This is the hill I attempt once a month 🙈May not seem high to all the established runners but for me it’s a miracle especially as I still class myself as a newbie (June beginner).
I’m not quite at 10k but I really feel I can by the end of the month 🤞🏻
Does anyone find if they run every other day they don’t go as far 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve had a couple of times where because of work I’ve ran every two days and I’ve done quite well & gone that little bit further!
Well done on your hill work - great for improving strength! 💪
As for rest days, I think it's about finding what works for you. I often take 2 days rest after my long run and as long as I am fitting in 3 runs every 7/8 days, then all is good! It is important to listen to your body and not be afraid of taking those extra rest days when you need it. Also, a short break every now and then can often give us a bit of a boost!
Sounds like you are working this out for yourself - good luck on your journey to 10k.🙂
Amazing, well done! 👏. Hills are troublesome, for me it’s more mental as I’ve done a few now - no choice living in a hilly area. This one looks huge from the Strava map! Great achievement,
And the distance too!
Thank you 😊 it feels huge when you’re running it 🤣 I try not to look at it too much when I do it - I focus on the song I’m listening to, to keep my mind focused
That’s so good, I think you should run the way that makes you feel good! Are you trail or road?
Well usually I road run, I’ve stuck to the exact same route minus the hill since I started in June. The hill is along my usual route but I’m working towards getting my 5k under 30 minutes
I try to keep inclines to a minimum when aim for a fast run. At the moment I’m happy with my pace but I will have to research local places with hills and get started apparently it’s good for burning calories too. I think that by the time I lose the extra few stone I still have I will manage to get that bit quicker too 😁
Yes my usual run is flat slight incline here and there but not really anything. I’m hoping to shed a few more pounds and continue with this fitness journey 😊 Have a happy Sunday x
Just saw your blurb. Your amazing!! Well done on your journey so far!
Awwww thank you 😊 tbh I was lying in bed typing earlier 🙈 #lazysunday but then I got the bug 🤷🏻♀️🏃🏾♀️ so I’ve just got back from a 5k 🤣 thought to myself - why am I chatting it when I could enjoy the sunshine ☀️ so thank you!!
Fantastic 😍
Well done and you are definitely going to manage 10k very soon.
I run every third day and it suits me. Every other day can be a bit intense, especially when there is a weekly long run.
Well done on conquering your hill
We find if we have an extra rest day or two we run on fresh legs
Thank you 😊 Yes that’s how I felt when I missed a couple of days instead of one! Felt like I could actually keep going!! Bizarre isn’t it 🤷🏻♀️ x
Nearly at the Scottish Border LEJOG04 
Gremlins nearly won out
So nearly... 
A 5k bimble on a near winter's day
