You can run 5 mph? I can't run so that sounds really fast to me over a long distance. Like anything over 100 yards. Last week on my first mountain climb, I stopped to eat something and instead of just standing there I started walking. It too was steep like 8% and we were 15 miles into it. I was walking 1 mph! When I stopped I was only doing 4mph. That food break really helped cuz I jumped up to 5 mph when I got back on! Reality is right, uphill is UPHILL. Just curious, what gear were you in for that uphill?
