Impossible is nothing!

When I lived in Macclesfield I used to do hill reps on Shooters Clough, 8 reps of roughly five minutes up. Seemed to work wonders on the racing at the time. Unfortunately I now live 40 minutes away so the little local ones have to count.
30 stair reps in the bag, 54 mins, calf sore but not broken!
Used paper clips to count; it worked well

" I built up from 3 climbs to 30 between January and April (30x102 steps) "- Stef F.
I built up to 60x25 steps - nowhere near as tough as 102 steps all at once - and x30 - respect! The main problem I have with it is boredom - I put on the radio which helps. It does mean sore calves for the next few days; I only do this session when for one reason or another I cannot go out.
Yesterday a short snappy fell race from Langsett, Washington Wasp, fast and furious with some serious bracken bashing, managed a second some how had legs like a jelly at the end...
Green flash was also running
This morning was a 13 mile 1500ft run from Fairholms to Margery hill returning back via the HPM route taking in the sneaky SloeGin box! Back to the car and straight on to the Cross bike for another 12 miles, I thought this would be the death of me but no! flew round Ladybowyer.
Rest now until the Oughtibridge Chase....erm....Tomorrow!
Yesterday - 7.8 miles on Dorset farm land in an hour followed by 200 squats.
Today - an hour of squash followed by 200 squats.

My first hill rep session yesterday..
I have found a steep hill that is almost runable (first time) with a height gain of approx 200ft then a gentle jog round the back to the start. Did 4 reps with the 5th topping out another 200ft higher. The reps took 30 mins with a 15 min warm up to get there and same home again. Could only just walk at the end of it, legs feel heavy today.
Having not done these type of sessions before does this sound about right??
3rd week of training for the Snowdon race. A steep/hilly run upto/around Rachub today. Hard work, but starting to feel the benefit of ensuring that all my training runs at the mo contain at least one "climb". Hoping to do my 1st fell race next Tuesday after missing out on the Great Orme fell race last night
10 minutes steady run across fields and up and over a hill. 12 hill reps on the next hill - 2 more stones than last week. 8 minutes of fast undulating running back home. aiming for 15 reps next week.
9 mile hilly run last night with a clubmate in about 1:03 including about 900ft of climbing. Started along river at Horsforth up to the treatment works at Esholt (about 5 miles), then sharp right to climb 700-800ft in 1.5-2.0 miles to the top of the Billing before a quick sharp descent back to the clubhouse. Enjoyed pushing hard tonight and felt pretty good, one of my favourite routes.
