On the running trail again

Another high front has settled across the region which means the return of clear skies and a warm sun (15 degrees ambient temperature but more like 25 in the sun). Andy was keen to have a bash at the run up Peguere and along the forest track that I did with Pat and Kev on Friday. I was keen to do some hill training on the Peguere road and the pooch was keen for a mooch, so off we went. We attempted to follow Kev and Pat's lead of run two, walk two of the road markings up the Peguere road in a hill interval type stylee and did indeed make a fine attempt at it before over-heating became a problem. The road has now been noted as our main hill training ground for the future, to improve stamina and endurance.... our target is to run the whole 3.5kms, ave 12% gradient, in one go (ahem!). Well, we can hope!

The rest of the run was wonderful, on superb terrain and fantastic views. 12kms in just under 2 hrs. It is set to become one of my favourite routes.
