Week 1 run 3

[Lowrie1986]

Well im repeating my last run for week 1 as i left it so long between doing my first and 2nd run.

However, where i live is quite hilly and these hills are killing me! Downhill is easy! But when going uphill i feel ready to die!

They definitely add an extra level of challenge - but look on the bright side. If you start your running somewhere hilly, anywhere else you go must be easier!

I've just moved from somewhere pretty hilly to a much flatter area, and although it's definitely making these early weeks far easier than they've been in the past, I'm uncomfortably aware that if I run just about anywhere else, it's going to be much harder work... :/

Thats very true! It can only work in favour of building up stamina i suppose!

The other thing about them is you get a really clear sign of progress when you realise a few weeks down the line that you’re getting twice as far up before getting breathless, or you’re now running all the way up one which nearly killed you at the start...

Thats true! I look forward to that!
