Hills- Do you prefer?: - Fun Beyond 10K & ...
Please select one:
Start off on a hill - a killer on the calves
Start off on a downhill - a killer on the knees
I said Flat all the way baby
But if there had been an option for running up and down hills in the middle when you're nice and warmed up, I would have ticked that.

Can we have an option of uphill or flat only, please (downhill kills my knees). I like hills in races, because that's where I can catch up with the competition - living at the top of a hill means that I get lots of practice on them. Downhill, as I've said up post, kills my knees, but is also the point where everyone I've just overtaken going up comes streaming past me
In my opinion, all races should be flat or uphill only, and should always finish on a hill (I must admit that this gives organisers a problem for devising circular routes, though).
Get the uphill over with and go downhill when I'm starting to get tired

Like Adam I live at the top of a hill (when I'm here in France) I love starting my runs downhill, but guess what? It means I have to climb back up to get home...yesterday I ran all the way for the first time....I'm catching you up in elevation JuJu!
