Lunch Run: Hill loop

steevc just finished a 5.7km run, that lasted for 34 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 424.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
I did watch the Euro final and it is not 'coming home', again. It was a good match, but Spain were the better team. We were just watching the England ladies playing in a qualifier for their tournament next year. The footie never stops.

I was in the office again and so needed to run from there. We had a big storm last night with a lot of rain, so I was unsure what the weather would do. It turned out okay in the end, but one of the underpasses was partly flooded. I could still get through without paddling.

I have done this loop plenty of times. It is a long slog up the hill to the lake, but it makes for a good workout. At least I get to go down the hill too, but then I have a climb at the end. Unlike electric cars I cannot store that downhill energy.

The pace was not too bad today, but I can see on Strava that I was a fair bit quicker a couple of years ago. I will try to keep up the 3 or 4 sessions each week to try and improve. I may actually run at parkrun this week after missing a few through holiday and volunteering.

Have a great week and run free!
