I sit here at my office desk and look out the window and see the mountian there... Then I wish I could be running up it!!!<br /><br />With even my flat run being hilly I don't have a problem, so find yourself a hill, and don't worry about that profile it looks all downhill after 10!!! So aim at the sub 4 and if you are strong for the 1st half the 2nd will be easy...<br /><br />Will be following you every step of the way.coach dionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464619260070895703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-72737634044242550252012-01-09T13:21:38.019-05:002012-01-09T13:21:38.019-05:00Running mantra - "Hills make me faster, hills...Running mantra - "Hills make me faster, hills make me stronger" I grunt through clenched teeth.

Living in Rochester Hills, it can be hard to find a route that's NOT hilly sometimes unless I stick to the trails. I ran the Brooksie Way for the first time this past fall and trained for the hills a lot. I felt great through the run and got a nice PR, so the hill training paid off. The elevation for that Flying Pig hill looks brutal though. You are definitely wise to prepare for that! I agree with Ken that the golf course road at Stony can be a good one (or bad, depending how you look at it and how tired you are when you hit it.) ;)Janethttp://www.twitter.com/reidphotographynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-88090241060422263602012-01-09T08:15:52.557-05:002012-01-09T08:15:52.557-05:00Jeff, hills are your friend.

The good news is most of the climbing is in one big hill, so you just suffer through that for a couple miles and you're set!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341126723578608275noreply@blogger.com
