Back in 2003 I had an awesome summer racing the many summer evening hill races.
I remember in one Harrock hill race reaching the steepest climb and digging deep down inside myself, pushing into the red, I turned my legs over faster and faster taking short powerful strides.
I passed runner after runner in front of me, like they were stuck to the ground.
I felt like a Tour De France climber on the attack, it was a good feeling and I want it back.
I've been feeling more sluggish on climbs of late, taking longer strides I've been bogging down like a rider using too big a gear.
After reading this ARTICLE I decided to work on faster leg turnover on the climbs, yesterdays hill run brought back to me just how effectively this works in practice.

Congratulations! I trust you did not feel like a TdF rider because you were full of drugs!
