W6r2 running up that hill

Thought I would make it more interesting by creating a bit of a hilly challenge.

The 800 wood in Madingley was planted 10 years ago to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the university, and is laid out around the figure 8.

Before C25k I could just about run around the top of the 8, and today I did the whole figure of eight 3 times! The 8 loop involves running up and down a 220’ hill.

I’ll always remember the impact C25k has had on me as the wood grows taller each year. What a brilliant programme!
