We’ve reached the end of this plan which means this week is slightly lighter. Let me know if you did want to pause, but if not I will continue with a new plan up until HHM in March as I feel like you’re making some good steady progress of late. I appreciate this week might need some changes too, so let me know if that is the case. Happy New Year Alison.

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.

Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
