Not the best pic but the view from the top of my hilly 10k/6 mile run today - from my house, up past Skinners Cottage, through Denside of Durris and down past Durris House. View is towards Morven and the Cairngorms (which unfortunately were covered in cloud). Its steep (see below taken from Garmin) but not that high. I think ascent is 500ft. Unfortunately for my thighs, thats 500ft is spread only over about 3 miles, and 350ft of it over 1/2 a mile. Interesting breathing techniques called for ha ha! Mind you, once initial pull was over, I switched off and began looking about and humming (my ipod had run out of batteries - crisis!) and just let my legs turn underneath me.
Green is ascent
Red is HR (bpm)
Blue is pace
Still, really lovely run, now a firm favourite, and 1:09:13 which I'm pleased with (I wouldnt be if it was flat but hills are fab excuses for slow times ;)
