Wk1 – 40 minutes of hills then Bodypump Express
I had a rather optimistic 7 miles of hills planned this morning, but I arranged to run with Jackie before her body pump class, and as it was the first hill session of the year, I decided it would be … Continue reading
Wk30 – 5.55k of 3 x 5 hills then Insanity Day 11
