2nd run today week1

[ch3lsea007]

My ten year old needs some hill training for X country league series that starts next week!!

Took her to a fairly local quarry for some hill and step running!

I much preferred this to Thursdays 2 mile slog. Shorter intensive power runs appear to be my stonger! point, hope not too sore tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey - well done to both of you. Good luck to your daughter for her x country league and hope that you don't suffer too much tomorrow and good luck with run 2.

Well done, especially if that was Kirtlington, you're a braver woman than me as I have enough problems walking down it, although upwards isn't too much of a problem. Good luck to your daughter in her x-country racing

Hi ladies, are you near me? I am in Kidlington. That hill in Kirtlington is a beast, even on a bike!

Hi Rollertoaster, I'm in Bicester so not too far from you.

Thanks for the good wishes for daughters Xcountry racing,

Yes it was Kirtlington quarry, bit intensive but old adage of no pain no gain and all that!!

I am also in Bicester, must be the flatest piece of Oxfordshire.

Going out for run 3 tonight, should have joined C25K earlier, blogs really help to spur you on knowing that you are not alone!

First time I've commented (although I read everyone's posts for motivation) but just wanted to chip in as I'm also in Bicester and am thankful for how flat it is every time I set off! I've managed to find a route that includes a gradual incline to push myself a bit. Off for week 3, run 1 tomorrow morning!
