Over the Hill

The thing is I struggled to get up one today.

I had planned to do my last long run tomorrow morning but, at the last minute, decided to do it today instead.
A banana, bagel and quick drink later I was on my way.

A bit stiff to start but then felt good. After nearly 6 miles in an hour - which is faster than I had intended - I had to run up a hill and my legs refused.

Finished with :-
8.6m
1hr 28m
150 avg bpm

The problem with my training is that I left it too late to decide to run, so I've concentrated on distance and stamina to get me around and, due to lack of time, not done enough hill work.
Unfortunately for me Mansfield half is basically a hill. Your either going up or coming down.

So we'll have to see how it goes.
There's not much I can do about it now except turn up and run - or jog - or walk - or the car might break down on the way.
See, there's plenty of options.
