Running Up that Hill

So I live in a hilly area and no matter which way I run, I have to come back up a hill to get home. I normally save the steepest part for my cool down walk but last night I finally made it all the way to the top. I'm so chuffed with myself!

I did see an abandoned shopping trolley at the bottom of the hill and contemplated for a mo using this to lean on as I ran up! :)

I’m in the same boat regarding hills, I have set my music with steady tempo for the hills and as yet it seems to be working 😃 good luck and keep going !

Well done 👍 well you won’t need to learn how to do hill starts as part of post graduation training 😂 You will have better stamina than us who have done all our runs on flat ground.
