Really good consistent week of hills running. Last Sunday was a rest day not planned but due mainly to family visitors arriving unexpected. Good chance to freshen up.
Of the 6 running days, three had good hills in them with more than 600 metres of vertical each.
I have a group mountain fun, training, exploration run planned for next weekend. On Thursday, I did the second recce to find the easiest way to get 4 mountain peaks covered in the one day. Unfortunately, low cloud meant not getting to the summits of the couple I wanted to visit. But, given a clear sunny day, the scenery & views will make it all worthwhile.
I have covered my first vertical target for the year now with 50,000 metres of up in five months. I'll again target 100,000 metres of vert for the year, so can slow down the requirements. Winter is not really the time to be standing on alpine mountain peaks. Snow is forecast down to 900 metres on the mountains behind Hobart on Sunday. Might get a chance to get up close soon.
Otherwise, all good.
