Up hill and down hill

Today's run with the Hallamshire Harriers in Sheffield was 8x hard up a hill and jog down for recovery. The hill takes about 1:30 to run (probably around 400m) and steepens slightly for the last 1/3 after it goes under a railway bridge.

A bit worried that my legs would still be tired from Sunday but they weren't too bad. Legs felt a bit heavier towards the end of each set but I could still hold form and pace fairly well. Didn't really "kick" hard on any of the sets.

It takes about 10 minutes to get to the hill which serves as a nice little warmup. Was amongst the first to finish all 8 sets (two faster runners did more sets) and ran back to the club house with a fell running (racing up and down hills/mountains) specialist a bit quicker than on the way out.

Location 53°N 1°W
