Скачать или смотреть Over 190 BPM! Pushing My Limits on the Hampstead Heath Parkrun Hills

We are back at Hampstead Heath for my second attempt at this course this year! Last time, I finished 2nd under "dubious" circumstances, but today the goal is simple: break the 20-minute barrier.

The Course: Two laps involving a notoriously "spicy" start/finish hill that can make or break your race.

The Challenge: I’ve admitted I’m not a fan of hills, and my fitness isn't quite where it used to be. To make matters worse, I may have made a critical error with my shoe choice; opting for road shoes on a course that felt like a cross-country mud bath by the end.

Join me as I battle a spiking heart rate (hitting the 190s!), a fading time cushion, and a sprint finish against a runner right on my tail. Did I go out too fast with a 3:35 first kilometre? And can I hold on up that final, grueling hill?

In this video:
Road shoes vs. Trail shoes vs. Super shoes.
The mystery of the "3, 2, 1, Parkrun!" countdown.
A heart rate monitor that can't decide if I'm alive or sprinting.
A frantic dash to the line.
