The last time I went to the
Nice Shop to buy some proper running shoes, they had me pile up and down St. Michael's Hill (it's steep, even for Bristol) a half-dozen times in different examples so they could 'check my gait' and watch me expire on the pavement afterwards.
This time, I biked up there, piled up and down St. Michael's Hill a half dozen times, biked home again and then expired in a heap.
Progress. Excellent. (Pardon my enthusiasm, this business of a 'beginner's running club' at work is (a) rather fun, and (b) kicking my arse.)
