Hey Mick, kudos for the early-morning hill sprints. And for 60-seconds too! That must have been a real killer. How long did it take before you hit that lactic acid threshold, where your legs stop functioning properly? :D

Sprints were not full on (probably 80% ish) as not run in a very long time and hill is not that high (but conveniently on my doorstep) so legs felt ok but calves were burning at end of sprint 3, will build this up gradually assuming I can still get up at 6am to do them!! Need to be able to say that I was 'fit at fifty' in both fitness and appearance.
