Great run today!

One of my favorite things to do is go exploring in the incredible mountains we live next to. So, when I recently found a very secluded spot in the foothills with miles of dirt roads spiderwebbing all over the place (it’s next to a power station and there are roads along all the power lines that come out of the station) I got excited to run there. Adria and I found it on Monday and today I did my 50 minute run there - with a Total Ascent of 639 ft and a Total Descent of 646 ft.

There’s a large hill that most normal people would look at and say “There’s no way I’m walking up that thing!” so naturally, when I saw it I thought “I want to run up that, without stopping”. I ran up it really slow, but I did it without stopping and managed to keep my HR under 170. I’m going to go back and take a picture of it and put it up here.

Anyway, the pains from yesterday’s run were gone and this was a really enjoyable run.

Overall Stats:

50 Minutes / Avg HR 147 (my target was 145) / 3.2 miles / Max HR 168

I’m not sure what Coach will think about my HR going up that much higher than my target, hopefully he’ll let me keep doing these trails.
