Went to my local parkrun park and concentrated on the hills,did 1k before then 3x3 hills then finished just under another 1k to cool down.

Hill work out
That sounds fun, hills are hard but exhilarating so well done you
Well done - sounds like a tough workout!🥵
That’s one of my favourite speed runs. Nice one!
I'm mainly practicing for my parkrun when doing the hill runs and I'm hoping it benefits me in the long run. My problem I find with parkrun is setting off to quick I think I'm a teenager at times lol 😆.
I run with my son in law sometimes and his pb is 22 minutes I'm over 8 minutes slower but I suppose that's to be expected with a nearly 30 year age gap . Sorry I do waffle on at times
We love a good waffle here! You’re not alone with setting off too fast. It’ll come with practice. I found doing regular hill:/interval/tempo/farlek took my PBs down. What made the biggest different was strength work though. That was a nice side effect of getting injured and needing to hit the gym to keep running.
Not a massive gym fan myself but definitely something I will need to look at,do you think one gym session a week will be beneficial?
Absolutely! I’m using “gym work” to mean strength work… it doesn’t have to be in a gym.
