I’ve tweaked it slightly with the heel in mind. Tuesday is a bit of a brute. 90 mins off road with the club always an alternative and whilst probably not as beneficial as the hills in terms of fitness progression the pts on offer are almost the same. Then we keep it easy Thursday and Saturday? How are we feeling about the Pier to Pier now? Still keen to give it a go?

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
I had to create a new session for you guys. Have fun. 60 mins easy is perfect in terms of training load. Don’t forget those strides as well (if highlighted)
A stretching routine you can do daily to help with your flexibility. 30 seconds for each stretch is plenty.
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.
