I wasn't allowed to comment at the other blog so I'll put it here: I often used to stop at the top of a hill to look around and take a breather, but recently I've taken to recover from the extra exertion of a hill while continuing on. For fitness benefits it sounds like this is supported by the data from your experiment.
Hi John - I think we took comments off because of some issues we've had when a blog is open to HS kids!
Jamie - yeh, stops are probably not as long in running because you don't have to de-pole and de-glove to tie your shoe then re-glove and re-pole, but they are probably as frequent.

ReplyDeleteI'll keep this in mind for when our XC season starts this summer. Good stuff, Jeff.
