Robert Song's Running

I'm over 50 and been running off and on since 1968. I have run everything from 800m to 10k on the track, to half marathons (PB 1:21 Brisbane 1993) and marathons (PB 2:53 Gold Coast 1985).

Another old "friend"

4k Hills. HR Avg 135 Max 177
Course: Monster Hill.
Start Time: 6:30 pm Temp 23C.
Session Type: Hill Training

Tonight I returned to another course I haven't done for years. This is my monster Hill. A 50m climb over 300m making it around 17% grade. I did three of these (2:10,2:13,2:20). The only problem with the hill now is there is a property at the top that has two dogs. As soon as I get close they start barking and barking. After the third one, I couldn't stand it anymore, so went back to my home street and ran up the hill there. This is a slightly gentler 15% grade and shorter. It only took 51 secs. I did one and called it a night.

And that was enough for today. Plan to increase the number I do each week but that was a good start tonight.
