52-55 minutes.
Fairly certain when my slight injury heals, I can do it in under 50.
I do squats but that's about it. Still with love handles and at 170-173lbs. 90% of it is mental imo, I breathe so hard, people look at me like I'm going to croak - it's about pacing yourself and driving through with your feet, use hips, and chest up.
Haha, sub 35 is actually what I think is really quick. But LOL I breathe hard as well so you're not alone. TBH I only started actually working out my legs over the last year. I've been doing the GG for over 5 years now and I always had skinny ass legs (people used to call me out on that), but I wouldn't care when I'm flying by most guys on the grind. Now I do squats regularly, but I wouldn't say that I find that it made the GG any easier, just my $0.02.

I say this every year to people who want to get better, cycling does wonders. Fastest guys up the GG are always the pro/semi-pro cyclists, and it's not a coincidence.
