Most of it is about 20 metres over a 200 metres stretch, it's a bitch for my calves. Parts of it are like climbing rubbish really mild stairs - fine at first, but after a few hundred steps it starts to take an effect. Genuinely good exercise though, does get the heart pumping if you maintain even a relaxed pace. Just the nature of it.

That said, it wasn't too bad today, so perhaps I should just quit my bitching and crack on with it

Doesn't seem to have done my back any harm so I can't use that as an exuse either - BAH!

Just checked - one section is 10m elevation change in 100m, another is 15m over 200m, which aren't exactly gentle strolls. Just checked another bit - 10m over 150m.

Using a simple Google elevation map from Solwise, which isn't perfect but gives reasonable ballpark numbers

Plot that on your GPS elevation map and smoke it

Spent most my walk on the untreated, zero-traffic sideroads in the carriageway where that was less of an issue (keeping an eye out for traffic that never came, obviously)

Also, bear in mind most of you scrawny cunts aren't carrying an extra 6-8st over-average of potential energy, you fucking racing snakes. I've been dangerously underweight before (6ft/8st), I am more aware than people would like to be of the difference between the two

And it's not the level of analysis required to walk - I was generally planning on it once my back was a bit less tweeky because I'm getting to the stage where buying clothes from normal shops is not a realistic option, which is my general warning sign that I need to stop being a lazy cunt but Mito Man asked, so I decided to explain that it's not a smooooooth 50 in 1600 (1 in 32) incline, but a chunk of 1 in 10/15/20s grouped together with some flatter bits in between.

Which as a fat lazy cunt, is a bit more of a challenge than it is for you FUCKING RACING SNAKES.

Edit : If my math on the 1/whatevers is wrong, I have an important point to make - I don't care. Go finger your cat, yeah?
