Rebuilding fitness and my "long run" is up to the dizzying heights of 9k. Decided to give one of my old routes a try that includes the muddy/hilly stretch behind Putney Vale Cemetery. Oof. Too fat and unfit to keep running the whole way, but I made it round eventually.
Am doing a lot more walking as Mrs GB's family is doing a steps challenge during Feb. 24 of us from 11 to 80 years old. I set out to do a minimum of 10k steps/day but this has increased to 20k/day, that should have a positive effect on my fitness.
Will pick a flatter and easier 10k route for next week.
I made a similar mistake last week: combining the long run (longest in a while) with not running on tarmac for the first time in a while. I was ruined by the end.
What kind of time investment is 20000 steps a day?!
