Yesterday I did my first big hill run with Kristen. She took me to the Strathcona Science Park just off 17st (10 min from my place!) and there's a service road that lots of runners use for training. It's half a kilometer bottom to top. A bit long, but it's great! It killed me. We did 3 repeats to start, since she hasn't been running and since it was my first time hill training.
I plan to go back, and work my way up to about 6-7 repeats total within a month or so. I have to remember warm up and cool down next time though! Also, taking Nathan there on Saturday since he wants to start running!
It is a very boring road, but it'll do for once a week seeing as it's a perfect hill, and it's not too far away.
