Run 1, wk 2: hills!

Hi, I live in a very hilly area (steep hills) and I can foresee this may be by downfall. Would you recommend I drive to a flat area or just take it in my stride and build for this from the start? Thank you

Hi Liliuk, I am sorry that I am no expert on starting in a hilly area. There is someone on this forum who lives in a hilly area and has progressed. You could always give it a go and make your future decision based on how you find it. I am in a hilly area, but there are also flatter bits. I confess that I avoided the hills for a number of weeks first, but am tackling them now. It seems that you are already on week 2. So well done! Take it slow and steady. All the very best for your runs. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thank you 🙂 It's a struggle so I may try and avoid them in the beginning, or perhaps keep them for the end. Thank you and all the best!
