Street Run/Jog
Another struggle in the heat - 3kms 18:40

what is the thousand steps? :confused:

It’s a track up at the National Park in Upper Ferntree Gully. Apparently it is somewhat like the Kokoda Track but around 1000 steps in distance. It is quite steep in places and very tough. The fastest guy did it in 13:50 and me almost twice as long! To do it well requires doing it quite often as it needs fairly specific training for the legs.

Nothing since Wednesday until -

way better than i expected - very pleased

you need to get some kind of mobile cool room, such as an ice-truck…

move to Dunedin, that’ll do it :rolleyes:

Lol if things continue like this i may have to or maybe Taswegia !!
