I did a hill workout from Runna a few weeks back. Felt really good during it but my knees were screwed for 10 days after…I’m inclined to think (excuse the pun) that it was because of lazy jogging back down the hill on each rep. Will defo walk back down next time or really be aware of form of jogging back down

If you don't run a negative split in this event you are irretrievably broken! St Neots half also hilly but the last 5km is totally downhill. I don't believe there's a level foot on it at all. Enjoy

If you need a good hilly race you should all do - there are 2 clear contenders: - Comrades! Surely the ultimate road race with 'a few hills' in? It'd be great to see Andy's mind blown by the idea of running 90km - Everest Marathon: If you want hills - why not go the big one? 🤣 Either would be amazing to see and would be an epic adventure for the whole team!!!!! FYI - I went back to my local hilly trail loop (9km with 250m of elevation), strapping on the trail shoes for the first time in a year.... My "standard loop" went from 48mins last year to 57mins this week!!! I guess hill fitness drops off once you stop running them!!!
