Decent session this!! A good all round workout, working all the key muscle group and the fundamental movement patterns.
So I’ve added in the gym sessions. Should be able to get them done in under the hour. Tweak the weights. Keep them light to start with, you can always add to them. Worst thing to do is go too heavy and wake up the next day and not be able move. NYD parkrun also an option if you fancied that. Happy New Year Karl. I think 2026 is going to be a great year for you and your running.

Find a location where you can pick different points on the hill. Lamp posts are great. So for example you would run to the first lamppost and back to the bottom of the hill. Then to the second lamppost and back. Keep making the reps longer until you hit 20 mins, and then start making the reps shorter again.
Focus on effort level rather than pace or heart rate as both will fluctuate depending if you are going up or down the hill
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
