I tried a bit of elevation training today by doing a few loops of the Castell Coch Hill Climb.

I started doing the shortest loop that includes Hamburger Hill, a steep and muddy decent. On my third loop I fell backwards and jarred my wrist so I did longer loops after this.

It’s a good way to get lots of elevation in but I was getting a bit bored so I finished off running back past Pugh’s and across the Iron Bridge.
