Week 2 Run 1

All done, really pleased with myself! We live in a really hilly area so have included some in my run as unless I want to drive some place else to run its pretty hard to find a route that doesn’t include them. Did panic a little as my second 90 seconds lined up with my biggest hill but just kept my feet moving and I made it. Not going to lie I got super excited when I heard the halfway bell and got to turn around as the whole return bit is downhill 😂. I love how excited I get for run day. Hope that continues.

Nice work... those hills will build strength (and speed) on the ups and joint strength on the downs... so if you can manage them, why not! Enjoy run 2

Well done, I find the hills pretty hard as well! I agree the downhill bit is so refreshing on the way back :)

Enjoy the rest of week 2
