What's the best hill training?

[Rodders rambler]

Cheers guys, the kind of thing I'm thinking of is to join a club and be able to keep up (almost!) on the hills, and a bit more speed up hill, even if walking, on long days out.
But, I want to get a wee bit better at hills before I approach a club, probably one of the two you mentioned above. I know Wharfedale do a regular tuesday run in my home town, Silsden - is that a road run, off-road, or a mixture does anyone know?

Just get along,i'd say in my experience, at least 50% of club runners are of very average standard. That's not a criticism,just a realistic gauge as to what you should expect. You will be fine. Don't worry about any efforts on your own. Just get out and run,if you go along to a club run and they're doing hill reps then fine,get amongst it. It will give you an idea of what you might want to do in the future. Ask questions and learn.
Have fun.
