No hills to be seen when driving!

W8R2 and decided to take a completely different route but didn't realise how hilly the route is as I normally drive it! I thought it was fairly flat with little hills - not steep hills! I'm not going to let it beat me though. I'm going to do the same route next time and see if I can get further. Still only running 3K in 28 mins!

Aint that the truth, all of a sudden what looks like a flat road normally has developed into mountains....I too found that out this morning when I did my run 1 of week 8 today, oh well onwards and upwards, dont worry about your distance its the amount of time you can run and the more stamina you build up the speed will come naturally, you are doing great :)

Easy when you're in the car isn't it? I've also noticed that roads that I'm convinced are completely flat when driving, have noticeable inclines! Where they come from is a complete mystery to me!
