20/05/12 - Trail Running + Hill Sprints

Conditioning
Me and seven other guys from the gym got out of the gym and on to the hills for a bit of conditioning.

We met at Pincinthorpe car park and set off through Guisbrough Woods to base of Roseberry Topping. We done a couple of hill sprints in pairs up the smaller of the two hills before tackling Roseberry. My times for the smaller hill averaged out at 27 seconds, with Roseberry Topping taking me 3:50. After a little rest at the summit we descended back down the way we came and up the smaller of the two again. Another long run mainly along the fire tracks and a couple of down hill trails. We stopped off at a couple of obstacles on the way, messing about on some pull up bars and some parallel dip bars. Overall we covered around 8-9K.

Whats strange is i really enjoyed this and i HATE running. More of this to be done, and defiantly some trail shoes to be bought, i was skidding all over in my normal running shoes.
