With all the rain, last weekend was the first opportunity this year to cut the hedges… a six-foot one at the front and a ten-foot one at the back. Not doing this as a day-job means that I ached so much after the first one that I had the leave the other to the next day!
So when it came to deciding how far to run in between, I hedged my bets and chose a short distance of intervals on the machine.
I set the base level at 6mph, then increased the other quarter-mile each time from 7mph to 10mph by which time I had covered 2 miles. I repeated this and then did 6-7-8-7 in the final mile.
5 miles in just under 43 minutes, averaging about 7mph.
I did have lots of thoughts at the time, but I somehow managed to forget to post and any thoughts have been deleted from my (very) short-term memory!
