I left my normally flat route today and ran up a hill (following a dried out mud footpath at the edge of a field) for 5 mins and back down again. The hill is the first uphill section of my planned post-graduation run, which is all off-road, mostly on trails, with some hills, woods and wooden bridges over gently rippling streams. It is exactly 5K. I have plotted it out on Strava. I am nowhere near being able to run it yet, but I thought I'd better get used to the first section. For R3 I might try a shorter version. My aim is to be able to go running like a deer, up hills, down dales. A bit like that scene in Lord of the Rings, you know? Or fell-running. I can't believe I just said that. youtu.be/hDkvpZRZ_rE?t=45s
