Clear, warm night and Hallgates carpark was filled with club runners from all over the county. After a mass warm-up groups split up into 5k times eg sub-20 mins and a hill coaching session. About 10 club members attended and 4 of us tackled the “hills in a year” coaching session covering the key points to consider with hill training throughout the running year. Have an annual training plan with specific events to aim for were the key messages from the coaches. Good fun and mixing with other club runners in a non-competitive environment was very enjoyable.
