Most of mine are fairly flat as i tend to run on bridleways by the canal. I do have a few routes which have hills but not too many. In my old house i seemed to live higher than everywhere so it seemed no matter what direction i went in i was always going downhill which then meant uphill on the last mile!
Now it seems to be the opposite whereby most routes from home start off uphill and then down on the way back. Works much better!
I've done a decent amount recently. Up to 23 miles for August so on track to hit my goal. Have done 4 days in a row though and my legs are feeling a little achey today so going for a rest. I seem to be running quicker and then tiring myself out after a few miles. It's alright on shorter runs around 3-4 miles but i felt i tailed off the other night aiming for 8 (and doing 7)
I think i'm going to set my September goal to be keep all my runs under 10 min/miles and try and work on pace more. I'm generally there but sometimes i give up and walk which takes my average over. I think if i try and work more on increasing the distance at pace it'll help. Not sure why i feel i have to do it as a monthly goal rather than specific sessions though!
@Ian_Eb Fat club isn't going well. I weighed myself last night and was 109.6kg. That was using my home scales though rather than the gym ones. I've ended my gym membership so will use these for consistency. Annoying to show a 2.6kg increase though. I've not had the healthiest of weeks, but not sure how much is due to that and how much is down to accuracy of the scales.

Whether this is a sign of my total lack of fitness (10k is just 59:29 atm) but strangely i had that nice feeling in your legs when you know you have done some work, but its not painfull kinda. By all accounts this will be the norm for at least 4 weeks so easy training ahead
