Lunchtime run: To the woods!

avatar

I just finished a 6.053km running that lasted about 0hh:33mm:43ss !

This is part of my new running routine where I aim to get in two lunchtime runs each week instead of just one. We shall see how that goes. The weather is a bit iffy this week, but it was okay for my run. I decided to explore some different routes. A friend had mentioned a wood in the south of Stevenage. I followed one of the smaller roads to get these to avoid some of the traffic. I did cut through the parking area of a retail park which I would avoid next time. I do not want to be looking out for cars all the time.

The wood is quite extensive, but there was hardly anyone around. There is a maze of paths through it, but I just followed one that went generally northwards. It was a bit muddy in places and had obviously been used by cyclists. Lots of squirrels around there.

I had decided to go for a fairly quick pace and managed to maintain that most of the time even whilst dodging the mud. I managed not to trip over the roots. I shall be returning to explore some more.

My listening was Talk Python To Me and In Our Time.

I have already covered 36km in the first week of this year. I doubt I will maintain that over the year.

I tried to sync Strava to @exhaust to get this run loaded, but it was not found and so I just imported the GPX file. I have been checking out the Strava 'segments' where people designate a stretch to compare times, but I do not expect to be KOM (King of the mountain) on many of those. I see some people accidentally logged them in their cars, so there are some crazy times. It is all just a bit of fun.

Run free!

very good run and looks like you are off to a good start for 2020. Keep good health and the rest will follow. I'd like to run through the entire park, I'd get nervous running on any roads with distracted drivers and traffic.

Nice job! I started looking at my road the other day. We live on a dead end street and I got thinking once the weather gets better I could do some interval style training up and down the road. It is about 1000 ft. long exactly and I was thinking I could walk to one end, then jog/run down to the other. Then walk back and do it all over again for a couple of cycles.

Intervals are a really good exercise. You can just do as many as you like. I hope you can see some benefit.
