Not a lot happening on the walking front apart from a circuitous 4 miler at work. GPS all over the shop !
Weekly total = 55 miles.
I continued reading the fellrnr wiki and came across this interesting chart. It’s called the Ivan Scale of Perceived Suffering and is explained, in the wiki, as…
“This scale is a result of many runs and races where mental toughness was the greatest challenge. Scales of perceived exertion or perceived effort can be useful, but these do not apply well when the limiting factor is not how intensely you are exercising. This scale of is based on how much perceived suffering is experienced. On a 100 mile race, it is possible to have a low perceived effort, but undergo immense suffering.”
