Hill Training Just Got Easier!

This is really what it looks like when the sun hits it right!

I have decided to continue hill training once a week as I find it makes a nice change!

Today when I went out of the door for a run I was very close to going for a half marathon but then, as I hadn't taken any water with me and couldn't be bothered to go home again, I changed my mind and thought I'd do the hill training as planned.

My Carpark!

It was so easy!! I went over to the multi-storey carpark as usual (don't worry, it's never busy in there as it costs so much to park) and ran up and down the slopes inside 10 times as usual (that's around 5k). I found that it required very little effort. This same training was killing me before Madrid marathon!

My training schedule for May and June is below, then the serious training for Berlin will begin.......

Mondays - Hill Training
Wednesdays - Somewhere between 10k and 15k (training my friend for her first half marathon)
Fridays - Whatever I feel like doing. Maybe interval, maybe hill, maybe run a half marathon....
Saturdays - 10k

Hill Training for Madrid Marathon!

Ok, so that's a bit of an exaggeration!

Last Sunday I started my hill training for Madrid Marathon :-)

The only problem is that I live in Denmark and hills are hard to find!

My Hill

Luckily I live very close to a multi story carpark. It is quite high and has 4 slopes I can run up with the last one (for some strange reason) much steeper that the others.

Last week I ran up and down 3 times! Today I ran up and down 4 times! Next week I will run up and down 5 times and so on and so forth until I travel to madrid. If that doesn't get me ready for the hills out there then nothing will.

I hate hills!!
