I think maybe I need to find out the definition of a 'hill' in the running world. I live at the top of a hill and wherever I run I have to do what I consider 'hills', but I am a bit worried that when someone says a course is hilly that my version of a hill might also just be a speed bump!!

I'd say hills are anything that affect your time.

The Great North Run has some significant climbs that go on a fair while, but they cant be said to affect your time when the course has produced the world record on numerous occassions. So they're not hills.:D

If the race organisers have a tough course they call it 'Undulating'. If they call it 'Hilly' be afraid, be very afraid!:p:p

I wanted to kill you too at one or two points along the way - you said you would take over at 20 miles and run the last 6 for me......I looked for you to hand over my number but you were nowhere to be seen.

Some people just can't be relied on......:rolleyes:

Oh yeah....sorry about that!:o

But it was rather hot and by that stage I was pretty tired from all that arduous spectating.;)

In my defence, I think the chances of finding you at 20 miles would have been pretty slim. By that point my eyes were merging everyone together in a blob of runnerdom!:p

And furthermore, I wouldn't have wanted to deny you the opportunity to get the piccie that currently resides on your profile!:D:D

I'll let you off then, just this one time.....

blob of runnerdom describes how I feel perfectly!!! If you ever see that user name on a running forum, you know it's me :rotfl:

You could sue me.........but I am in debt so have nothing to pay......

I see it as fair exchange for breach of contract though

im glad you are on the subject of 5k runs.
i went out yesterday and i found it really hard
i didnt really warm up and (for me) i went bat out of hell then suffered... but overall time i was pleased with but i reckon if i could be more consistant i could get it down more.
i also often feel i am not trying hard enough but i was during this.....

1k...4.28
2k...4.52
3k...5.07
4k...5.29
5k...5.22

25mins 21 secs

hr was up around 178 for most of it .....

looking forward to running into work again next week

I would be happy with 25 mins! But yes, I can see that you slowed down quite a lot - I find it really difficult to slow down over those first couple of miles, so I know where you are coming from.
