Just about to complete week 2. Foolishly, I have tried to continue whilst visiting family in Sheffield: not the flattest if places!

I loved Sheffield as a student but yes, those hills can be punishing. Especially after you've been out for a night on the tiles. Still, they will be good for building your stamina. :p

The Five Wiers is a nice run. Maybe have a look at that next time you're visiting in the area.
