Climbing the Dumyat in Stirling
Got up at 6.30am today - ready to climb the Dumyat, a nice little hill near Stirling (http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/stirling/dumyat/index.html). I climbed up with my best friend Jonny and it felt great. My fitness levels were pretty good and I really enjoyed the fresh early morning air. I saw one guy running down as we were climbing up - that looked great. I think I’m going to try that over the next fews weeks.
Yesterday (Saturday) I went for a good 2 mile hilly run on grass/dirt. My knees felt much stronger since starting with the personal training - really happy with that.
I did take a good 10 minutes to get my second wind though which was longer than I thought - we’ll see how that goes over the next couple of weeks. I don’t want to push back into running too quickly and get injured. I’ll stick with the personal training and slowly get back into running over the next 4-6 weeks.
Ta, Mark
