I decided yesterday would be a good a day as any to stomp up and down the UK's second highest mountain (for I think the 5th time) and I did it in 4h12 🙌🏽
Which is fast. I'm not even joking when I say I jogged most of the descent and I'm not a runner.
I didn’t even PLAN to be fast. I just went out by myself, decided last minute to scramble the ridge and then started pushing my pace to the top.
I was up to the summit in 2h30 and then feeling good on the way down I just started jogging the steeper sections and letting gravity do the work 🤷🏽♀️
I always challenge myself during what I call my "performance zone" which is the first half of my menstrual cycle. I train harder and more frequently, with fewer rest days because I either don't need them or I know they're coming in the next phase.
This just means that whether I'm doing a lot of activity or not (usually not 😅) in the 2nd half, my overall fitness just gets better every month!
I mean bloody hell talk about simplicity - adding this to the long list of things I wish I'd known since my early 20s 🔐
