Week 47 - Reversing the Trend

Running:  Year to Date

Distance:  3,668.4 kms in 47 weeks at ave  78.05 km ( up from 77.8 kms in weeks 46)

Last week:  90.4 kms

Altitude:  91,805 metres in 47 weeks at ave  1,953 metres ( up from 1,928 metres in week 46)

Last week:  3,133 metres

As the year draws to a close, it's getting harder to move the averages.
I have been chasing a target of 100,000 metres of altitude gain in this year. A couple of good elevation runs in the past 7 days have moved the vert average up a bit. Getting that back above 2,000 metres is dreaming.
Today's run was only 18.7 kms but I got almost 1,100 metres out of it doing a double over a hill behind Glenorchy ( northern Hobart suburb).
For a change, it was all fire trail. However, some was rocky & steep & slow going. It was good fun and a course I will do again. It's only a 5 minute drive from home. I wouldn't run there as it's all bike path and road.
The vert challenge is there to be met. Just need a few weeks of nice weather. Not hopeful, as we can't get more than a day or so of reasonable conditions in a row.
