I'm sure many of you have been doing this for years, but I recently heard about it and gave it a try. No s#!t it works.

I count ten strokes on the left leg then ten on the right and repeat till I get over the hill. I was motoring up the inclines today. Essentially I'm focusing on one leg for a while, then switching legs. Purely psychological, but it works for me.

Just something for the fellow newbies to put in their bag of tricks.
