Thanks for the repy DCB..

I'm currently doing 250 miles a week running on the m8 from Glasgow to livingston (about 1/2 way to edinburgh)

So i'm actually in the "green" section of the topography, mainly gentle, long hills that I have, and i've pretty much got it down pat for the hills as is.

Do you reckon the drop to 60 could cause issues in doing 2 pulse/glides to get up a hill?
