Just done run 3 so week 1 done. I have decided to do a different run for each run in a week so I cannot compare how I have done. Living near the top of a hill, some bits will be uphill ( hard) others downhill ( easier) virtually none level. The weather is brilliant so highly motivating, long may it last.

Week 2 here I come!

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement, it really does help.

Week 1 in the bag!!! Yey! Happy running! Love the idea of having different routes for each run of the week! I bet it keeps it real fresh!

Hills increasingly become your friend the longer you run, as there are exciting ways to train on them … like hill sprints!

You l’ve got that to look forward to! Happy hill running, you lucky hill dweller!

Flat running is overrated. 😆

I started running nearly five years ago. I live in a hilly area too. The flattest route I could find for starting Couch to 5K on had 30m of climb over about 1.5km.

The final 200m or so of the out-and-back route I was using was a very slight rise. Back then it was a real slog to do that last short stretch at the end of the run.

Every year on the anniversary of my first ever C25K run I do the Week 1 Run 1 again, to remind me of how far I've come. That rise feels like nothing nowadays.

Not what you're looking for?
