I do find it difficult to manage everything, as we tend to have two club hard sessions a week (99% of my clubmates consider my racing schedule to be utterly reckless, and they might race 5 times a year outside of cross country and road relays). But i'd prefer to have a hard hill session in there too, if time permitted. I tend to drop the hard hill session, and keep the club sessions, as i think it's important to run hard on the flat even when training for fells.
