Is it my imagination or does road walking tire you out more than hill walking?
When I can't get on to the hills I try to maintain exercise by doing a walk of about three to five miles along our local prom. I usually average about 3mph
When I get back I feel that there has been as much or more strain on my legs and feet than doing a similar distance on the hills.
I'm wondering whether it's to do with walking on a harder surface combined with my steps and gait being more repetitive.
Anyone got any thoughts on it?
