Three tough hill repeats made this a real strength-building workout, with 206 metres of climbing packed into just 7.4 km. I kept pushing the climbs, earning three achievements while closing my 700-calorie goal early in the day. My average cadence was 56 as I focused on steady power rather than speed. The effort was intense, with nearly 80% of the workout spent in Heart Rate Zones 4 and 5. Another solid step toward building stronger climbing legs and better endurance for the trails.

The Classic 'Duck Run'

This channel is a collection of voice recordings that capture little slices of my life here in Victoria. Most often, I’m out on the running trails, sharing the sounds and stories I encounter along the way, but sometimes the recordings wander into other moments too. Each episode is usually trimmed down from longer sessions, keeping things focused and under an hour so it’s easy to listen to. I like to think of it as a mix of running journal, local atmosphere, and personal reflection. I hope you enjoy the show and come along with me for the journey.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.
