Solo hills take a bit of trial and error effort wise, I reckon. I'm lucky in that I have several years worth of sprint hill sessions I can refer back to. Sounds like you are getting the 'feel ' of your chosen hills, DT - next set of reps will be more satisfactory, I bet.
bonners - that's a neat session. Good to have company on it, too! What sort of pace are you looking at? Assume it is pace rather than time as you are a distance runner. What race coming up?

It is a Borders League race, flat and just over five miles. We last did it about two years ago so will be interesting to compare how much slower I am and give me a benchmark to work off and improve.
I actually look more at the time on my track reps as my Garmin gives dodgy traces around the track. So on that session if I was running well, I should be able to run relaxed but hard at about 41-42 seconds per rep.
At the moment due to my back issues I'm more like 44 per rep and also lacking consistency. I still feel that the track sessions are the right road back.

Ta! I get (understand) that re times. Slower than my sprint group would run them... but jog recoveries - and not supposed to be a hard session before a race, just get legs turning over nicely.

Exactly, just letting the legs know they've got a race coming up
In the Summer there is a sprint group training on the same track, always amusing when we're doing a rep and they fly past 😁

My quality today was recovering from a really disappointing long jump and 60m sprint to get a good season's best in the shot put.

Sharkie you’re amazing
I’ve been for a recovery run earlier on the beach with Stef and Tuss following yesterday’s 5K PB

I’m claiming my club cross country race - I was slow & didn’t enjoy it but I’m hoping it’ll strengthen my legs for normal people racing that doesn’t involve 6 inches of mud, 45 degree slopes or wading through rivers.
