Week 7 completed

Yippee I can run for 25 minutes x 3. I even did my extra hill which really took it out on my legs.

I recalled a post I had read, where someone said put one leg in front the other and I did that especially for my hill. It was a hill as I changed the route and it was a fairly steep decline and I realised that I had to learn how to slow down or else I feared I might topple over. Fortunately, I didn’t fall and then I turned and ran up the rather steep hill. I must be a glutton for punishment, where are the flat runs in this park? 😀 I’m yet to find it. I guess I need to start looking for flat park runs- so onto google search. Happy running everyone and keep smiling.🙂

Well done on tackling the hill - the more you do it, the easier it’ll become! 😀

The two parkruns local to me are hilly - one is notoriously so. I’m avoiding it for the moment, but one day ........ 😀🏃‍♀️😀

It took a lot to get up that hill, I started including it after I made a mistake when I change a route (week 6).

Well done🤗

Tackling hills shows real stamina and will really benefit you in the long run.

Best of luck for wk8 - but you'll be grand - just 6 runs left!

There are no hills at all where I live - which is great til I get to parkrun 20 miles away and then don't I know it😂

A rough guide to a flat parkrun would be the average time at the bottom... but the flattest ones round here are very popular with beginners and so slower than they should be.

Another good run in the bag... stay with those hills, you’re building extra endurance and speed for later.

Good job.
