Hills

Are one element of my training runs that I feel I am neglecting. Most of the courses I do are very, very flat.  So today I ran along some hills on Habour Drive and then out along the link road and back. I ran the hills fairly easy. There is no need to go hard on the hills, just incorporate them into normal training miles.

I notice that whenever I encounter hills in my races I slow down. I need to get stonger and hill running will do that. In Sydney I used to run President Avenue, and it had some big hills, I think I was a stronger runner for it.

12km (7.5 miles) 62:56 (5:42, 5:21, 5:03, 5:19, 5:21, 5:04, 5:10, 5:05, 5:05, 5:10, 5:28, 5:09) @ 5:15/km

I’ve booked accomodation for the December Half Marathon at the Entrance.
