Add a sense of adventure to lockdown exercise with a microchallenge Peter Watson © Provided by The Independent
It’s midwinter, bitingly cold and I’m out for my regular lockdown run. But I’m not where I’m supposed to be. Having deviated dramatically from my usual route, I’ve hauled my way up a punishingly steep hill to the edge of town. Why? It’s all in the name of adventure.
My typical route follows a mostly flat and agreeable trail that avoids the torturous ascents and knee-pounding descents that define the rural town where I live. Located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, the market town of Richmond, with its Norman castle, Georgian architecture and cobbled market place, is utterly charming. But it is an exhausting place to exercise. As such, and rather counter-intuitively, I’ve honed my running route to avoid the worst of the town’s contours.
