I am currently training for a marathon, but training in East London isn't actually the best place to train as it is super flat. There are no hills to practice on. So after speaking to my Ironman/Triathlete friend he invited me out to Guildford this weekend to go hill running through the countryside. Actually the original plan was for us to go cycling and then running but thankfully it was predicted rain so I managed to get out of the cycle ride portion!!
IN all honesty it was a good thing the cycle ride got cancelled as I would have ended up pushing my bike most of the way - Surrey is seriously hilly!!! Last years' Olympic Cycling Road race route took in parts of the Guildford surrounding area due to it's challenging hills!!
So although it was a painful run, the scenery was spectacular. No pain, no gain in every sense!
