Morning run 🏃‍♂️

Not done this route for a while. It’s a proper challenge with strong elevation gain over a relatively short distance. Today was supposed to be a 30 minute tempo at 7’57” pace with warm up and cool down, but I just fancied this route - not least for the sunrise at its highest point.

Although my average pace was 8’39”, the GAP wasn’t far off target pace for 30 minutes and I sustained it for the whole run. All in all, OK.
