Friday Birchen to Gardoms Edge Run 3 miles

Well today is Friday and once again the weather is quite hot and close and I didn't feel like doing my weights routine but as tonight is pub night I thought I would have to push myself to do something to burn off some calories for a few beers

So I decided to go for a run but do a different route rather than the normal baslow edge run and so I opted for a route I used to run on a regular basis

The route takes you up below birchen edge and down to the robin hood pub along the main road for a short while and then up a long hillside to the top of gardoms edge and then along the top and back down to the start , the route is a little shorter at 3.04 miles but has 2 uphill sections with a total height ascended of 156 meters

The run was very hard particularly the hill up to gardoms edge , but my time was reasonable and my heart rates were ok I will have a datum now to check against when I do this route again

time taken 39.39 minutes
maximum heart rate 165
average heart rate 144
distance 3.04 mile
height ascended 156 meters
