W7 R2 Variety?

So far throughout the programme I've stuck to a flat route, and it's been the same. I live in a hilly area and have limited flat routes. I e mapped a possible route today whilst dog walking..... bit it does have quite a few slopey parts!! As well as gates to negotiate. Should I go for it or play safe on my flat route..... which is challenging me!

I run on mostly flat with some slightly graduated parts and that’s tough enough for me so not keen to change until I don’t feel challenged anymore so I guess I’m saying if you’re still being challenged be careful not to push yourself too hard 😊

I would say go for an adventure. I am on week 5. I have been so bored doing the parks, and now I go where I feel like and I have discovered lovely places, and the world is smaller when you run. You discover how far you can go when you run. You won't regret it.

Definitely worth a try! If you hate it, you can just go back to your regular route but as the runs are getting longer now, it makes sense to find a few different routes that work for you, you'll need to add in some extra distance to fill those extra few minutes of running time!

Not what you're looking for?

There was enough ‘spare’ walking at the end that I could probably use the same route for week 8 -...
