News and articles from Running Training Plan
I’m really pleased that I’m leaving the cold behind.
The Hash tonight was from the Crown Inn at Regil and I wanted to push myself to get some training in for the hill climb in the relay. I did all the fishhooks (where a certain number of front runners have to run to the back of the group before ploughing on) and sprinted on my forefoot the last long one back.
