee operation the day after too. Oh well, hopefully my suggestion on the coaches group (are you on there?) didn’t offend too many and they eventually understood what I was trying to get at. In case you did miss it, I suggested why not include the elevation as well as miles beforehand so runners can pick the right group for them. Easily done if the run leader plans the route like they should. Some kicked off at me, namely Nick Webb, but I thought it was a good idea. Poor Michelle turned up for an easy run and was ruined by the end. Rant over. Well done Sam.
