Early days for me but I'm out there getting it done. I live in a hilly place and chose to turn left rather than right when I hit the street. It felt like a real workout because of the inclines, however I only have the slightest of aches in my calves. Roll on Tuesday!

Well done you - I’ve just graduated and still avoid all hills! 😂🐓

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

I graduated 4 weeks ago and still only tackling gentle slopes, very gentle

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

I guess we’ll slowly get there - slow is good!

[Grannyhugs Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Slow is very good, prevent injury and sustain longer distance yay we will be 10k runners

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yayyyyy! 🙌🏻

[Grannyhugs Graduate]

Great effort getting started and hills too. Take it easy. Remember to stretch out after every run especially with those hills. If it becomes a habit then it's not a hassle. Enjoy

[Big_maz in reply to Grannyhugs]

Yes really important to stretch as I found out on my first small rise good advice 😊

Well done 👍🏼 great that you built in some hill work too that’s brilliant for cardio 😄

[2flatfeet Graduate]

Well done!! I’m too cowardly to take the hilly option just yet, so well done you!👍

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

So far I’ve avoided hills..... well done you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

So glad you are enjoying it well done

[RunningMigster Graduate]

I too cant avoid hills. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to hit them on a 'walk' other times not so lucky.

Take 2 rest days between weeks 1 and 2. It made a huge difference for me and will give your shins more time to fully recover

Now that's a good heads-up. Many thanks.
