that people share links on here. Thankyou so much, Sandraj39 , for sharing the article about hill running at the week-end. The advice within to maintain your effort not your speed on hills (steep inclines) has helped me so much and is keeping me focused on some non running related frustrations too!

I like the advice and links shared. I have trouble doing my core exercises and was sent useful links. The problem is disciplining myself to actually do them.

Having moved home I now have to face a hill (only talking about 300 metres , not Everest ) to and from home to the lake I run around. Am wary especially going downhill more than uphill with leaves about.

And it definitely helps with the non running life issues too.

My 'hills' are definitely not Everest! I've never run consistently on the flat - I'm now working on the theory that if I ever do my times will increase!

Glad you found it useful pollyp1! I also found that tip helped me with hills, as well as remembering to stay upright and not lean in to it too much. Onwards and upwards (literally😉)
