I hate hills

[@Manuel-901]

Good afternoon. Come on, Fordy.....!!!Never give up!!!. Here is my Like. A nice weekend for everyone.

[@Stevenc1984]

Some great scenery in that race! A lot better than endless coffee and betting shops you get in big city races. Excellent performance too! 🎉🎊

[@FordyRuns]

Thank you

[@TheHutchRuns]

Great video Chris, hills make you stronger, one of the best forms of speedwork, hill reps! Entered the Blaydon races ballot thanks to your excellent video of last year's race!

[@FordyRuns]

It’s such a great race

[@nrg_runs]

Good stuff, Fordy! I did this one for the first time too and did a vlog for my (little) channel… thought the same as you, enjoyed it DESPITE the hills 😅

[@KR-no1or]

Great work Fordy. Unfortunately for me if i want flat i have to drive a few hours away or get on a treadmill 😢 just did 25k with just shy of 400m ascent just around my town. That's Southern Germany for ya.

[@FordyRuns]

You’d love it near me

[@steveplummer5595]

Great video. Love these small/medium races. 👍🙌

[@FordyRuns]

Yeah great fun

[@NOKIA6031]

Hi Chris! Congrats for the race! But talking about hills, you need to try Athens Greece Marathon the Authentic... Finishing the race at the Panathenaic stadium where the first Olympic games were held, is the prize for 20k plus running uphill 😮

[@FordyRuns]

Yeah I fancy this

[@nicklas6973]

Try vertical k! I will be doing my first one this summer. Looking forward to it. I know it’s going to be brutal and that’s why I want to do it. Do challenging things while I can.

[@FordyRuns]

Good luck

[@Wings_nut]

A hill is just another opportunity to leave your competition behind.

[@FordyRuns]

Love this

[@Wings_nut]

@@FordyRuns Cheers, Chris

Hills pay the bills 💪

[@FordyRuns]

[@TadeuszCantwell]

As a coach you should love hill repeats!

[@FordyRuns]

what difference it make whether I am a coach or not? watch the whole video before commenting

[@TadeuszCantwell]

@@FordyRuns I was trying to make a joke because other coaches recommend hill repeats. Just finished it now and I see you enjoyed the course.

[@patrickedwards5804]

If you want to inflict more hills on your legs give Dartford 1/2 Marathon a crack!

[@FordyRuns]
